A surprising turn of events occurred in the final moments of the Harvey Weinstein trial when prosecutors called a Weinstein accuser back for further testimony. Ashley Matthau, who testified earlier…
accusing Weinstein of masturbating on her during production of the 2004 film “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights,” returned to the stand Wednesday morning as a rebuttal witness for the prosecution, moments after the defense rested their case.
“To this day, I still receive them,” Matthau said on the stand of being sent residual checks. “If you’re a principal dancer or have a speaking role, you get residuals … extras don’t get residuals. But I was a principal dancer, so I get residuals.” When Jansen testified, she said that Garai did not have a body double on the film — which would be highly unlikely on a musical production.
Matthau also testified that she had confided in the choreographer for help in regards to Weinstein during production on the film. She said that she did not provide her with any help. During Jansen’s testimony on Monday, the choreographer was asked by Weinstein’s attorney if any female dancer met with her to “express any concern,” and she said no.Variety
