The former Project Runway production assistant walked into court at 9:41 a.m.
At their first meeting in Weinstein’s hotel suite, Weinstein allegedly asked for a massage. Haleyi refused and left the room feeling “humiliated,” thinking she would never hear from him again about work. She was surprised to hear back from a Weinstein Company employee telling her there was an opportunity with Project Runway. She went to New York City and worked on the show.
Haleyi allegedly rejected Weinstein and pushed him away, but “he would just pull me back and keep kissing and fondling me, and I got up, and I tried to walk away from him,” she said. “And then I said, ‘No, no,’ and at that point I started realizing what was actually happening: I’m being raped,” she said.
“He forced himself on me orally, and he put his mouth on my vagina … I kept trying to tell him, ‘No, don’t go there,’ and ‘Don’t do that. I’m on my period. I have a tampon in.’”
