Harvey Weinstein's Wife Georgina Chapman Is Leaving Him: 'My Heart Breaks for All the Women Who Have Suffered'

http://people.com/movies/harvey-weinstein-wife-georgina-chapman-separating/


Harvey Weinstein’s wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, is leaving him — as more women continue to step forward to accuse the movie mogul of decades of sexual harassment and assault.

Weinstein, 65, and Chapman, 41, married in 2007 and have two children together — India Pearl, 7, and Dashiell Max Robert, 4.

“My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time,” Chapman says in a statement to PEOPLE.

There are plans for Weinstein to enter a treatment facility — but the mogul, who has been staying at a Los Angeles hotel, has not left yet, according to a source.

1. 3 more victims

2. This treatment facility crap

Is crap. I guess he could do sex offender treatment?? I've got some nice cognitive behavioral books for that.

But in reality - he's going to go to a spa with a therapist.

Please.

Frankly, he needs to cut the crap - no means no (pretty easy stuff........).

(This is coming from a therapist/MSW btw).

3. Weinstein needs to go to jail - forget this therapy crap

Why were there no charges against this guy all these years?

Men and women working in Hollywood knew this guy was molesting young women and possibly underage girls. And yet they allowed their own daughters to work for him? They never said anything when this serial predator did exactly what they knew he would to their own daughters?

[mythology]

5. To the best of my knowledge there is no accusation about underage girls, that seems

to be pure speculation on your part.

But the rest, it would require somebody coming forward with a claim within the statute of limitations. There was an attempt to charge him in 2015, but the DA's office says it's the NYPD's fault and the NYPD says it's the DA's fault. Sexual harassment of the sort Weinstein has admitted to isn't necessarily criminal. Asking a random woman to give you a naked massage or watch you shower, while gross, isn't actually a crime. A victim who went through with it would have to come forward. But for many perfectly legitimate reasons, a victim of a sexual assault might not feel comfortable coming forward. For those who reached a settlement with Weinstein, those have confidentiality agreements, they can't then use that in a criminal proceeding.

10. Is it that sex offender seems to suggest that the offenses are underaged girls?

My sense is (and this is not my specialty) that it's just a different typology - that is, who they victimize (children vs. adults). But the use of the word sex offender is okay broadly speaking (from a clinical sense) - given what I've heard about his actions.

IDK about legal sense. (It sounds like you know more about that that I). He's not been convicted as an offender............so

I guess he's suggesting that his error was a 'forceful' or sexist (?) come-on. That he needs re-education on how to....um, approach a modern woman? (Or some such crap

I guess that still puts him at the 1000/day spa with yoga, horse therapy, and a continental breakfast.

13. Most were in their early 20's - Paltrow was 22

At least some of the actresses he's hired over the years have been younger than 18. So there haven't been any charges made, but how does it sound to you? I say where there's smoke there's fire.

My point is that Gwynneth Paltrow's mother and father both worked in Hollywood. Do you think they never heard any rumors about Harvey Weinstein? And yet their own daughter had to go through this because they didn't protect her. Mira Sorvino and Angelina Jolie both had parents in the movie industry. I'm sure this is the tip of the iceberg. The guy is a serial predator.

18. I agree, something is very wrong with the entire scenario

the journalists need to keep digging

[uponit7771]

7. Why is he not in jail !? Fuck a facility and shit, dude looks like he assaulted people ...

... multiple times.

[BigmanPigman]

4. He should be in the cell next to Anthony Weiner.

I wish her luck and I hope the media will leave her and their kids alone.

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[coolsandy]

9. 45 should have a cell next to both of them.

He has as many women making allegations about him but they are all swept under the bloody rug.

[oberliner]

11. She is a very high profile fashion designer

In some circles, more famous than him.

[Blue_Tires]

6. She isn't making any great principled stand

by jumping ship when water's already up to the deck

[Blue_true]

12. So, you are blaming the woman?

How about she got fucking blindsided by someone that she trusted earlier and now see evidence against him coming out?

[LittleBlue]

14. She knew. They all knew.

I don't buy that all of these people were clueless despite it being so well known. Rumors had been flying outside Hollywood for decades about this guy. Blind items connected him to numerous victims. She didn't know, and all these well-connected Hollywood actors, actresses and producers didn't know? Come on.

[bluepen]

15. Would not surprise me one bit. Powerful people surround

themselves with people who are more than willing to be enablers.

[LittleBlue]

16. Yep. Hearing that Crowe and Damon sided with him makes my skin crawl.

I honestly thought those two were good guys in Hollywood. Can't trust anyone who would defend this piece of excrement.

[Skittles]

17. she had no idea

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
