Miriam Haley, the former “Project Runway” production assistant who accused Harvey Weinstein of forcing her into oral sex, stormed out of the Hollywood mogul’s sex abuse trial Friday after intense questioning from a defense attorney.

Defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean grilled Haley, 48, on her claims that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her at his SoHo home in 2006.
