Weinstein has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sexual activity.
Do you see Harvey Weinstein in the courtroom here today?
asked prosecutor Meghan Hast shortly after Dunning entered.
Dunning peered at the always rumpled-looking Weinstein and nodded.
Hes right here, Dunning said, pointing to Weinstein.
Hasts questioning initially explored how Dunning and Weinstein first met.
I didnt know who he was.
Dunning said she told him she was an actress, and Weinstein said he could help her.
She gave him her number and didnt think shed hear back because hes Harvey Weinstein.
His assistant did call and a lunch meeting was scheduled.
The meeting was professional and they stuck to business, Dunning testified.
I remember him on the phone a lot, yelling at people, Dunning recalled.
I was talking with Harvey, and he kind of led me into the other room, Dunning testified.
Hast pressed Dunning to describe the alleged incident in more detail.
He put his hand up my skirt.
And then what happened?
He … told me not to make a big deal about it.
When he put his hand up your skirt, what, if anything, did he do?
His hand went under my underwear, Dunning said, breaking into tears.
He was trying to put it in … put it in my.
He was trying to put it in my vagina.
Did his finger actually go into your vagina?
Like, slightly, said Dunning, who dabbed her nose with a tissue.
Not all the way.
About a month later, Weinsteins assistant told Dunning that he wanted to meet with her again.
She asked me to come to a hotel to meet him, Dunning said.
It was because he was a big smoker at the time, and they had a cigar bar there.
When Dunning got to the hotel, which was near Park Avenue, the assistant was waiting downstairs.
Weinstein was in a suite, handling business, the assistant said.
She said lets just go up to his room, instead of waiting for him, Dunning said.
Weinstein shook his head in the courtroom again.
Did he have on any clothes underneath the robe?
Im pretty sure I didnt see any clothes, she replied.
There was just a different tone, Dunning said of Weinsteins demeanor.
I was kind of like, Hey, you know, hows it going?
He was not really that talkative at first.
There were three stacks of paper on the coffee table, Dunning said.
So he kind of just cut to the chase and said: Heres contracts for my next three films.
Ill sign them today if you have a threesome with me and my assistant.
Hast asked whether she remembered the actresses Weinstein named.
It was Charlize Theron, Salma Hayek, and I believe Uma Thurman.
I remember the first two for sure, Dunning said.
And at that point, I was scared and I didnt know what he was going to do.
It was close enough that he could have grabbed me, she continued.
He was screaming, and he was a big guy.
He was like, towering over me, and I was really scared.
Thats complete bullshit, Weinstein responded.
