Harvey Weinstein Responds to Adrien Brody's Oscars Speech Mentioning Children

Adrien Brody made headlines at the 2025 Academy Awards after winning Best Actor for his role in 'The Brutalist' and delivering a heartfelt acceptance speech that included references to his partner Georgina Chapman and her two children. Brody expressed gratitude for their acceptance of him, stating, 'Popsy’s coming home a winner,' which drew attention on social media for its emotional resonance. In response, Harvey Weinstein, currently imprisoned and awaiting a retrial for sexual assault, praised Brody's care for his children through a representative, although some industry insiders criticized Weinstein's comments as a calculated public relations move ahead of his trial. Brody's lengthy speech, which set a record at the Oscars, also addressed the fragility of acting and the importance of perspective in his career. The backdrop of this moment is the complex history between Brody, Chapman, and Weinstein, who divorced in 2021 amid numerous allegations against him, following the emergence of the #MeToo movement. As Weinstein faces ongoing legal challenges and health issues, Brody's recognition at the Oscars highlights the intertwining personal and professional narratives surrounding them.
