Lindsay Lohan said she felt "very bad" for Harvey Weinstein and implored his wife Georgina Chapman (who is reportedly leaving him) to "be there for her husband" in a pair of now-deleted Instagram videos.

"I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now, I don't think it's right what's going on," Lohan said. "I think Georgina needs to take a stand and be there for her husband."
"He's never harmed me or did anything to me, we've done several movies together," she continued. Lohan starred in Bobby and Scary Movie 5, both of which were distributed by The Weinstein Company. "I think everyone needs to stop. I think it's wrong. So stand up."
Multiple women have come forward in recent days to say that Weinstein sexually harassed, sexually abused or raped them over the last three decades. That list includes stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Heather Graham, Asia Argento, Rosanna Arquette, as well as actresses Katherine Kendall, Judith Godrèche and former actresses Tomi-Ann Roberts and Dawn Dunning.
Fashion designer Georgina Chapman announced yesterday that she was leaving Weinstein: "My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time."
