Harvey Weinstein's wife announces she is leaving him
2017-10-12
[CNN] As allegations of rape, abuse, and other forms of sexual misconduct against him mount, Harvey Weinstein's wife of a decade has announced she's leaving him.

Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman told People magazine in a statement on Tuesday that she was separating from Weinstein with whom she shares two young children.

"My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions," the statement read. "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."

Chapman has not responded to CNN requests for comment.

The announcement was made hours after an explosive New Yorker magazine story alleged that Weinstein had raped multiple women. The report also included new allegations of harassment and other improper behavior.

A spokeswoman for Weinstein denied the rape allegations in a statement provided to CNN.

"Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein," the statement read. "Mr. Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances."

#20  I heard a lady divorce lawyer comment "Of course she's leaving him. She needs to protect %50 of the money for herself." BTW the lawsuits have already started.

#18  I'm thinking he has some very interesting beans to spill in order to avoid going down.

#17  "and I ask the media for privacy at this time." because she doesn't want anyone asking what she knew and when she knew it.

Trophy wife found the perfect opportunity to cut the strings and take as much cash as her pre-nup would provide before her looks faded. Smart move.

#15  He is one ugly mofo! What's up with that herpes looking sore on his lip? He needs to shave, if that growth on his face is the best beard he can grow, he should just stop.

#14  #9 Alinsky Hollyweird to death. PC them to death. Don't stop, don't pause. Show them no mercy cause they've never shown you any. Crush them. Send them fleeing before you. Listen to the lamentations of their women.

#12  #3 Perhaps he and Woody Allen can compare notes over a scotch in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.

Maybe Roman Polanski will join them to reminisce about the good old days in Hollywood.

#11  "I have chosen to leave my husband."

Because now the prenup is invalidated.

James Carville was curiously unavailable for comment.

Twitter Suspends Account Of Weinstein Accuser Rose McGowan

Somebody is working O/T to put a blanket over this.

#7  The Missus believes the pos tried to diddle the wrong girl who, unbeknownst to ole' Harve, has "connected" family higher in the food chain than he.

That was the final straw that had been pushed to the edge over the past few years. When they lose fear of you in H-wood (see Seth McFarland Oscar joke), your days are numbered.

#6  They turned on the late Roger Ailes as well. Regardless of the compensation, obviously at some point there's an old geezer cut-off rule in effect.

#3  Weinstein is no longer part of the Hollywood "casting couch" joke circuit. Perhaps he and Woody Allen can compare notes over a scotch in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. I doubt Harvey will be coming back to the U.S. soon.
