Shock Financial Twist: Harvey Weinstein’s Ex-Wife Georgina Chapman Now Facing Foreclosure on $2.5 Million NYC Apartment — What Went Wrong for the Glamorous Fashion Mogul?
In a stunning turn of events that’s left the fashion world reeling, Georgina Chapman—renowned fashion designer and ex-wife of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein—is facing foreclosure on her $2.5 million New York City apartment. The once-glamorous figure who graced red carpets and dressed A-list celebrities is now battling a very different kind of headline—one that could cost her the roof over her head.
According to legal filings, Chapman, co-founder of the luxury label Marchesa, defaulted on her mortgage in November 2024. The mortgage in question, secured in 2022 along with her brother Edward Chapman, required monthly payments of over $9,100, set to continue until 2052. But now, nearly a year of missed payments has triggered a formal foreclosure action that bluntly warns: “You are in danger of losing your home.”
The luxury condo, located in Manhattan, was once a symbol of Chapman’s high-profile status as one half of a Hollywood power couple. But since her split from Weinstein following the eruption of his criminal sexual abuse allegations in 2017, she’s been attempting to rebuild her life—both personally and professionally—under the intense glare of public scrutiny.
The legal action doesn’t stop with the mortgage. Earlier this year, the condo board also sued her for unpaid maintenance fees totaling nearly $8,000, adding further pressure to her financial woes. While the apartment was refinanced in 2022 after a prior loan was paid off, the quick default suggests deeper issues may be unfolding behind the scenes.
Industry insiders speculate that Marchesa, her fashion brand once beloved by Hollywood royalty, may be facing financial strain of its own. The label suffered a major blow following Weinstein’s downfall, as many celebrities distanced themselves from the brand due to its ties to the convicted producer. Multiple lawsuits and commercial rent issues related to the company have surfaced, painting a picture of mounting financial stress.
But what makes this situation even more jarring is the contrast between Chapman’s former life and her current legal battles. Once seen at the pinnacle of wealth and influence, she’s now navigating lawsuits, missed payments, and the looming loss of a multimillion-dollar property.
For someone once thought to be insulated by fame and fortune, the reality is clear: no one is immune to financial trouble—not even in the world of high fashion and celebrity pedigree.
It remains unclear whether Chapman will attempt to negotiate with the lender, refinance the property again, or let it go. What is certain, however, is that her carefully guarded privacy has once again been shattered—this time by court filings rather than paparazzi.
As the foreclosure process moves forward, the public is left to wonder: how did one of fashion’s brightest stars end up in this position—and can she recover before it’s too late?
