Harvey Weinstein, once one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers and now an inmate at Rikers Island, has broken his silence about his ex-wife Georgina Chapman’s new life with actor Adrien Brody. In a rare interview from prison, Weinstein spoke candidly about the pain he caused Chapman, her resilience in the aftermath of his downfall, and his surprising support for her relationship with Brody—a romance that has become one of Hollywood’s more unexpected second acts.
Weinstein, who is currently serving time for sex crimes after being convicted in a scandal that rocked the entertainment industry and fueled the global #MeToo movement, told The Hollywood Reporter that he feels genuine happiness for Chapman’s new chapter. When asked about Brody’s emotional Oscar speech in 2025, in which the actor thanked Chapman and her children for welcoming him into their lives, Weinstein replied, “No! I was happy. It’s good that my kids have someone in their lives. And Georgina suffered terribly because of me. I’m glad she’s finally found some happiness.” According to People and IBTimes, Weinstein’s tone was not bitter, but rather laced with remorse and a sense of relief that his children—India, now 15, and Dashiell, 12—have found stability with Brody in their lives.
Chapman’s journey since the public collapse of her marriage has been anything but easy. As co-founder of the luxury fashion label Marchesa, she was once a fixture on red carpets, often seen arm-in-arm with Weinstein at premieres and awards shows. Their 2007 Connecticut wedding made headlines, and for years, they were considered one of Hollywood’s power couples. But in October 2017, everything changed. Investigative reports published by major outlets exposed Weinstein’s decades-long pattern of sexual harassment, assault, and rape—allegations that eventually saw more than 80 women come forward with their own stories, as detailed by People.
Chapman’s response was swift and decisive. She announced her separation from Weinstein almost immediately after the allegations became public, and their divorce was finalized in July 2021. But the fallout was far-reaching. As Weinstein recounted to The Hollywood Reporter, Chapman’s career suffered collateral damage: “I am sorry she got such a bad rap. She knew nothing about what I was doing. I was a master of deception. To punish her company is an act of insanity. All those women she dressed so beautifully abandoned her overnight. Have some courage, for God’s sake!”
Despite the rupture in their relationship—and the fact that they no longer speak—Chapman has allowed Weinstein continued access to their children. “She lets me see our children, which I am grateful for,” he said, emphasizing his appreciation for the opportunity to remain a part of their lives even as he serves his sentence. According to IBTimes, Weinstein made it clear that Chapman was never involved in his wrongdoings and should not be blamed for his actions.
For Chapman, the years following the scandal were marked by a retreat from the spotlight as she focused on raising India and Dashiell and rebuilding her life. But in 2019, rumors began swirling about a new romance: Chapman and Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody were spotted together at the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton in Puerto Rico, attending the launch of Helena Christensen’s swimwear line. By 2020, their relationship was official, and they made their red carpet debut as a couple in June 2021 at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Brody’s film Clean. Later that year, they appeared together at both the Met Gala and the Cannes Film Festival, signaling that Chapman was ready to step back into public life—this time, on her own terms.
Brody, best known for his Oscar-winning role in The Pianist, has been effusive in his praise for Chapman. At the 2025 Golden Globes, he paid tribute to her in his acceptance speech: “To my beautiful and amazing partner Georgina, your generosity of spirit, your own resilience, your immense creativity are a daily reminder of how to be. I would not be standing here before you if it wasn’t for you.” Brody’s words, reported by IBTimes, highlighted not just his affection for Chapman, but also the strength she has shown in the face of extraordinary adversity.
Their bond was on further display at the 2025 Oscars, where Brody won Best Actor for The Brutalist. On stage, he became emotional as he credited Chapman and her children for their support: “I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth but my sense of value and my values, and her beautiful children, Dash and India. It’s been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy’s coming home a winner!” The affectionate nickname “Popsy” used by India and Dashiell was a touching detail that resonated with viewers and underscored the close-knit family unit that Chapman, Brody, and the children have built together.
While Weinstein’s crimes cast a long shadow over both his and Chapman’s lives, his recent remarks from prison suggest a degree of acceptance, if not peace, with the new reality. He openly admitted to being a “master of deception” and expressed deep regret for the pain he caused Chapman and the impact on her professional life. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he insisted that Chapman “knew nothing about what I was doing,” and he criticized those in the fashion industry who turned their backs on her in the wake of his scandal. “To punish her company is an act of insanity,” he said, calling for more courage and fairness from his former peers and clients.
Chapman’s resilience and Brody’s unwavering support have been central to her ability to move forward. Their relationship, while initially the subject of tabloid speculation, has evolved into a genuine partnership celebrated both privately and publicly. Brody’s willingness to embrace Chapman’s children and integrate into their lives has not gone unnoticed, either by Chapman or by Weinstein himself, who, despite everything, expressed gratitude that his children have found another positive figure in their lives.
For many observers, the story of Georgina Chapman and Adrien Brody is one of survival, renewal, and the complexity of forgiveness. Chapman’s ability to carve out a new identity and find happiness after such public trauma is a testament to her strength—a quality Brody has repeatedly celebrated. And while Weinstein remains behind bars, his recent comments reveal a man resigned to his fate, regretful of his actions, and, perhaps surprisingly, supportive of the new family dynamic that has emerged in his absence.
As the dust settles on one of Hollywood’s most notorious scandals, the lives of those left in its wake continue to unfold—sometimes painfully, sometimes beautifully, but always with the hope of healing and new beginnings.
