During his acceptance speech, Brody expressed gratitude to Chapman and her two children, Dash and India, whom she shares with Weinstein.

"It's been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy's coming home a winner.”

Harvey Weinstein Remains Behind Bars

Chapman, who divorced Weinstein in 2017 following the revelations of his sexual abuse allegations, has remained largely out of the spotlight since. Her split from Weinstein came as the #MeToo movement gained momentum, with numerous women accusing the former film mogul of rape, sexual assault, and harassment.

Weinstein, who has always denied all allegations of non-consensual sex, saw his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges overturned last April. He is currently awaiting a new trial.

Adding to his legal woes, Weinstein's health has been deteriorating. In October, reports emerged that he was being treated for chronic myeloid leukemia at Rikers Island.

Over the summer, he was hospitalized multiple times for a variety of health issues, including COVID-19, double pneumonia, and complications requiring fluid to be removed from his heart and lungs.

Engelmayer noted that Weinstein is "fighting for his health and healthcare" and that it is "challenging where he is and not in the hospital where he should be."

The former Hollywood power player is currently serving a 16-year sentence in California for a separate conviction, with his retrial in New York set to begin soon.

Brody’s post, alongside Weinstein’s response, has left fans speculating about the deeper meaning behind the actor’s cryptic words and whether there is more to the story than meets the eye.
