ACTRESS: WEINSTEIN ACCUSER WAS ‘CRYING IN FETAL POSITION’ AFTER

FAILED THREESOME

‘SHOCKING AND TRAUMATIZING’ Emanuela Postacchini said she felt “manipulated” into a sexual scenario with Harvey Weinstein and witness Jessica Mann, who says the producer sexually assaulted her multiple times.

EMANUELA POSTACCHINI/REUTERS An Italian actress testified at Harvey Weinstein’s sex-crimes trial on Tuesday, describing how the disgraced producer allegedly “manipulated” her and accuser Jessica Mann into a failed threesome at a Los Angeles hotel in 2013. Emanuela Postacchini, 32, told jurors in Manhattan Supreme Court that she first met Mann, a key witness in Weinstein’s trial, at a party for the Weinstein Company at SoHo House in February 2013. The next evening, Weinstein invited her for drinks at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills—but immediately directed her upstairs to his room

instead.

Once inside, she said she was “surprised” to see Mann “standing in the living room of the suite.” “He told us to do something—directed us to do something together,” Postacchini said. At one point, Mann left the bedroom crying, she testified.

‘YOU OWE ME’

“Jessica left the room, ran away, crying. I ran after her. She was crying in the fetal position on the ground, so I just tried to calm her down,” Postacchini said. When Mann left, Weinstein allegedly got frustrated and exclaimed, “What is she doing?” The actress, best known for her role in _This Is America_, stressed Tuesday that she felt manipulated into the situation with Weinstein, but he did not physically force them to participate in the scenario, and she willingly went to the hotel room. “I can’t recall exactly what he was telling us to do,” the actress said when asked what Weinstein “directed” the pair to do. “Me interacting with a female.” “It was shocking and traumatizing,” she added. “Obviously I felt manipulated into a situation I didn’t want to be in.”

Postacchini also said that before the failed threesome, Weinstein invited her to brunch, but instead met her in a bathrobe, and asked for a massage. She did not state whether she agreed to Weinstein’s

proposal.

“He showed up in a bathrobe and was naked underneath and asked me for a massage,” she testified, adding she didn’t tell anybody about the incident because “to be honest, I just wanted to forget about whatever had happened and I wasn’t to move on with my life and I didn’t want to be involved.”

WEINSTEIN ACCUSER DETAILS GROSS ‘GOLDEN SHOWER’ ENCOUNTER

‘IN SHOCK’

PILAR MELENDEZ

The actress’ testimony corroborated some claims made by Mann, who emotionally told jurors on Friday how Weinstein allegedly assaulted her multiple times after the two met at a party in 2013—including raping her in a Manhattan hotel room and then attacking her again at a Beverly Hills hotel, ripping off her pants after screaming that she owed him “one more time.” Despite wanting to sever contact with Weinstein, Mann has maintained she had a brief but twisted relationship with the movie mogul, during which they also had multiple consensual sexual encounters, including

the threesome.

‘PROJECT RUNWAY’ PA: WEINSTEIN CALLED ME WHORE AMID ASSAULT

‘MORTIFIED’

PILAR MELENDEZ

Weinstein, 67, has pleaded not guilty to five sex-crime charges, including three that are related to his alleged encounters with Mann. The other two charges are for allegations made by Miriam Haleyi

,

a former _Project Runway _production assistant who testified that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her at his SoHo home in

2006.

During cross-examination, Weinstein’s defense attorneys have sought to portray Mann as a manipulative opportunist, repeatedly asking her why she continued to send friendly emails to the _Pulp Fiction_ producer even after he allegedly raped her in a New York City hotel

room in March 2013.

