A friend of Harvey Weinstein rape accuser Jessica Mann testified Tuesday that the then-aspiring actress was “friendly” with the fallen movie mogul on the day she claims Weinstein raped her at a Midtown hotel.

Mann, 34, testified last month that her pal Thomas Richards Lozano had been staying at the DoubleTree Hotel with her on March 18, 2013 — the day she alleges that Weinstein took her up to a room he rented and brutally raped her.

After the alleged sex attack, Mann said that she had a breakfast — which had already been organized — with Weinstein, Richards Lozano and her former pal Talita Maia at the hotel.

Richards Lozano, 47, a witness called for the defense, told the Manhattan Supreme Court jury that Mann and Weinstein had been “friendly” with each other that morning, and said that Mann had asked him “if it was OK if she didn’t travel back with me to Los Angeles.”

He testified that Weinstein “invited [Mann] at the table to stay an extra night” — and that the last time he saw Mann that morning, she appeared “normal” and like “her everyday self.”

When asked by defense lawyer Arthur Aidala whether there was “any indication” that Mann was in “any way in distress” during the roughly 45-minute breakfast, Richards Lozano responded, “No.

Richards Lozano — who has worked as an agent in the entertainment industry for nearly two decades, but never represented Mann — said he met Mann at an industry party in 2010 and maintained a “friendly” relationship with her for years.

Lozano, who was subpoenaed to testify, said that in 2013, one of his clients offered him and a guest a trip to the Big Apple to see the Broadway show “Wicked,” and he wound up taking Mann. They stayed at the DoubleTree Hotel.

He said Mann told him about a breakfast they were going to have with Weinstein at the café in the hotel lobby.

Mann previously testified that Weinstein showed up early that morning and called for her downstairs, where she saw him booking a room.

“Then I really freak out,” Mann testified, and added that she told Weinstein, “We don’t need a room.”

Weinstein then took her up to the hotel room, where, Mann said, she “attempted twice to open the door and leave and he blocked the door both times.”

“Then he came out naked and he got on top of me and that’s when he put himself inside of me, his penis inside of me,” Mann claimed.

Following the alleged attack, she said, she “ran into the bathroom,” where she saw in the trash a syringe for an erection-inducing drug.

Shortly after, Mann and Weinstein went downstairs, where they had breakfast with Richards Lozano and Maia, Mann previously testified.

Under cross-examination by Assistant DA Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, Richards Lozano admitted that he had been “a little” tired on the morning of the breakfast following a night of bar-hopping in the Big Apple and that he did not remember seeing Mann’s friend in the hotel that day.

When asked by Illuzzi-Orbon whether Weinstein invited Mann to stay at the hotel, Richards Lozano said, “He said he would take care of everything … there was no mention it would be that same hotel.”

Mann had tearfully testified that she did not tell Richards Lozano and Maia about the alleged rape because “I was so embarrassed.”

“I was pretty shut down,” Mann testified as she described her state during the breakfast.

On Monday, the defense team for the once-powerful “Pulp Fiction” and “Shakespeare in Love” producer called Maia to the witness stand, and she testified that Mann had repeatedly called Weinstein her “spiritual soulmate.”

The defense rested its case in the landmark #MeToo-era trial later Tuesday.

The charges against Weinstein in the case stem from alleged sex assaults involving Mann, “The Sopranos” actress Annabella Sciorra and former production assistant Miriam “Mimi” Haleyi.

The disgraced Hollywood titan has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
