Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer set her sights on another target — celebrity attorney Gloria Allred — on the fourth day of jury deliberations in Weinstein’s Manhattan rape trial Friday.

Before court began for the day, defense lawyer Donna Rotunno marched over to Allred, who was in the front row of the gallery, to chastise Allred for allegedly telling reporters that Rotunno had to attend a funeral over the weekend.

If there’s no verdict by 3 p.m. Friday, the jury will be stopping deliberations so that Rotunno can make the out-of-town funeral.

Rotunno’s words to Allred were inaudible to onlookers, but Allred, who represents three of Weinstein’s accusers, could be overheard going on the defensive.

“You are out of control! I did not say that!” Allred said. “Once again, you are distorting the facts!”

Weinstein’s co-counsel, Damon Cheronis, noticed the heated encounter and led Rotunno back to the defense table.

Once Justice James Burke took the bench, Rotunno made a record of her grievance.

She noted to the judge that the defense team is subject to a gag order but it doesn’t apply to the other parties.

“Miss Allred feels the need to go out on a daily basis to attack me, which is fine. She can attack me whenever she wants. However, she’s announcing to the media that I have to leave to attend a funeral,” Rotunno said. “I think it’s out of line and unprofessional.”

Rotunno added, “[Allred] doesn’t care that it’s wrong and it’s horrible behavior.”

The defense lawyer also raised a second issue: A prosecution witness and casting director, Marci Liroff, had tweeted about the case during deliberations.

After Weinstein accuser Mira Sorvino tweeted that Rotunno has a job to do but “we all have to answer to a higher power,” Liroff replied, “[Rotunno is] most certainly ‘cut from a different’ cloth than us. That’s being nice.”

“I think the government should at least have to notify the witnesses that tweeting while the jury is out is improper,” Rotunno told the judge of Liroff’s Feb. 19 tweet.

Judge Burke didn’t address Rotunno’s complaints, and the jury was summoned again into the courtroom to hear a read-back of the cross-examination of “The Sopranos” TV actress Annabella Sciorra.

The seven-man, five-woman panel is weighing Weinstein’s guilt on two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sex act and two counts of rape for which he faces up to life in prison.

The charges stem from the allegations of Sciorra, hairstylist Jessica Mann and “Project Runway” production assistant Mimi Haleyi. Allred represents Sciorra, Haleyi and “prior bad acts” witness Lauren Young.

Allred declined to comment on the dispute.