Mann has maintained she was trying to “protect” herself and her budding career by keeping herself on Weinstein’s good side—despite the abuse. “There was a reason my behavior was like this,” Mann said. “It’s just keeping him happy. I felt safe on email.” Often speaking in a barely audible tone, Mann resumed her third day of testimony on Tuesday, with Weinstein’s defense again questioning her about the affectionate email relationship she maintained with the toppled titan years after the alleged sexual assaults. Defense attorney Donna Rotunno pointed to dozens of emails between the two, including one from February 2015, in which Mann asks Weinstein for a referral for membership to the SoHo House. “You want the ladies and the gentlemen of this jury to believe the person you wanted to sponsor you was your rapist?” Rotunno asked. “I do want the jury to know he is my rapist, and I want to continue to explain the dynamic,” Mann responded, before stating the sponsorship to the members-only club is “irrelevant.” “It is relevant,” Rotunno responded, visibly annoyed. Mann was also showed another email from 2016, in which she arranged to meet Weinstein at a Beverly Hills hotel. During the hotel meeting, Mann alleges Weinstein tried to film the pair having sex on

his phone camera

—causing

her to freak out.

“Your input is always a blessing in my life,” Mann wrote in an email setting up the meeting. Four hours later, Mann emailed, “I feel so fabulous and beautiful. Thank you for everything!” As Rotunno continued questioning Mann about the many emails she exchanged with Weinstein until 2017, the former actress began to cry. In one contentious moment, Rotunno grilled Mann about her inability to recount a timeline of her relationship with Weinstein—arguing she was purposefully being vague about specific dates because of the

friendly emails.

“I do know the emails. I’m not ashamed of them—that’s why I’m still here,” Mann said. “I know it’s complicated and difficult, but it doesn’t change the fact that he raped me.” When Rotunno raised her voice and suggested that she is “making excuses” for her behavior, Mann snapped, “It’s not about making an excuse. This is something I want to explain that is important for people to understand. I don’t need an excuse, I own my behavior.” Mann is among at least 80 alleged victims who have accused the Oscar-winner of sexual misconduct—which he has repeatedly denied.

EMPTY TANK?

The former VP has lost the plot, voters say. And they’re wondering if he will ever get it back.

Forty-five minutes after Joe Biden’s first campaign event was supposed to start on Saturday, his crowd had grown restless. The former Vice President wasn’t at The Rex Theatre in downtown Manchester and those crammed inside were wondering just how much longer they’d have to suck in the heated air before they get to see

him speak.

In the rafters, a chant broke out. “We Want Joe!” a few voices said, overpowering the soundtrack of classic rock and commercial motown that had been playing on blast to keep the crowd from completely dozing off. “This is a microcosm of the failure of this campaign. The energy is slowly dissipating from this room.”

— Adam Ross

But no one picked it up. Instead, after two renditions, the men simply stopped. And those who bothered to consider joining in the chorus did what they’d been doing best since it became clear that the event would not start on time: they dumped their faces back into their cell

phones.

“This is a microcosm of the failure of this campaign,” said Adam Ross, a Long Islander who helped start the chant. “The energy is slowly dissipating from this room.” Biden’s campaign is running on fumes. A candidate with all the trappings of a traditional frontrunner—the long resume, party backing, relevant experience, and steady poll numbers—suddenly is on electoral life support. A fourth place showing in the Iowa Caucus days ago has raised the stakes for the upcoming primary. But even Biden himself seems to be grappling with the likelihood that another humiliation is on the horizon. His first answer during Friday

night’s debate

was devoted, in part, to explaining how he was likely to lose on

Tuesday.

For a candidate staring down another major setback—one that could irrevocably derail his presidential ambitions—one would expect Biden to be infused with a sense of urgency and desperation. But none of that was apparent on Saturday morning. And the lethargy that has come to define his campaign has begun to have an effect on voter

perceptions.

“I had a hunch, watching the debate last night, that maybe, just maybe, his heart was not in it,” said Jim Barry, who had come to New Hampshire from Buffalo, New York. “This was a call to duty for him. But it doesn’t feel like he actually wants it.” “2008 was his time,” said Kevin Both, who also was from New York, and who had traveled there with Barry. “Now, there’s not much gas left in the tank.”

GOP BASE HOT TO PROBE BIDEN, SENATE REPUBLICANS NOT SO MUCH

FLIP IT

SAM BRODEY

Inside the Rex Theatre it was almost impossible to find an actual Biden supporter. Most of those in attendance were not even from New Hampshire, and those who were said that they’d come not to lend their support so much as to survey their options. For those on the fence, Biden has done painfully little to win them over. The former VP has spent months selling Democrats on the notion that he’d be the best in the field to take on Trump. But no one on Saturday seemed convinced of it anymore. Take Pat Young, 62, who hails from Manchester and said he was preternaturally animated by a desire to get the current president out

of office.

