'He pushed me down, he held me down by my arms. At that point started realizing what was actually happening.” Mimi Haleyi, former 'Project Runway' production assistant, took the stand to tell her story of being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesMimi Haleyi, a former 'Project Runway' production assistant, is one of the two women mentioned in Weinstein’s New York indictment. “I was just crying 'No,'" she said.
At first, she said, Weinstein was “friendly, normal” and welcomed her to the loft apartment, asking her if she wanted something to drink. They sat on opposite ends of a sofa. She considered her options for escape, but “ultimately, after a while, I checked out. … He forced himself on me orally. I was on my period. I had a tampon on in there. I was mortified. I was just crying, ‘No!’ I kept trying to tell him, ‘No, don’t go there.’ … I was in such shock that I just checked out.”
