Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife, designer Georgina Chapman, is speaking out in a tearful interview in Vogue magazine.
She says she never knew of her husband's alleged misconduct, and weeps for their two small children.
Chapman says she thought she had been in a happy marriage, but was "clearly, so naive."
"I was so humiliated and so broken...that...I, I, I...didn't think it was respectful to go out," she said.
"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."
After the news broke of Weinsteins conduct towards numerous actresses and women in Hollywood circles, Ms Chapman said she was in utter disbelief, because he was never like that at home.
"My head was spinning. And it was difficult because the first article was about a time long before I'd ever met him, so there was a minute where I couldn't make an informed decision," she said.
"And then the stories expanded and I realized that this wasn't an isolated incident. And I knew that I needed to step away and take the kids out of here."
Earlier this week, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour came out in support of Chapman on Stephen Colbert's late-night show.
And on Monday, Scarlett Johansson wore a gown by Chapman's fashion line Marchesa at the Met Gala, which Wintour presides over.
Wintour is seen as the most influential arbiter of American fashion.
She also writes an editor's letter in Vogue in which she says it's wrong to blame Chapman, who should instead be receiving compassion and understanding.
