Why Priyanka Chopra Wore A Dress By Harvey Weinstein’s Estranged Wife At Bridal Shower
Priyanka Chopra said that ‘it’s not (Georgina’s) fault’ and that wearing the dress was ‘the right choice.’
However, refusing to let criticism bog her down, Priyanka came out in support of Chapman, whose clothing line has been shunned by several actors since the allegations against Weinstein. Speaking to a Women’s Wear Daily, the actress said that she chose Marchesa to prove a point about women supporting women. She said that Chapman was her friend and that the accusations against Harvey were not her fault.
Calling Chapman a ‘self-made’ woman, the Quantico star said, “It’s not her fault. And I don’t think it’s right to take it out on a self-made woman what somebody in her life did.”
Many also came to her rescue and questioned why women were always questioned for the actions of other men.
