Yeah, so this is a headline I didn't expect to write today.
Disgraced Hollywood executive and all-around pervert Harvey Weinstein is reportedly going to argue in court that he had a consensual affair with the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
That's right, Weinstein says he and Newsom's wife were sleeping together and it wasn't the sexual assault situation previously exposed.
From the Post Millennial:
Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein won a small victory in a long legal battle on Monday, after a judge said that she would allow his legal team the opportunity to question California Governor Gavin Newsom's wife. Jennifer Siebel Newsom will be questioned about an email she sent to Weinstein two years ago after allegedly being raped by the disgraced producer.
Weinstein's lawyers aim to prove the affair was consensual and will use Jennifer Siebel Newsom's contact with Weinstein as evidence.
Weinstein attorney Mark Werksman said that details were necessary, adding "Of all things you'd think a woman that is raped by Harvey Weinstein wouldn't do, it's ask[ing] him how to deal with a sex scandal."
"The fact that she comes to Mr. Weinstein for that advice indicates the friendship and companionship of Jane Doe 4 and Mr. Weinstein. The defense will be that they had an affair, that they had consensual sex," he continued.
This argument would corroborate the claims in this interview between commentator Dave Rubin and actress Rose McGowan last year:
Whatever the truth is, I have to say:
California, the land of "progress."
