Weinstein accuser mentions her love for…
Harvey Weinstein accuser Jessica Mann gushed about how “easy” it was to “love” the disgraced ex-Hollywood bigwig — just two days after he allegedly raped her, according to a bombshell word launched Thursday at his third Manhattan trial.
Mann, a former actress, typed the word, titled “Thoughts,” on her cellphone on March 20, 2013 and the choose decided that it was “clear” that it was in reference to Weinstein.
“Do I love him or the idea of him? With him—easy. The idea of expanding that—fulfilling,” Mann mused — two days after she said she was inappropriately assaulted by Weinstein in a room at the DoubleTree lodge in Manhattan.

Mann’s love word turned the middle of consideration Thursday just after the court took their afternoon lunch break.
Weinstein’s attorneys said they wished to press Mann on the writing they said was referring to the Miramax perv.
“This is her complex feelings of starting to fall in love with a married man. She talks about that,” attorney Marc Agnifilo said in his bid to introduce it at trial.
Judge Curtis Farber quizzed Mann on the word, asking her if she had been courting anybody at the time she was allegedly raped by Weinstein.

“I feel like because there’s a point that it was an open relationship, but I can’t specifically remember at this point,” Mann said, referring to how Weinstein had allegedly told her that he was in an “open relationship” with then-wife Georgina Chapman.
The choose decided that it was “clear” that Mann was referring to Weinstein in the word before permitting his attorneys to get it into evidence.
Mann — who testified that Weinstein raped her on two separate events — was on the witness stand for a third day before she was excused early by the choose when she expressed feeling mild headed and “spacey.”
She spent all the day being grilled by protection attorney Teny Geragos on how she turned acquainted with Weinstein, the love word, which she read to the jury, and the alleged “failed threesome” with an Italian actress.
Weinstein, 74, is being accused for a third time by Mann of raping her in March 2013 — in addition to a separate assault in Beverly Hills in late 2013 or early 2014.
Weinstein was initially convicted in 2020 before the verdict was overturned by an appeals court.

At his retrial last yr, the jury couldn’t agree on a determination on Mann’s charge.
On Thursday, Mann was requested about an unpublished weblog post which she wrote about when Weinstein allegedly tried to power her into a tortuous threesome with him and Italian actress Emanuela Postacchini.
In the post, Mann fantasized about having the ability to “play with this real life Barbie doll.”
She testified that she had a “full-on breakdown” when she was inside the room with Weinstein and Postacchini — but said that she was just “trying to write something funny” later about the would-be ménage à trois.
“I was ushered around a party when I was introduced to what I can only describe as Jesus as a woman,” Mann wrote in the raunchy weblog, referring to Postacchini.
When requested by Geragos to affirm that she touched Postacchini both in real life and in the weblog, Mann snapped at the attorney for making an attempt to indicate that the remaining of the account was true.
“I have been explicit that this blog is not a record of what happened. So we can pick apart whatever you want,” Mann testified. “It is not a record of that night and I have taken some inspiration from that.”
Mann returns to the witness stand Friday to resume cross examination.
