Sciorra’s Testimony
2020-02-02
Once more the significance of the #MeToo movement in Hollywood came to the fore on January 23, when actress Annabella Sciorra (The Sopranos) testified in State Supreme Court in Manhattan against former Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein. Annabella S gave a detailed account of her alleged rape in the early 1990s by the infamous Hollywood producer in a nerve-shattering testimony that had the entire courtroom listen to her in pin-drop silence. Annabella’s S’s testimony is only as a witness in two other cases being heard against Harvey W, to establish ‘a pattern of predatory behaviour’, since the statute of limitations has passed in her own case. Catharsis for those allegedly wronged aside, at the end of the day, the courtroom will be the place for justice to be meted out.
