Mr. Weinstein answered the door in a bathrobe and suggested that Ms. Dunning agree to a threesome with him and one of his assistants to advance her career. Ms. Dunning said she laughed, thinking it was a joke. Ms. Dunning was the third accuser to testify against Mr. Weinstein at his trial in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan. In all, six women are testifying against Mr. Weinstein at the trial, which is widely seen as a defining moment in the #MeToo movement. Mr. Weinstein was an influential producer who reshaped the independent movie industry with Oscar winners like “Shakespeare in Love” and Pulp Fiction.” But since 2017, more than 90 women have accused Mr. Weinstein of sexual misconduct.
