She was Harvey Weinstein's wife. Her career was destroyed because of it, but did she know what he was doing?
Georgina Chapman - was she treated fairly?

OP, honestly, I’m not sure people think of her much.
I do not know of anyone who personally blames her for her husband’s repugnance.
That said, I’ve personally wondered (years ago during #metoo), why ANYONE would actually marry that SOB, Weinstein, but she’s NOT responsible for his reprehensible behavior.
She shouldn’t have a problem re-marrying and/or re-launching her career.
Some of her dresses weren’t really my style, but she’s talented enough, or her people are.
I’ve not heard any bad will towards her.

Willful blindness is what I say. She married a powerful man who propped up her career and she accepted that assholery goes with the territory.
Now she's dating sex pest Adrian Brody, steadfast defender of Woody Allen and Roman Polansky. She's a phoney.

Was she a top designer when she married him? Cmon. I’m sure actresses wore her stuff out of pure kindness. Sure.
Not everyone has Camille Cosbys balls. But that doesn’t make them any better.

Harvey’s influence got her gowns and Marchesa on the map, that said she took all the right steps, divorcing him and distancing herself and children. Her company operates on the very outskirts of fame, perhaps for the best, the designs are gorgeous and understated, unlike some of the dreck nowadays.
I would put her in the same drawer as Coco Chanel, chumming with the Nazis and doing what she needed to do to keep her company afloat. Did Georgina know? Could she have done anything different? Knowing what an asshole he was, I’d say no, he had her pinned like a butterfly in a display. Also, young children as bargaining chips, no, just no.
I wouldn’t want to be in her pumps.

r1 She is responsible if she knew? Is it possible she was a dumb broad? Not likely.
But how Hollywood is treating her is the height of hypocrisy. . . it's also likely the same way she would have been treated if she had separated from him.
The rest are responsible, too, perhaps even more, when so many chose to be silent because of both the fear that it would hurt their careers or more so, as we can more verifiably point out becsause it helped...
and those great many, many, many people that redirected others his way. . . knowing to even just suspecting. There's enough cases to cite where there's reasonable expectation of suspected harm is enough to qualify and refusal to share said information, even just a gut feeling, unsubstantiated, if they're offering their recommendations, their seal of approval, to someone and said approval carries significant weight.
Which has incidentally been used to deal with house madams or procurers that supply girls to pimps or otherwise exploitative circumstances.. but outside of those type of scenes.. it's rarely used save when they can connect it to child grooming. And of course, far more different rules for hoyllwood. . . where contracts and legal ease are king, let alone the sociocultural scene.

Her "career" only existed because of it, as well.
The same influence that traded blowjobs for parts and awards also spread to stars wearing her clothes to get in good with him.
You've heard of the Apple ecosystem for products and services? Think of this as the Weinstein ecosystem that included blowjobs, movies, and clothes.

What's wrong with Adrien Brody?
While not drop dead gorgeous, he's nice enough looking and a decent actor with solid credits to his name. I mean, I wouldn't turn him down until after I got to know him and discovered that he's awful.

Yes, I knew about Harvey Weinstein a good two years before, and as a result my husband who didn't even know who Harvey Weinstein was, knew he was attacking women two years before. (and I know nothing). So yes, she owns it.

r23 the same to be said of his most vocal of victims, in that, they continued to introduce other young women to him.
So, I coul dsee from her perspective of feeling she paid her dues, she played the game the same as the rest of them and is being penalized for it while everyone tries to shift blame elsewhere.. she likely feels persecuted by what's literally her peers - in that the majority of these women knew the score. If it was just a few decades ago she might have been treated like Hillary and the bulk of the 'victims' treated in the same way as Monica Lewinsky.
Although, it's not far off... lately.
There's already an active undercurrent in reaction to Roe that believes the take down of Harvey was a rightwing conspiracy to take a hefty democratic donor out of play.
But as we see on the DL, they're just grasping at straws, are angry and need someone to scapegoat... or dream of the what ifs that could have prevented it.

It’s the Carmelo Soprano defense. They don’t “know” but they KNOW. They don’t question or raise concerns. They gratefully accept the largesse available to them (in Georgina’s cases, a fashion label and a role on a fashion TV show).

Yes. The brilliant scene in Sopranos when Carmela finally goes to a shrink and wants to justify staying married despite her concerns. At one point she makes a snide comment about paying him. He responds, "You're not listening. I'm not going to take your blood money. You need to take what's left of your children and leave the marriage."

Have told this story before.
A few months before the Harvey stuff went public, I walked by Georgina and children sitting at a sidewalk table at a swank restaurant in my hood. I turned the corner and a big SVU pulled to a stop and Harvey got out. He looked miserable to be heading to dinner with the family…. miserable.
Maybe the walls were already coming down. And maybe that’s how miserable their lives were generally.
And he was rude to his driver. What a prick.

OP, of course, she knew! You're too funny. These ladies make deals with the Devil to live among The Elite.
Also, Melinda Gates was well aware of what Bill was doing with his friend, Jeffrey Epstein. She divorced him because it became public knowledge. She wanted to save her own "brand" and perhaps limit the amount of Gates money given to victims eventually. Probably did this with Bill's blessing.
The Elite sees regular people as lower than dirt. Including kids.

No, she wasn't treated fairly. HW isn't the Jekyll & Hyde type of guy that could compartmentalize the various unsavory aspects of his personality. She should have received more blame because there's no fucking way she didn't know about his lecherous and predatory behavior given it was an open secret and the fact that she was MARRIED to him.

They have pretty elements, but never seem to fully work. Often they look like bridesmaid dresses.
