Harvey Weinstein Accuser Miriam Haley Tells Jury of 2006 Assault: ‘I Just Decided to Check Out and Endure It’


Miriam Haley, one of Harvey Weinstein's accusers, testified on Tuesday at the former Hollywood producer's retrial in New York City.

Haley first took the stand Tuesday and recounted first meeting Weinstein at the London premiere of “The Aviator” in 2004, where her friend, the late “Rocky Horror Picture Show” producer Michael White, introduced them. She also described several meetings with Weinstein prior to the alleged assault in 2006, including one that took place in a hotel room in France, after they reconnected at the Cannes Film Festival. After the third season of the reality competition series wrapped, she met Weinstein to have a conversation in the lobby bar of a Manhattan hotel in late June — just weeks before the alleged sexual assault.
