HARVEY JURY’S OMGIGI

Model in peer pool

In a collision of celebrity tabloid stars and criminal justice that could only happen in the Big Apple, supermodel Gigi Hadid strolled into a Manhattan courtroom Monday to be considered as a juror in the sex-assault case of fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein.

The cat-walker (top inset), wearing an oversize men’s blazer over a white shirt, sauntered into the jury pool with 119 other prospective panelists from Manhattan on the fifth day of jury selection.

Justice James Burke asked the potential jurors, “Anyone believe you know me, the defendant or anyone of the lawyers?”

Hadid raised her hand.

The judge called on her, she stood up and identified herself as Jelena Hadid, her real first name.

“I have met the defendant,” she said.

With Weinstein (bottom inset) looking on from the defense table, Burke asked Hadid, “Do you think you can be a fair and impartial juror in this case?” “Yes,” replied Hadid. The judge then read a list of more than 80 names of potential witnesses and people who may be referenced during testimony, including actresses Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron and Rosie Perez.

He asked the would-be jurors whether anyone knew them. Hadid again raised her hand. “I have met Salma Hayek,” she said.

The judge questioned whether there was anything about having met them that would interfere with her ability to be fair in the case. “I think I’m still able to keep an open mind on the facts,” Hadid replied soberly.

After dozens of jurors were dismissed, Hadid remained behind to fill out a questionnaire. She was ordered to return next week to join other prescreened panelists, from which 12 jurors and six alternates will be selected.

Before letting the potential pool go, the judge addressed the fact that two prospective jurors were previously caught discussing the case on social media.

One of them was someone who tweeted that he was eager to secure a seat on the panel to promote his novel.

Weinstein is charged with two counts of predatory sex assault, two counts of rape and one count of criminal sex act based on the allegations of three women.

Opening arguments are slated to begin on Jan. 22.
