Two women accused of playing a role in former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s alleged attacks on their former friends defended their actions in a Manhattan courtroom Monday, testifying that they neither had negative interactions with Weinstein nor enabled him to attack other women.

Both women testified that they did not want to come to court and were appearing under subpoena as witnesses for the defense, which continued its effort to show the jury flaws in six women’s accusations against Weinstein. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to predatory sexual assault, rape and criminal sex act.
