Weinstein Accuser Mimi Haley Slams Defense Team’s Victim Shaming, Says “Don’t Rape People”

Update, video added In an appearance on ABC’s The View today, Miriam “Mimi” Haley, whose courtroom testimony of being sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein resulted in a conviction that could see the ex-producer in prison for 25 years, spoke out against the victim-blaming tactic of Weinstein’s defense team.
Without mentioning defense attorney Donna Rotunno by name, Haley told The View audience, “I don’t think we should be telling people, like Harvey Weinstein’s attorney did, ‘Don’t put yourself in that position.” She added that the message should be, “Don’t rape people.”
Throughout the trial, Rotunno and other defense attorneys portrayed Weinstein’s accusers, including Haley, as women used the producer for career advancement and failed to accept responsibility for the results. Rotunno said on a New York Times podcast that she had never been sexually assaulted because she had never put herself in “any vulnerable circumstance.
