Rose McGowan Says Harvey Weinstein Raped Her, Finally Throwing Away the NDA15 October 17
In 1997, according to the New York Times, an incident between McGowan and Weinstein in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival prompted the ex-mogul to pay her a $100,000 settlement. McGowan didn’t speak to the Times about what happened, but has continued to imply online that Weinstein sexually assaulted her. (She is reported to be the anonymous actress who pulled out of Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker story, telling him, “The legal angle is coming at me and I have no recourse.”) This week, McGowan asked if she’s “allowed to say rapist,” and in October 2016, she said she was raped by a studio executive. McGowan’s tweets come just after her account was suspended by Twitter Wednesday night.
Update: Through a spokesperson, Harvey Weinstein has denied that he raped McGowan. Sallie Hofmeister, a representative for Weinstein, said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.” |
