Harvey Weinstein reacts to Adrien Brody talking about his children in Oscars speech

Harvey Weinstein and Adrien Brody

Adrien Brody’s recent Oscar win for Best Actor at the 2025 Academy Awards sparked discussions beyond his stellar performance in The Brutalist. His acceptance speech took an emotional turn when he expressed gratitude to his partner, Georgina Chapman, and mentioned her children, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Harvey Weinstein.

Brody’s heartfelt words about his relationship with Chapman and her kids, India and Dashiell, resonated widely.

During his speech, Brody acknowledged Chapman for rejuvenating his self-worth and values, emphasizing the love and warmth he has received from her and her children. He revealed that the kids affectionately call him “Popsy” and shared how meaningful it was to be embraced into their lives. His words painted a picture of a man deeply appreciative of his newfound family and the joy it brings him.

Weinstein, currently serving a lengthy prison sentence at Rikers Island, also reacted to Brody’s speech. Through his representative, he conveyed his happiness for Chapman and his gratitude that their children are being well cared for. Given Weinstein’s past controversies and convictions, his response is being viewed in different lights—some see it as a rare moment of humility, while others perceive it as a strategic statement.

Brody’s public acknowledgment of his relationship with Chapman, a celebrated fashion designer and co-founder of Marchesa, signifies a new chapter for both of them. Their relationship became public in 2020 after Chapman’s highly publicized divorce from Weinstein. Since then, the couple has maintained a relatively low profile, but Brody’s Oscars speech brought their bond into the spotlight.

As the entertainment world reacts to this moment, it remains to be seen how Weinstein’s comments will be received in the long run. Meanwhile, Brody’s win and his emotional words have cemented his place as both a celebrated actor and a devoted partner.
