We’ve heard about people who have been married to serial killers and never known about the crimes their spouses have committed, so maybe Georgina Chapman didn’t know about husband Harvey’s serial sexual abuse.

Chapman has kept a low profile since the news broke, and the last time we heard her name in the news it was to do with the whopping impending divorce settlement.

Rumoured to be around $11,25 million to $20 million, in case you were wondering.

Now Chapman has broken her silence, speaking to Vogue about life after Harvey, and if you’re into celeb life then this is right up your alley.

It being Vogue, there’s plenty of fashion talk and such:

In photographs, she has often reminded me of Victoria Beckham—chiseled and somewhat brittle-looking. But, today, dressed so California-casual, her hair now long and blonde, with wide-set blue eyes and fine features, she looks more like a younger Michelle Pfeiffer. Though she is English to her core, using whilst and learnt in a thick, posh accent, she is more goofy than I had imagined. As we sit down to lunch—a simple spread of veal Milanese and eggplant parmigiana—she seems a bit flustered, unable to maintain a hostess facade for too long, or even to decide where I should sit.

Ah yes, the simple veal Milanese and eggplant parmigiana lunch. Commoners.

Right, drama:

Our meeting, in her soon-to-be ex–town house that her soon-to-be ex-husband recently sold, was meant to be the moment when Chapman would finally, publicly address for the first time what happened. The night before, she had called me fairly late, and I thought she was going to back out. She sounded worried, apologizing profusely, talking fast. She was not ready to address anything too difficult, did not feel prepared. I reassured her that we could talk about her life before Harvey or about Marchesa [the fashion company she co-owns with Keren Craig]—which is exactly what we did at first.

Apparently, at some point they also went to the seashore:

I’ll skip ahead to this passage, which shows just how embarrassed and ashamed she is about human toad Harvey’s actions:

As our lunch is winding down, I ask, almost in passing, if Chapman really hadn’t been out in five months; she seems to shrink before my eyes as her mouth goes dry. “I was so humiliated and so broken . . . that . . . I, I, I . . . didn’t think it was respectful to go out,” she says. “I thought, Who am I to be parading around with all of this going on? It’s still so very, very raw. I was walking up the stairs the other day and I stopped; it was like all the air had been punched out of my lungs.”

I wonder if she kept up to date with all those horrific allegations from Harvey’s old personal assistants?

The interview is long, in-depth, and covers her entire relationship with Harvey from back when they first met.

If that’s your jam, you can go right ahead and read it here.

I’m still shook from that lunch order.
