Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a documentary film-maker and the wife of California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, has taken the stand at the rape trial of Harvey Weinstein, becoming the most prominent woman so far to testify against the former Hollywood producer.
Siebel Newsom wept repeatedly as she testified about meeting Weinstein at a hotel for what she thought was a business meeting when she was a young actor, and being shocked when he suddenly returned wearing only a bathrobe and started groping her, despite her protests, eventually pulling her into a bedroom and assaulting her.
