The details emerged while Mann testified Monday in Weinsteins Manhattan rape and sexual-assault trial.
In an attempt to make Mann look unreliable, Rotunno pressed her on details about the alleged urination.
Was that before the incident in New York?
Rotunno said, referencing the alleged rape.
Rotunno asked whether it allegedly happened in Los Angeles or New York.
I knew where Harvey and I were, Mann recalled.
We were in the shower.
And I said, No.
And then I felt him he peeing on me.
Rotunno asked Mann whether she left.
I was in shock by it, it was gross, Mann explained, breaking into tears.
I turned into the corner of the shower and just looked away.
Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the indictment.
Your entire relationship with Mr. Weinstein, you lied to him every single time?
In what way?, Mann asked.
Well, you made him believe you wanted to be there?
For my safety, yeah.
Weinstein dozed off repeatedly throughout cross-examination.
One juror was also spotted nodding off this afternoon.
Rotunno repeatedly questioned Mann on emails exchanged with Weinstein that appear to show an amicable relationship with him.
One missive showed that Mann gave Weinstein her new phone number.
In one message, Mann emphatically praised Weinsteins work.
Mann sent this note after their relationship had soured.
Rotunno asked Mann to read this aloud.
I was close enough to him to tell you that he no longer has a working penis.
I never asked what happened …
I accepted that my father was that older man, who dated girls younger than me.
Harvey validated me, he always offered to help me in ways that my parents didnt.
I felt approval to pursue the industry because he encouraged me, she continued to read.
Harvey was my fathers age, and he gave me all the validation I needed, she continued reading.
A big part of myself avoided him because I didnt yet control the situation …
I tried to make him my pseudo-father, Mann said, still reading aloud.
This sexual assault youre talking about is from when you were younger, correct?
At this point, Mann started weeping on the witness stand, her breath strained.
The judge decided to have a brief break.
When Mann came back into the courtroom, she was carrying a stress ball.
When she sat back down, she wept once more.
Prosecutor Joan Illuzzi came to the bench and tried to calm her down.
Mann, who was inconsolable, was led out of the courtroom once more, clutching her chest.
For a time, her cries were audible after she left.
At that time, Mann will return to the stand for additional cross-examination.
Update, February 24:Harvey Weinsteins verdicthas been announced.
