Georgina Chapman was seen leaving her Manhattan home on Friday morning, marking the first time she has been seen in public since her husband’s decades of sexual harassment were revealed by The New York Times.
The Marchesa designer appeared morose but did manage to flash a smirk as she made her way out of the $15million townhouse she shares with Harvey Weinstein an hour after her husband headed off to work.
Weinstein exited the home on Friday carrying some papers under his arm and flashing a big smile as he made his way to the waiting SUV outside his home.
The embattled Hollywood heavyweight appeared surprisingly upbeat and chipper, especially given the fact that his board will be voting on Friday afternoon on whether or not to cut all ties to the founder and namesake of the company.
He is also facing new allegations of improper conduct, with British actress Jessica Hynes taking to Twitter on Friday and writing: ‘I was offered a film role at 19, Harvey Weinstein came on board and wanted me to screen test in a bikini. I refused & lost the job.’
She then added: ‘Im sure there are many more…’

Chapman, 41, did not comment on her way out of the home, heading off to her atelier ahead of her label’s bridal; presentation next week.
She stayed similarly silent on social media Thursday, opting to post photos of her bridal line rather than address the bombshell report in the Times, which will soon be followed by at least one more story in the New Yorker.
Weinstein played a big role in Chapman’s ascent in the fashion world, as the well-connected executive facilitated the relationships between his wife and stars like Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock.
And while Chapman may have been a bit down on Friday, her sartorial selections were, as usual, picture perfect.
Chapman paired strappy Valentino heels and a purse from the Italian brand with a jean jacket and skirt from Stella McCartney.
