Gigi Hadid Dismissed as Potential Juror in Harvey Weinstein Trial
Model Gigi Hadid on Thursday was dismissed as a potential juror in Harvey Weinstein’s criminal trial in New York City.After appearing at the Manhattan courthouse for a few minutes, Hadid and roughly 60 other people were dismissed based on their responses to a prescreening questionnaire filled out earlier in the week.The model first appeared in court on Monday as a potential juror and said she could keep an “open mind on the facts” despite having met Weinstein before.
But the model’s celebrity status was a cause for concern for the defense, which filed a motion on Wednesday afternoon citing the media attention on her.
