In an exclusive interview from Rikers Island, Harvey Weinstein expressed his well-wishes for his ex-wife, Georgina Chapman, who has found happiness with actor Adrien Brody. This marks Weinstein’s first significant conversation since he was transferred to the maximum-security facility, where he is serving a 16-year sentence stemming from sex crimes convictions in California.

Weinstein, now 73 years old, acknowledged how his actions had impacted his family during his conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. He shared his happiness regarding Brody’s relationship with Chapman, stating, “It’s good that my kids have someone in their lives.” He reflected on the emotional pain his ex-wife experienced due to the fallout from his actions, admitting, “Georgina suffered terribly because of me.” The former couple shares two children: 15-year-old India and 12-year-old Dashiell.
Chapman and Weinstein had been married from 2007 until 2021, separating in 2017 after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against him. Despite their separation, Weinstein noted that Chapman allows him to see their children, signifying a commitment to co-parenting despite the difficult circumstances that led to their split.
In the wake of the allegations against Weinstein, Chapman faced her own challenges in the fashion industry. Weinstein described how the scandal affected her professional relationships, stating, “Many women whom she dressed so beautifully dropped her immediately after the allegations became public.” He expressed remorse for the negative impact his actions had on her career, asserting that she was unaware of the misconduct that occurred during their marriage, describing himself as “a master of deception.”
The situation took an interesting turn when Adrien Brody delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech after winning the Oscar for Best Actor in 2025. During his address, Brody thanked Chapman and her children for their acceptance of him into their lives. Weinstein reacted positively to Brody’s remarks, saying that he was “happy” for them, and noted that his children deserve love and care.
Brody and Chapman were first reported to be dating in 2019, with their relationship officially confirmed by PEOPLE in February 2020. Since then, the couple has reportedly grown closer, and Brody has become a significant presence in the lives of Chapman’s children. In his award speech, Brody praised Chapman, highlighting the positive impact she has had on his self-worth and values.
Despite the painful history between Weinstein and Chapman, he appeared to acknowledge the resilience and strength she has displayed in moving on. “I am sorry she got such a bad rap,” he said, referring to the public backlash Chapman faced following his scandal. He emphasised that it was unjust for her to receive criticism for events beyond her control and sought to distance her from the darker aspects of his past.
While Weinstein may express remorse and wish happiness for Chapman, his future remains uncertain. He has faced multiple legal challenges since his convictions in 2022, including a retrial concerning a criminal sexual act involving actress Jessica Mann. His legal battles continue, overshadowing any potential reconciliation or personal growth during his time in prison.
As the complexities of their previous relationship continue to unfold, Chapman seems to have found a new chapter with Brody, while Weinstein comes to terms with the consequences of his actions—not only for himself but also for the family he left behind.
The unfolding narrative around these individuals remains compelling, reflecting a myriad of emotions, including regret, resilience, and the ongoing quest for redemption amidst a backdrop of personal and professional turmoil.
