The magazine reports that Chapman always knew of Weinstein's "questionable behavior" and was pressured by friends to leave him because "they thought it would ruin her brand."
On Oct. 10, Chapman issued this statement: “My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time."
