Who Is Harvey Weinstein’s Wife Georgina Chapman?

American film producer and film studio executive Harvey Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman unveiled her new line of wedding gowns in Manhattan amid her husband's sexual harassment scandal. A New York Times article published Thursday uncovered sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein by female assistants, executives, and actresses spanning decades.

Chapman married Weinstein in 2007 and on Thursday debuted her Marchesa Notte Bridal Fall 2018 line. A press release for Chapman's line calls her new gowns "a collection filled with timeless elements set against modern silhouettes and decadent embellishments."

The ongoing controversy surrounding her husband did not stop Chapman from postponing her line of new gowns.

Weinstein, who according to the Times has settled eight sexual harassment lawsuits with women accusing him of sexual misconduct, would be taking a leave of absence from his film production company. His legal team announced that they would pursue a $50-million lawsuit against Times for publishing their story about Weinstein's misdeeds.

In his first interview since the Times report, Weinstein spoke to the New York Post and said he “bears responsibility” for his past bad behavior, but also slammed the Times for “reckless reporting.”

"What I am saying is that I bear responsibility for my actions, but the reason I am suing is because of the Times’ inability to be honest with me, and their reckless reporting. They told me lies. They made assumptions," he said. "The Times had a deal with us that they would tell us about the people they had on the record in the story, so we could respond appropriately, but they didn’t live up to the bargain."

"The Times editors were so fearful they were going to be scooped by New York Magazine and they would lose the story, that they went ahead and posted the story filled with reckless reporting, and without checking all they had with me and my team," he added.

Weinstein said that the Times report was entirely based on a story on a 2014 memo written by employee Lauren O’Connor, who alleged sexual harassment and other misconduct by Weinstein.

He explained, “The Times used that entire memo as the basis of their story, but in reality, it was withdrawn two days after it was written, O’Connor withdrew her complaint, and withdrew her claims made in the memo. The document doesn’t stand up.”

Weinstein also said in the interview with the Post that his wife Chapman is supportive of him. “She stands 100 percent behind me. Georgina and I have talked about this at length,” Weinstein said. “We went out with [attorney] Lisa Bloom last night when we knew the article was coming out. Georgina will be with Lisa and others kicking my ass to be a better human being and to apologize to people for my bad behavior, to say I’m sorry, and to absolutely mean it.”

Among some of Weinstein's alleged victims are actresses Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan.

Weinstein told the Post, “I know Ashley Judd is going through a tough time right now, I read her book [her memoir “All That Is Bitter and Sweet”], in which she talks about being the victim of sexual abuse and depression as a child. Her life story was brutal, and I have to respect her. In a year from now, I am going to reach out to her.”

After the Times report was posted Thursday McGowan shared some cryptic messages on her Twitter account.
