Chapman, co-founder of the Marchesa fashion
label, told Vogue magazine in her first interview since the
scandal broke last October, "I lost ten pounds in five days. I
couldn’t keep food down."
The accusations against Weinstein were first reported by the New
York Times and New Yorker magazine.
"My head was spinning. And it was difficult because the first
article was about a time long before I’d ever met him, so there
was a minute where I couldn’t make an informed decision. And
then the stories expanded and I realized that this wasn’t an
isolated incident," the British designer said.
On the day the New Yorker report was published, Chapman
announced that she was leaving Weinstein, ending their 10-year
marriage. The couple are in divorce proceedings.
More than 70 women have accused the Hollywood producer of sexual
misconduct, including rape. Weinstein has denied engaging in
nonconsensual sex.
A representative for Weinstein declined to comment on Chapman's
interview. Chapman's representative said the designer had
nothing to add.
Looking back, Chapman told Vogue, "I have moments of rage, I
have moments of confusion, I have moments of disbelief. And I
have moments when I just cry for my children."
Marchesa was once one of the biggest fashion brands on red
carpets at the Oscars and other celebrity events, but few
celebrities have worn the label in the past eight months.
