Harvey Weinstein has released a statement after Oscar-winner Adrien Brody mentioned his children in his on-stage speech.

Weinstein, 72, is a convicted sex offender that has been sentenced to spend 16 years behind bars for two counts of sexual assault and one count of rape, following a Los Angeles trial.

The former film producer was also sentenced to 23 years in prison for one further count of criminal sexual assault in the first degree and rape in the third degree after a trial in New York, though this conviction was overturned as he now faces a retrial.

Now, Weinstein is back in headlines following the events of the Oscars.

Adrien Brody walked away from the awards with his second Best Actor award, for his role in The Brutalist as László Tóth, an architect who goes to America to rebuild his life.

The win comes 12 years after his previous win in 2003 for his starring role in The Pianist.

When he was announced as winner this year, Brody was seen carrying out a gross act, tossing the gum in his mouth out, for his partner to catch it.

The actor was also involved in a bit of controversy on the red carpet, where Halle Berry planted a surprise kiss on him in front of his partner, Georgina Chapman, more than 20 years after he did the same to her on stage.

But in the 51-year-old's winning speech, while many complained about the length, a lot of viewers missed out on a key detail - he mentioned Weinstein's children.

Well technically, the children in question are also Chapman's, as the fashion designer was married to Weinstein for 10 years from 2007 to 2017.

Speaking on stage with his Oscar, Brody said: "I share this with my amazing partner Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth but my sense of value and my values and her beautiful children, Dash and India."

He then went on to reveal the nickname that Weinstein's children have for him, saying: "It's been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy's coming home a winner."

Weinstein's spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, responded by telling DailyMail.com: "Harvey is happy for Georgina and grateful that his kids are being loved and cared for as they deserve to be."

In October 2017, Chapman announced that she would be divorcing the film producer after over 100 women made accusations of rape, assault, or sexual harassment against him.

The divorce was finalised in 2021.

Weinstein became one of the focus points of the #MeToo movement, as he continues to deny that he raped or sexually assaulted anyone.

As for his overturned New York trial, after the rape and sexual assault allegations were overturned in April 2023, a retrial was announced.

It will take place on April 15, after the Court of Appeals determined that the original trial judge allowed testimony against Weinstein from women not part of the trial.
