Jennifer Siebel Newsom (Gavin Newsom’s wife, testifying as “Jane Doe 4”) stated under oath that Harvey Weinstein raped and sexually assaulted her in 2005. She met him at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2005 and said the assault happened weeks later in a Beverly Hills hotel suite.
During cross-examination in the 2022 trial, Weinstein’s defense team introduced dozens of her post-incident emails (nearly 70, according to reporting) to challenge her account. These began roughly nine months later (e.g., a September 2006 email seeking coffee or lunch and expressing interest in catching up at film festivals) and continued for years. Examples include:
- Arranging or expressing interest in meetings at the Toronto and Cannes film festivals.
- A 2007 email seeking his advice on handling “bad press” related to Gavin Newsom’s (then her boyfriend’s) affair scandal.
- Thanking him for an Oscars party invitation and asking about film roles or producing advice.
If I had to speculate on what really happened, I’d guess that she slept with Weinstein when she thought it would help her career, then pretended to be a victim when that was convenient and advantageous.
Reputational harm is the female equivalent of physical violence for males. When I see this behavior from people like Candace Owens, I see her in the role of DeCarlos Brown Jr. stabbing Erika Kirk in the neck on a train. It’s malicious and vicious behavior—aggression in the way the physically weaker sex evolved to manifest it.
When I see it being done for personal gain, I am particularly disgusted by it. When I see it being done to a widow after her husband—the father of her children—was murdered, I am infuriated by it. It truly is evil; there’s just no better way to put it.
Candace has made millions off this grift, all the while ignoring the evidence against Tyler Robinson and providing nothing material herself. She’s seemingly managed to convince millions of people that she’s right, which is perhaps the most disturbing part of all of this.
I want justice for Charlie Kirk. Wrongly attacking his family, his friends, his legacy and life’s work in TPUSA only compounds the tragedy and injustice of his death.
