Weinstein jury set to keep deliberating after tensions spill into public
NEW YORK — Jurors in Harvey Weinsteinn'ssex crimes retrial appear to be moving past some interpersonal tensions and focusing on one of his three accusers as deliberations stretch into a fourth day Tuesday. At the end of Monday's session, jurors requested to start off Tuesday with electronic copies of emails and other evidence pertaining to Jessica Mann — the accuser with arguably the most complex history with Weinstein. During days of testimony, Mann said the Oscar-winning movie producer raped her in 2013 amid a consensual relationship that continued for years afterward. Weinstein's lawyers emphasized that she kept seeing him, accepting invitations and sending warm messages to him. Mann said she 'compartmentalized' the pain he caused her. Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges in the case. In addition to the rape charge, he's accused of sexually assaulting two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola. Weinstein didn't testify during the current trial, but maintained through his attorneys that he had completely consensual encounters with his accusers, who wanted his help building show business careers. Weinstein was one of the movie industry's most powerful figures until a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public in 2017, fueling the #MeToo movement and eventually leading to criminal charges. The jury is made up of seven women and five men. Their closed-door discussions began Thursday and apparently have been fractious at times. One juror asked Friday to be excused because he felt one member of the group was being treated unfairly. Monday began with two jurors giving contrasting takes on the atmosphere in the deliberation room. First, the foreperson complained to the judge, prosecutors and defense lawyers that some jurors were 'pushing" others to change their minds, talking about Weinstein's past and going beyond the charges. The foreperson didn't specify what was said. Trial evidence has included some testimony about allegations outside the scope of the current charges, such as mentions of the groundswell of claims against the ex-studio boss in 2017. Weinstein originally was convicted in New York in 2020 of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on Haley. Sokola's allegation was added last year, after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Meanwhile, Weinstein is appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. The Associated Press generally does not identify people without their permission if they say they have been sexually assaulted. Sokola, Mann and Haley have agreed to be named.

Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding photo gets a quiet but telling response from the Buffalo Bills
Hollywood glamour met NFL grit as actress and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said 'I do' in a dreamy wedding ceremony last weekend in California. While the couple has kept their romance relatively private since they started dating in 2023, their wedding was anything but low-key — it was an unforgettable celebration with just the right mix of love, elegance, and unexpected celebrity appearances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Josh Allen's wedding photo with Hailee Steinfeld gets a quiet nod from the Bills—but it speaks volumes From the very start, the event had all the makings of a fairytale. Steinfeld turned heads in a stunning short white rehearsal dress before slipping into her bridal gown to walk down the aisle, arm in arm with her father. Their romantic kiss at the altar quickly made waves online, sealing their new beginning with a moment fans will remember for years. The ceremony itself was intimate yet star-studded, with several Buffalo Bills teammates in attendance and, surprisingly, even comedian and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David showing up as a guest. Allen, who proposed to Steinfeld back in November 2023 in a Malibu setting straight out of a rom-com, finally made it official with his Oscar-nominated fiancée. The couple had been quietly building their relationship in the public eye while balancing the intense spotlight that comes with being a top-tier NFL star and a multi-talented Hollywood actress. Though Steinfeld skipped her usual Beau Society newsletter the week of the wedding — understandably so — she still found a sweet way to connect with her fans. On June 6, she posted a radiant photo of herself and Allen from their big day, writing, 'We're married! More to come…' The simple yet joyful message had her followers buzzing with excitement, especially given the rare personal glimpse into the couple's life. The reaction? Absolutely heartwarming. The Buffalo Bills themselves dropped two emojis — '😍😍' — in the comments section of Steinfeld's Instagram post, a subtle but affectionate nod of approval from Allen's team. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The quarterback, known for keeping his private life under wraps, even chimed in with a comment of his own, something fans don't often see. Adding to the magic, a viral billboard in Buffalo once playfully dubbed Steinfeld 'The Queen of Buffalo' — and now, it seems, that title has officially come to life. Though the full story of their wedding is still under wraps, it's clear from the early glimpses that this was more than just a union of two people — it was a perfect merging of Hollywood charm and NFL heart, celebrated with authenticity and style.
