Speaking For Herself
Although some may have seen their defenses as noble, Johansson surely did not need anyone to speak for her. She released her own statement to E! News reaffirming her confidence in the decision, saying, “It is my pleasure to support a brand created by two incredibly talented and important designers.”
Leaving Weinstein Out Of It
However, there was one looming figure that Johansson strategically left out of her press release…Harvey Weinstein. She did imply that Chapman shouldn’t suffer for his actions. Of course, her kind words did help the company suffering since the fall of Weinstein. Johansson stated, “I wore Marchesa because their clothes make women feel confident and beautiful.”
