Disgraced former film mogul Harvey Weinstein has weighed in on Adrien Brody name-dropping his ex-wife and children during Sunday’s Oscars, saying he’s “grateful” they’re being cared for. “Harvey is happy for Georgina and grateful that his kids are being loved and cared for as they deserve to be,” a rep for Weinstein told the New York Post. Brody, who won Best Actor for his role in The Brutalist on Sunday, ran five minutes over the Academy’s 45-second speech limit, giving a shoutout to his partner, Georgina Chapman, and her children: “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 and her beautiful children, Dash and India.” Chapman and Weinstein were married from 2007 to 2017 and share two children, born in 2010 and 2013. The fashion designer and actress filed for divorce when dozens of women came forward with allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Weinstein, 72, has been locked up at Rikers Island since 2020 after being sentenced to 23 years for rape and sexual assault, in a conviction that has since been overturned. He was reportedly diagnosed with bone marrow cancer last year and is undergoing treatment behind bars.
