Georgina Chapman, the creative force behind the fashion label Marchesa and former spouse of Harvey Weinstein, might soon be facing the loss of her New York City residence.
According to Real Deal, Chapman is entangled in a foreclosure lawsuit concerning her two-bedroom property located at 99 Jane Street in the West Village.
The designer, who is currently in a relationship with actor Adrien Brody, initially purchased the apartment outright in 2009, spending $1.7 million.
Over the years, Chapman and her brother, Edward Chapman—CEO of the luxury fashion house Marchesa—have refinanced the property twice.
Their financial troubles began when they failed to meet the mortgage obligations with CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC, in November 2024, as reported by the outlet.
Reports suggest that Chapman now has an outstanding debt of the original $2.5 million loan, along with accruing interest and late fees.
The condo board at 99 Jane is also suing Chapman and her brother for more than $7,000 in unpaid common charges and dues. The building boasts a gym and outdoor gardens.
And there’s more money trouble for Chapman.

Marchesa is also floundering.
The Better Business Bureau complaints section is flooded with complaints from customers who returned items but didn’t get refunds.
‘Wow! Like everyone else here. I purchased a dress and returned for refund. It was accepted in December and I have emailed them and called more than a dozen times with NO RESPONSE! No refund!’ one wrote.
Another said: ‘Don’t buy from Marchesa! I am having the same issues as the customers below. I placed an order, and I’ve been trying to return the unworn dress which was too big. 4 months later they finally replied with the return label. I sent back the dress and no refund has been credited to my account. Therefore, no dress no money.’
In 2017, Chapman announced her split from Weinstein, who she married in 2007. In 2021, their divorce was finalized.
Weinstein was convicted of third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual assault and sentenced to 23 years in prison.
In June, a judge declared a mistrial on another third-degree rape charge after jurors became unable to reach a verdict due to internal conflict.

Speaking in 2018, shortly after separating from the producer, Chapman said she had moments of rage about her then estranged husband’s behavior and cried for the couple’s two children

Weinstein will be tried for a third time later this year by New York prosecutors in that sexual assault case.
‘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,’ Chapman said in a 2017 statement.
While the divorce was filed anonymously in New York Supreme Court, the Los Angeles Times reports Chapman’s payout was between $15 and $20 million.
In 2024, a billionaire Bruce Karsh bought Chapman and Weinstein’s West Village townhouse at 13 Bank St. for $25.62 million.
Chapman and Brody have been together since 2020.
The actor thanked her when he won the Oscar for The Brutalist in February.
