Donna Rotunno Harvey Weinstein Case

Rotunno is Harvey Weinstein’s lead defense attorney. Harvey and his brother Bob Weinstein co-founded the entertainment company Miramax, which produced several successful independent films, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Heavenly Creatures (1994), Pulp Fiction (1994), Flirting with Disaster (1996), and Shakespeare in Love (1998).

In October 2017, following sexual abuse allegations against Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein was dismissed from his company and expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. By October 31, over 80 women had made allegations against him. The allegations sparked the #MeToo social media campaign and many similar sexual abuse allegations against (and dismissals of) powerful men around the world; this phenomenon is referred to as the “Weinstein effect”.

On May 25, 2018, Harvey Weinstein was arrested in New York and charged with rape. He was later released after $1 million bail was posted on his behalf. Weinstein later surrendered his passport and was required to wear an ankle monitor, with travel being restricted to New York and Connecticut. On January 6, 2020, his trial commenced, and Harvey was also charged with rape in Los Angeles.

On February 18, 2020, she was scolded for writing an op-ed on eve of jury deliberations. The piece, penned by attorney Donna and published in Newsweek on Sunday, implored the jury “to do what they know is right and was expected of them from the moment they were called upon to serve their civic duty in a court of law.”

Rotunno wrote, “The mocking of Mr. Weinstein’s walker, the unflattering courtroom-artist sketches of his body, the countless critical op-eds, and biased stories, and the convenient timing of the politically-motivated charges in Los Angeles were all designed to pre-determine his guilt.” Rotunno finishes the op-ed by saying that “The facts are the facts. Harvey Weinstein is innocent. His fate hangs in the balance, and the world is watching.”
