The wife of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, Georgina Chapman has issued a statement confirming that she is leaving her current husband in the wake of numerous claims of sex scandals against the star.
According to reports in the US, Ms Chapman who has two children with Weinstein reportedly confirmed that she has left her husband following the claims.
In a statement which was published by People Magazine, Ms Chapman said: “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.”
The latest revelation has come as a surprise to many in the entertainment world as previous reports by Weinstein himself stated that his wife was 100% behind him in regards to the allegations that has seen up to 13 women accuse him of sexual assault or harassment.
Weinstein is alleged to have committed the offences over the past 20 years dating as far back as the early 90s. In wake of the recent scandal the well known producer was also fired from his own company who say Weinstein’s misconduct violated the company’s policy and terms of ethics.
