Chapman continues to lead her fashion brand Marchesa and has gotten the support of prominent Hollywood figures likeScarlett JohanssonandPriyanka Chopra Jonas, who haveboth worn Marchesa designson the red carpet in the wake of the scandal. She started the brand in 2004.
The designerspoke out for the first timeabout the allegations against her ex in a May 2018Vogueinterview, seven months after the scandal first broke.
“There was a part of me that was terribly naive — clearly,sonaive. I have moments of rage, I have moments of confusion, I have moments of disbelief,” she said. “And I have moments when I just cry for my children. What are their lives going to be? What are people going to say to them? It’s like, theylovetheir dad. They love him. I just can’t bear it for them.”
Chapman told the magazine she “never” knew of Weinstein’s alleged behavior, making the revelations more shocking.
“That’s what makes this so incredibly painful: I had what I thought was a very happy marriage. I loved my life,” she said. “I was so humiliated and so broken… that… I, I, I… didn’t think it wasrespectfulto go out.”
She continued, “I thought, ‘Who am I to be parading around with all of this going on?’ It’s still so very, very raw. I was walking up the stairs the other day and I stopped; it was like all the air had been punched out of my lungs.”
