Harvey Weinstein has expressed no resentment toward Adrien Brody, who is dating Georgina Chapman, Weinstein’s ex-wife, and whom Brody honored during his recent Oscar acceptance speech. The convicted producer spoke openly in a rare interview from prison, addressing whether Brody’s tribute during the 2025 Academy Awards affected him.
Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter,
“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.”
Statements of Support for Chapman and His Children
Weinstein’s remarks echoed sentiments he shared shortly after Brody’s speech at the Oscars, which took place in March 2025. A spokesperson for Weinstein communicated via email that
“Harvey is happy for Georgina and deeply grateful that his children are receiving the love and care they so rightly deserve.”
During the award ceremony, Brody dedicated part of his Best Actor acceptance speech for The Brutalist to Chapman, who accompanied him as his guest. He acknowledged her positive influence on his life and expressed gratitude for being part of her family.
Brody said,
“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,”
adding,
“And her beautiful children, Dash and India. I know it’s been a roller coaster, but, thank you for accepting me into your life. Popsy’s coming home a winner!”
Background on Weinstein and Chapman’s Relationship
Weinstein and Chapman were married for ten years but separated in 2017 after widespread reports began exposing Weinstein’s history of sexual misconduct involving multiple women. Their divorce was finalized in 2022. Although the former couple no longer communicate, Chapman has permitted Weinstein to maintain contact with their children.
He commented,
“She lets me see our children, which I am grateful for. I am sorry she got such a bad rap. She knew nothing about what I was doing. I was a master of deception.”
Weinstein also addressed the consequences Chapman faced regarding her fashion brand Marchesa. He stated,
“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!”
Weinstein’s Family Dynamics Beyond Chapman
Besides the children he shares with Chapman, Weinstein has three daughters from his earlier marriage to Eve Chilton. He revealed that he keeps in daily contact with his eldest daughter, but has been unable to communicate with the other two for several years.
“They haven’t talked to me for six years,”
he said, adding,
“They never respond. It’s been radio silence from them ever since the allegations started.”
Implications of the Public Remarks and Future Outlook
Weinstein’s public expressions of acceptance toward Brody’s relationship with Chapman and his children come amidst ongoing scrutiny surrounding his actions and their aftermath. His acknowledgement of Chapman’s struggles and status as a mother reveals a complex family situation marked by separation, legal battles, and reconciliation efforts centered on their children’s wellbeing. As Weinstein remains incarcerated, how these relationships evolve will continue to attract attention, especially given their ties to Hollywood’s shifting dynamics in the wake of his conviction.
