Harvey Weinstein Third Rape Trial Ends in Mistrial
Harvey Weinstein’s legal saga just keeps dragging on -- 'cause his third New York sex crimes trial ended in a mistrial Friday after jurors couldn’t agree on the rape charge.
The deadlocked jury couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict over claims Weinstein raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in a Manhattan hotel room back in 2013.
Weinstein has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty throughout the retrial ... while his lawyers argued the relationship was consensual.
The mistrial comes after Weinstein was already convicted last year of sexually abusing former production assistant Miriam Haley -- though he was cleared on another charge tied to former model Kaja Sokola.
Despite the courtroom chaos, Weinstein’s not going anywhere anytime soon -- he’s still serving a 16-year prison sentence at Rikers Island ... tied to his separate California rape conviction in 2022.

Pete Davidson & Elsie Hewitt Splitsville
Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have split after months of trying to work through relationship issues following the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose.
A source tells PEOPLE the former couple is still "working on things," explaining, "They want one another to succeed and be happy." Their source added the relationship has had ups and downs before, noting, "There are issues, but they're trying to figure things out together."
TMZ confirmed last month the pair had been dealing with a rough patch while adjusting to life as first-time parents. Our sources told us at the time they were facing challenges behind the scenes, but were attempting to figure things out together as their relationship headed in an uncertain direction.
Despite the breakup, our sources told us Pete and Elsie remain completely focused on coparenting their baby girl.
Pete and Elsie first got together in March 2025. We broke the news of their pregnancy that July. Their daughter's name holds special meaning for Pete ... Scottie was named after his late father, FDNY firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson, who died responding to the 9/11 attacks.
The couple frequently looked loved-up throughout the pregnancy, vacationing together and celebrating at a baby shower shortly before Scottie's birth, but it appears the pressures of new parenthood ultimately put strain on the relationship.
