In the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment and assault scandal, his wife Georgina Chapman announced last week that she’s divorcing him after ten years of marriage. “My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions,” she said in a statement. Some, however, wonder how little — or how much — Georgina knew of her husband’s behavior behind closed doors.

“Their relationship started out with the understanding that if you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours,” a source close to the couple told People magazine. Georgina founded the fashion label Marchesa in 2004, and Harvey used his clout in the film industry to get famous celebs to wear her designs.

However, according to the source, Georgina had no idea about her husband’s alleged sexual misconduct. “She never would have stayed married if she’d known,” the source claimed. “She was never with Harvey when he behaved like this.”
