"Mann described how Weinstein invited her and her friend to his hotel room under the guise of discussing a film, but once there, he forcibly kissed her and performed oral sex on her despite her resistance."
"She testified that she faked an orgasm to appease Weinstein, believing it was the best way to get him to stop, and felt confused and sick after the encounter."
"Weinstein allegedly warned Mann, 'My friends go far, and my enemies don't step a foot in this town,' leaving her feeling threatened and uncertain about her future in the industry."
