Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie producer, faced more allegations of sexual abuse in his ongoing trial in New York City.

On Wednesday, Dawn Dunning, a former cocktail waitress and aspiring actress, testified that Weinstein propositioned her for a threesome in exchange for a 3-picture deal.

Dunning recounted how Weinstein offered her the contracts and said, “I’ll sign them today if you have a threesome with me and my assistant.”

Dunning initially thought Weinstein was joking, but he became angry when she declined his offer.

She said Weinstein told her, “You’ll never make it in this business! This is how the industry works!”

He then named actresses Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek as examples of women who traded sex for success in Hollywood.

Dunning felt scared and ran down the hallway to escape Weinstein’s presence.

Tarale Wulff, a former waitress, also testified against Weinstein on Wednesday.

She recounted how Weinstein invited her to his SoHo loft for a movie audition in 2005.

Wulff said Weinstein pinned her down on his bed and raped her. She testified, “I told him ‘I can’t,’ and he answered ‘Don’t worry, I had a vasectomy,'” adding that she “just went blank” as he assaulted her.

Both women were called to testify about Weinstein’s prior bad acts as part of the Manhattan criminal case.

Weinstein is facing charges involving two women in New York, but over 90 women have accused him of sexual abuse.

Dunning and Wulff’s testimonies are part of the prosecution’s attempt to establish Weinstein’s pattern of behavior toward women.

Dunning said she was working as a waitress when she first met Weinstein.

She hoped he could help her pursue her dream of acting, but her experience with him made her give up her aspirations.

During her testimony, Dunning recalled the encounter with Weinstein and how it affected her.

She said, “I mean, I gave up my dream of being an actress because of him. I just couldn’t take it anymore.”

Weinstein, 67, has denied all accusations of nonconsensual sex.

His legal team has tried to discredit his accusers by portraying them as willing participants who had consensual relationships with him.

During cross-examination, Weinstein’s attorney, Damon Cheronis, asked Dunning about the emails she sent to Weinstein after their initial encounter.

Cheronis suggested that Dunning was not scared of Weinstein and that she continued to communicate with him, seeking his help to land acting jobs. Dunning replied, “No, I was never going to have sex with him.”

Dunning also told the court about another incident with Weinstein when he allegedly touched her inappropriately.

She said he slipped his hand under her skirt and touched her leg during a meeting in a hotel room.

When asked outside the court about Dunning’s testimony, Weinstein denied the allegations and said, “That’s complete b——t.”

He has maintained his innocence throughout the trial and his lawyers have argued that his accusers are lying to get money or fame.

Weinstein’s case has become a symbol of the #MeToo movement, which aims to raise awareness of sexual abuse and harassment.

Many high-profile figures in the entertainment industry have been accused of misconduct in recent years, leading to a shift in public attitudes toward these issues.

Weinstein’s trial is being closely watched as a test of whether the legal system can hold powerful men accountable for their actions.

Dunning told the court that testifying against Weinstein was the “worst and hardest thing” she had ever done.

She said she had nothing to gain from speaking out and hoped that her testimony would help other women.

“I’m here because it’s the right thing to do. And it’s time,” she said.

Wul

ff, who also testified on Wednesday, said that she had never spoken publicly about the incident before because she was scared of Weinstein’s power in the industry.

She said that she felt guilty about what had happened and blamed herself for not fighting back.

“I felt like it was my fault. I felt like I had let him do this to me,” she said.

Wulff’s testimony was emotional and powerful, as she recounted the details of the assault.

She said that Weinstein had invited her to his office in Greenwich Village for the audition, but when she arrived, he told her to come to his loft in SoHo instead.

Once there, he pinned her down on the bed and raped her. Wulff said that she felt paralyzed and helpless during the assault.

“I didn’t know what to do. I was just laying there,” she said. “I was in shock. I was scared. I didn’t know how to get out of it.”

Weinstein’s legal team tried to discredit Wulff’s testimony by pointing out inconsistencies in her story and questioning her motivations for coming forward.

His lawyer, Donna Rotunno, suggested that Wulff had lied about the assault and was seeking fame and attention.

Wulff denied the accusations and said that she had nothing to gain from testifying.

The trial is expected to last for several weeks, and more witnesses are expected to testify against Weinstein.

The prosecution will continue to present evidence of Weinstein’s pattern of behavior toward women, while the defense will argue that the encounters were consensual.

The verdict in the trial will have far-reaching implications for the #MeToo movement and the entertainment industry as a whole.

Many hope that it will send a message that sexual abuse and harassment will not be tolerated, regardless of the perpetrator’s power or status.
