"Everything that happened was humiliating, I was broken psychologically. I was so hard and bad that I could not even go out. All this was accompanied by psychosomatics, breathing problems, mood swings, fits of rage and total impotence. I did not know whom to turn to, whom I can trust. It remained only to cry. Only the children helped me to hold myself in my arms. I thought that it would be with them after this madness, if I do not come to myself and start to patronize them and protect them from what is happening. "
Georgina confessed that in the first five days of the scandal she could neither eat nor drink and sharply lost 5 kilograms:
"My relatives were frightened for me and advised me to go to a psychotherapist. Then I was able to come to my senses and take the only right decision, pick up the children and get away from my husband. At this time he was silent, and the newspapers found more and more stories, confirming the harassment on his part. "
According to Chapman, she decided to protect children from journalists and paparazzi, and took them to London to their relatives:
"I am responsible for India, which is only seven years old, and five-year-old Dashiella. They should not be participants in this madness. "
