A woman who says Harvey Weinstein<\/strong><\/a> forcibly performed oral sex on her testified Tuesday at his MeToo retrial that she never had any romantic or sexual interest in the one-time Hollywood heavyweight.<\/p>\n

Miriam Haley, the first of three accusers expected to testify, told jurors about an awkward meeting with Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival in France two months before she says he assaulted her at his Manhattan apartment in July 2006.<\/p>\n

The witness, reprising her testimony from his first trial in 2020, said she went to Weinstein\u2019s hotel room to speak about potential jobs in the movie and TV business, but he \u201cquickly started talking about other things.\u201d He commented on her legs and suggested they give each other massages, Haley said.\u00a0Now 47, she said she refused his advances and burst into tears as she left.<\/p>\n
