The disgraced movie mogul and the Marchesa designer are legally divorced after the proceedings are finalized, roughly four years after their split following his sexual assault scandal.
- July 15, 2021
AceShowbiz - Harvey Weinstein and Georgina Chapman's divorce has been finalised.
A final, sealed motion was filed in the former couple's contested divorce case in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday (12Jul21), with online court records showing that the case is now "disposed" - meaning that the divorce decree has been signed by a judge and is therefore closed.
Attorneys for Marchesa designer Chapman and Weinstein, who is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York for rape and sexual assault, have yet to comment.
Chapman split from Weinstein in late 2017 after the father of her two kids was hit with a string of sexual misconduct allegations.
She started dating "The Pianist" star Adrien Brody in 2019, and the pair made their red carpet debut at New York's Tribeca Festival last month (Jun21).
The couple stepped out together for the Tribeca premiere of Brody's new crime thriller "Clean", smiling as they posed for the cameras.
When splitting from Georgina four years ago, Harvey Weinstein stated, "Over the last week, there has been a lot of pain for my family that I take responsibility for. I sat down with my wife Georgina, who I love more than anything, and we discussed what was best for our family. We discussed the possibility of a separation and I encouraged her to do what was in her heart. In the end, she made the decision to separate."
He is set to face 11 further criminal charges in Los Angeles after a judge approved plans for his extradition. He's accused of sexually assaulting five women in California over the course of a decade.
The movie mogul denied any wrongdoing, insisting all of his sexual encounters were consensual.
If convicted in Los Angeles, he faces 140 years to life in prison.
