New day of the Weinstein trial and new damning testimony against the producer. Dawn Dunning was called as a witness "Molineaux", that is to say that her testimony must serve to demonstrate a recurring (and well tested) modus operandi of the accused. And it did not fail. Like others before her, she said that the former boss of Miramax assured her that to be successful she had to have sex with him. "He cited the names of Charlize Theron and Salma Hayek as an example of those who had accepted," she said under oath, as reported by Deadline.

The one who also accuses Harvey Weinstein of having sexually assaulted and threatened her detailed their meetings. The story goes back to the early 2000s, when she was a waitress at a Manhattan nightclub and dreamed of becoming an actress after studying at New York University, the Parsons School of Design and the Lee Strasberg Institute. Then aged 24, she was received by Harvey Weinstein in the suite that served as his office at the Midtown hotel.

Blackmail and assault

Harvey Weinstein would have promised him three roles against his sexual favors. Dawn Dunning, who works for advertising agencies today, adds that he brandished the contracts under his nose before proposing to him the market: to have relations with him and his assistant. "I sign them today if you make a threesome with us," he would have told her.

" I laughed. I thought he was joking. He became furious. He said to me, 'You will never get there in this business! This is how the industry works! '', She adds.

Harvey Weinstein has always denied having coerced sex with his partners. Salma Hayek said that she was the victim of continuous harassment from the producer. As for Charlize Theron, she always said that she had no problem with Harvey Weinstein, even if she is "not surprised" by the accusations brought against him.