“People are saying, ‘vote the issues, vote the issues.’ Well, fuck the issues,” Young said. “Trump has made this country so much worse and this is all about getting rid of Trump because if he wins I don’t think our democracy can survive.” “What is happening to him, what Bozo—which is what I call Trump—is doing to him, I would expect him to have more fight. And it worries me that he doesn’t.” — Terri, Manchester voter But with just days to go before he had to cast his primary ballot, Young admitted he was no closer to figuring out who fit his criteria than when the primary truly started. What he did know is that Biden was no longer “the surest bet.” “Even for someone like me who says it’s about getting rid of Trump, there is not much there, there,” he explained. Whether Biden has permanently lost voters like Young will ultimately determine the success of his candidacy. Privately, aides have downplayed expectations in New Hampshire by arguing that he simply can’t compete with two Senators from neighboring states: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But the truth of the matter is that there are a number of Granite Staters who want to vote for him but feel like he has not given them a reason to do so. Sitting one row over from Young was a woman named Terri, who was also from Manchester, but who declined to give her last name. Biden, she said, was confounding to her. A politician who had built his reputation for wearing his emotions on his sleeves, sometimes to his own detriment, suddenly seemed sapped of emotion. “What is happening to him, what Bozo—which is what I call Trump—is doing to him, I would expect him to have more fight,” she said. “And it worries me that he doesn’t. That’s his son ’s attacking. Why isn’t he fighting back more? Why isn’t he saying, ‘How dare you say that about me and my son? I brought my kids up with integrity!’” Soon, Biden was running almost an hour late and his crowd’s patience was truly being tested.  Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out” came on the speakers. And yet, Biden didn’t come out. Half of the crew who had started the “We Want Joe” chant decided to leave. A speaker was introduced but there were audible ”ughs” when Richard Komi, a Nigerian refugee who represented Manchester's Ward 5, came out instead

of Biden.

But Komi was the introductory speaker. And soon, Biden entered. His gait was slow and his shoulders slumped, his blazer draped almost lazily against his body. He looked over to his left, just past the rope that was blocking the crowd from him. Two young kids were there. He joked with one about how if he sits through the speech without acting up, ice cream may await. The next kid was introduced to him as Beau and suddenly, the room went quiet. “I have a Beau too,” he said, a reference to the son he lost to brain cancer but whom he still speaks about as if he’s there. The crowd relaxed, their frustration with waiting melting away; reminded that the man before them is layered with tragedy and optimism. They truly care about him, in their bones, even if they have come to conclude that he’s not the right person they want to take on

Trump.

And, for a little while, Biden gave them no reason to second guess that conclusion. When he recalled how he outworked his opponent as a 29-year-old vying for a Senate seat—literally going door-to-door to win over votes—it merely served as a contrast to how sedentary his

effort is now.

But then, a light was turned on, as if he reminded himself that he’s in the fight of his political life. He became infused with energy. He went after Trump for fundamentally changing the nature of America. He went after Sanders for being wrong on gun policy. He went after former Mayor Pete Buttigeig for having the audacity to run for president from the perch of a mayoralty. There was vim and vigor in him now. “Gloves. Are. Off,” is how one Biden aide put it. Biden was suddenly finding a rhythm. A crescendo of attack lines was followed by a well-placed pause, signalling that there was gravity in the words he’s about to utter. “I’ve lost a lot in my life,” he said, referencing not just Beau but the wife and kids who died in a car crash shortly after that first Senate win. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand by and lose my

country too.”

He would go on to reprise that line later in the night, at a dinner organized by the state Democratic Party for the various candidates. And for good reason. It gave those in attendance a reason to feel good about him again. At the Rex Theatre, people stopped looking into their phones and started using them to take photos and videos. A few stood up to cheer. But no sooner did Biden have them on the edge of their seats, he cut it off. The speech ended not too long after it began. Biden stuck around to take pictures and do some retail politics. He was noticeably happier doing that. But in the rafters, the sale

wasn’t made.

“Good man,” said one of the guys who started the chant. “Good speech. But his time has passed.”
