Huffman confirmed Thursday that reports Weinstein threatened to stop financial support of her 2005 film Transamerica if she didn't wear Marchesa are 'true'
The now-54-year-old obliged his demands by wearing Marchesa to numerous red carpet events, including her film's screening and the 2006 Golden Globes
Georgina Chapman, 41, launched Marchesa in 2004, the year she met Weinstein
She has always faced accusations her success was because of his connections
On Monday, reports emerged that he threatened to sabotage the careers of A-list stars, including Huffman's, if they didn't wear his wife's fashion label
Felicity Huffman has confirmed that movie mogul Harvey Weinstein threatened to pull publicity funding for her 2005 film Transamerica if she didn't wear his wife Georgina Chapman's gowns on the red carpet.
Earlier this week, amid mounting allegations of Weinstein's sexual harassment and sexual assault, The Hollywood Reporter reported that he threatened to sabotage the careers of A-list stars, including Huffman's, if they didn't wear his wife's fashion label, Marchesa.
'Yeah, it's true,' Huffman, who has been married to fellow actor William H. Macy for 20 years, told TooFab at the Eva Longoria Foundation Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday evening.
The actress obliged Weinstein's demands by wearing a flowing white Marchesa gown for her high-profile appearance at the Golden Globes where she was nominated for both her film and her role on Desperate Housewives.
Huffman, who took home a Golden Globe for Transamerica, also wore a black, strapless Marchesa gown to the New York screening of the film that year.
Chapman, 41, launched Marchesa with her partner Keren Craig in 2004, and even before the scandal over rape and sexual harassment allegations broke, she faced the accusations that the label was only successful thanks to her husband's Hollywood connections.
'He was the mastermind behind Marchesa — orchestrating deals and using his influence in terms of the celebrity connections for her on behalf of the brand,' one Los Angeles publicist told The Hollywood Reporter.
