Meghan McCainis continuing to voice her support for Georgina Chapman’s luxury fashion line Marchesa amidHarvey Weinstein‘s ongoingsexual abuse scandal.
McCain, 35, responded to an article on Twitter that claimed Chapman would not be attending her ex-husband’s rape trial, which starts Monday in New York City, because she is working to rebuild the Marchesa brand. TheViewhost recalled the generosity the brand showed her while she was rushing to plan her wedding in 2017 before her father’s death.
“I had a rushed wedding that was planned in a month. I went to EVERY high end label and couldn’t find one thing that fit me, let alone made me feel beautiful. Karen Craig was a saint in our fittings, helped me & obviously made a beautiful dress,” she wrote.
McCain added, “Don’t blame Marchesa for mens sins.”
This isn’t the first time McCain has spoken out in defense of the brand, previously telling PEOPLE shenever considered dropping the designerafter the sexual assault allegations against Weinstein surfaced.

“The scandal erupted and everybody was like, are you going to keep the dress? And I was like why should the two women designers be punished for a man’s disgusting behavior,” McCain said. “I just didn’t wanna feel like the people who had worked there and make their livelihood should be punished as well.”
At the time, a rep for Marchesa told PEOPLE, “It was such an honor for us to dress Meghan for one of the most memorable moments of her life. Meghan looked absolutely stunning in her ivory and blush fit-and-flare gown which was incredibly romantic for her special day.”
