Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood powerhouse now serving time for sex crimes, has expressed his feelings about actor Adrien Brody stepping into a paternal role for the children he shares with ex-wife Georgina Chapman.

Weinstein, 73, is currently incarcerated at New York’s Rikers Island. He is serving a 16-year sentence following his 2022 conviction on charges of sexual misconduct in California.

Chapman, 49, ended their decade-long marriage in 2017 after explosive reports by The New York Times revealed numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against Weinstein.

The former couple’s divorce was finalized in 2021, and they are parents to two children: daughter India Pearl, 15, and son Dashiell Max Robert, 12.

Since 2019, Chapman has been in a relationship with Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, now 52, who has embraced a father-like role for her children while Weinstein is incarcerated.

In a surprising moment during his Oscars acceptance speech last year, Brody shared that India and Dashiell affectionately call him ‘Popsy.’

And in a new interview, Weinstein insisted to The Hollywood Reporter that he is ‘happy’ Brody has stepped up for his children.

‘No! I was happy. It’s good that my kids have someone in their lives,’ said Weinstein when asked if he was upset by Brody’s mention of his kids on stage at the Oscars.

‘And Georgina suffered terribly because of me. I’m glad she’s finally found some happiness.’

While Chapman is no longer on speaking terms with Weinstein, he claimed that the designer still allows him to see their children.

Weinstein also spoke about Chapman and her luxury fashion label Marchesa being ‘punished’ by Hollywood after the allegations against him were made public nearly a decade ago.

He said that many of the A-list actresses, who his ex-wife ‘dressed so beautifully’ for years, stopped wearing her designs in the aftermath.

‘I am sorry she got such a bad rap,’ Weinstein said. ‘She knew nothing about what I was doing.

‘I was a master of deception. To punish her company is an act of insanity.’

This is not the first time that Weinstein has spoken on Brody’s life with Chapman or the presence of the actor in his children’s lives.

Weinstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer provided an exclusive statement to the Daily Mail last year in wake of Brody’s Oscars speech.

While accepting Best Actor for his performance in the Brutalist at the 2025 ceremony, Brody notably thanked girlfriend Chapman and her two children with Weinstein.

‘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,’ he said.

Revealing the nickname Weinstein’s children have for him, he added: ‘It’s been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy’s coming home a winner.’ 

When approached for comment, Weinstein’s representative Engelmayer told the Daily Mail that ‘Harvey is happy for Georgina and grateful that his kids are being loved and cared for as they deserve to be.’

Once a Hollywood heavy-hitter, Weinstein became a symbol of sexual misconduct after media reports revealed allegations against him in 2017.

In total, some 60 women came forward with harrowing allegations against the producer and he was convicted of various sex crimes in both New York and California.

Weinstein has denied that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone. 

He is currently serving a 16-year sentence for his California rape conviction while awaiting a third Manhattan trial later this year to resolve a remaining rape charge from his 2025 New York retrial.

Weinstein is currently battling a litany of health woes, including cancer, diabetes, spinal stenosis and a possible immune system problem.

Prior to meeting Brody in 2019, a source told PageSix last year that Chapman was in ‘really dark, awful place’ at the time following the breakdown of her marriage to Weinstein.

She and Brody first became acquainted at an event at the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico in April 2019, which she allegedly attended after being urged by her pals to ‘get out of the house’ after isolating herself at home amid the Weinstein fallout.

The duo hit it off and officially began dating just months later. 

Now having been together for over five years, PageSix’s source said Chapman and Brody have ‘absolutely been there for each other through highs and lows.’

They added that Chapman’s relationship with Brody is ‘much more different’ than the one she had with ex Weinstein. ‘She and Adrien feel more like partners.’
