Harvey Weinstein’s retrial erupted in chaos Friday as a former accuser lost control in a dramatic scene, according to the New York Post.

Miriam “Mimi” Haley, a former production assistant, burst into tears and was granted a break in the Manhattan courtroom. The emotional meltdown forced the judge to stop the sex crimes retrial.

Haley, now 48, was only 30 minutes into her fourth day of testimony. Tensions flared when Weinstein’s tough attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, grilled her relentlessly.

Heated Court Clash Triggers Outburst

The explosive moment came as Bonjean questioned Haley about the night Weinstein allegedly raped her in 2006.

Bonjean pressed hard, asking whether Haley willingly removed her clothes at the TriBeCa Grand Hotel. Haley shot back, saying Weinstein forced himself on her.

“I didn’t take my clothes off,” Haley said firmly. “He was the one who raped me, not the other way around.”

The defense fired back coldly. “That’s for the jury to decide,” Bonjean quipped.

“Don’t Tell Me I Wasn’t Raped”

Haley’s anger boiled over instantly. “No, it’s not for the jury to decide when it’s my experience and he did that to me,” she argued emotionally.

As tensions soared, Haley screamed, “Don’t tell me I wasn’t raped by that f-ing a-hole!” before bursting into tears.

She then rushed out of the courtroom, wiping her face. In her flustered state, she nearly collided with Weinstein, who sat silently at the defense table.

Trial Halted After Emotional Scene

The shocking moment left the courtroom stunned. Judge Michael Farber quickly paused the trial for five minutes to allow Haley to compose herself.

Court officials said Haley returned later to continue her testimony. However, the incident underscored the intensity and trauma tied to the retrial.

Weinstein, 73, remains stoic. He has pleaded not guilty and continues to deny all allegations of sexual assault.

History Repeats as Emotions Run High

Haley first testified against Weinstein in 2020. Her account back then painted a similar horrifying picture of her experience.

That trial led to Weinstein’s conviction and a 23-year prison sentence. However, that verdict was overturned last year, prompting this new retrial.

Now, if convicted again on the top charge, Weinstein could face up to 25 years behind bars.

Community Watches as Retrial Unfolds

As the retrial moves forward, Haley’s emotional reaction reminds many of the high-profile nature of this case.

Weinstein’s legal battles are far from over. The retrial remains tense, as witnesses like Haley relive painful memories in front of the court.

For now, all eyes remain on the Manhattan courtroom. The question is clear — will this Weinstein Victim Explodes moment help sway the jury’s decision in this historic case?
