In a soft voice that at times couldn’t be heard by lawyers or jurors, the woman behind the $ 21.5 million lawsuit said she was intoxicated and felt like she had been drugged after a visit to Rose’s mansion in Beverly Hills in August 2013. As she began to connect a night of drinking at Rose’s place on Aug. 26, 2013, with the disputed incident early the next morning at her apartment, she took a long pause in her testimony and wept quietly, hiding her face behind a computer screen at the witness stand. Rose’s lawyer used a string of text messages as a timeline to question the woman’s story and whether she even drank enough to black out hours later.
