Rose McGowan has been calling bullshit on Hollywood hypocrisy long before #MeToo was trending. And now that the world is listening, McGowan has no intention of letting up—even if that means taking other entertainment industry “Silence Breakers” to task. On Friday, McGowan unleashed righteous Twitter anger on Alyssa Milano, sharing a People article on the actress’ friendship with Harvey Weinstein’s ex, Georgina Chapman. The article, titled “Alyssa Milano Says Friend Georgina Chapman Is ‘Sad’ But Doing ‘Well’ Amid Weinstein Scandal,” transcribes a Wednesday Today show appearance, during which Milano told Megyn Kelly that, “Georgina is doing very well… She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing woman, and I think her priority right now is focusing on how to raise those two children to the best of her capacity given the situation.” 
 
 “She goes through very dark times. She’s very sad,” Milano continued. “This is not easy for her, but I have no doubt that not only will she come out on the other side of this, but she deserves to. She’s a good woman.” 
 
 In the wake of a series of damning sexual assault and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, Chapman, who is the co-founder of fashion label Marchesa, announced that she was leaving the disgraced producer. In a statement at the time, Chapman told People, “I have chosen to leave my husband,” explaining, “My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions.” But McGowan, one of Weinstein’s numerous accusers, appears to think that Chapman was more complicit than she’s letting on. McGowan shared the People article on Twitter, writing, “You make me want to vomit. You actually gave me a body flashback. Well done, fake one.” 
 
 In a separate tweet, McGowan addressed her former Charmed costar Milano directly, writing, “Alyssa, maybe you and Georgina can call up Camille Cosby.” McGowan also retweeted an account that responded to her initial post with, “I’m saying Georgina Chapman’s company was 100% funded by Weinstein money. No one knew who she was in the fashion world before she married him. I’m saying Weinstein bullied abused women to wear his wife’s clothing line. I’m saying she knew who and [what] she married and why.” McGowan captioned the retweet “and you are 100 percent correct.” 
 
 According to The New York Times, a 1997 $100,000 Weinstein settlement aimed to silence McGowan in light of an alleged incident between the producer and the actress. Still, McGowan has been sounding the alarm for quite some time. In 2016, she tweeted, “Because my ex sold our movie to my rapist for distribution #WhyWomenDontReport… it’s been an open secret in Hollywood/Media & they shamed me while adulating my rapist.” After the Times published their exposé in October, McGowan wrote, “Anyone who does business with _ is complicit. And deep down you know you are even dirtier. Cleanse yourselves.” The next day, she tweeted, “Ladies of Hollywood, your silence is deafening.” 
 
 In addition to sharing Weinstein-related posts and #MeToo updates, McGowan has used her large social media following to spotlight hypocrisy, and is unafraid to name A-listers. Following the accusations, McGowan tweeted at powerful men including Donald Trump, Ben Affleck, and Jeff Bezos. After Affleck and his BFF Matt Damon maintained a days-long silence on Weinstein, who gave the duo their first big Hollywood break, McGowan shared some strong words: “Hey @Mattdamon what’s it like to be a spineless profiteer who stays silent?” She also implicated the Affleck brothers, writing, “how’s your morning boys?” Affleck finally issued a statement condemning Weinstein, which strongly implied that the actor was just now learning of Weinstein’s decades of abuse. McGowan tells a different story. “@benaffleck ‘GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT’ you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie.” She countered, adding, “Ben Affleck fuck off.” 
 
 Of course Affleck, a powerful man whose brother has been accused of sexual harassment and who faces allegations of groping himself, is a predictable target. Conversely Milano, who was recently featured in Time’s “Silence Breakers” Person of the Year story along with McGowan, has been credited with helping to popularize the #MeToo hashtag. The hashtag was started by activist Tarana Burke in 2006 as a grassroots movement to support survivors in underprivileged communities. “It wasn’t built to be a viral campaign or a hashtag that is here today and forgotten tomorrow,” Burke explained to Ebony. “It was a catchphrase to be used from survivor to survivor to let folks know that they were not alone and that a movement for radical healing was happening and possible.” 
 
 In October, Milano urged her Twitter followers to use the hashtag to “give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.” According to Time, “More than 1.7 million people immediately spoke out about their own harassment experiences after Milano’s tweet.” 
 
 While Time’s “Silence Breakers” cover story featured a wide array of voices, the magazine was criticized for the faces it chose to include on its cover, as well as the women who were left out. An article on Afropunk began, “A Black woman creates something, and white people credit themselves for it, after ignoring it for as long as possible. Where have we heard this before?” They continued, “As with most good things, a Black woman named Tarana Burke was the original creator of the #MeToo awareness movement, but you would never know that from whom Time chose to put on its cover instead.” The controversial cover, which honors “the voices that launched a movement,” features Susan Fowler, Isabel Pascual, Adama Iwu, Ashley Judd, and Taylor Swift. Also on Friday, McGowan tweeted, “I’m not missing from a cover, billions of hurt women are.” ||||| Harvey Weinstein is escorted into court, Friday, May 25, 2018, in New York.

 NEW YORK (AP) — She was one of the earliest Harvey Weinstein accusers, and she thought the mogul might never face justice in a court of law. 
 
 Now, actress Rose McGowan, who has accused Weinstein of raping her 20 years ago, is gratified but "still in shock" at his surrender Friday in a Manhattan courtroom on rape charges. And she prays that the charges will stick. 
 
 "I still have very guarded hopes," McGowan told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday night. "The justice system has been something very elusive. I hope in this case it works. Because it's all true. None of this was consensual." 
 
 Weinstein, who has long denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex, was arraigned Friday morning on rape and other charges involving two of the scores of women who have accused him. It was the first criminal case against Weinstein since the revelations about him erupted last October and sparked the cultural "reckoning" that became the MeToo movement. 
 
 "We got you, Harvey Weinstein, we got you," she tweeted Friday morning. 
 
 "I hope this gives hope to victims and survivors everywhere, that we are one step closer to justice. Because one win is a win for all of us," McGowan said Thursday night. "It shows that it can be done." 
 
 After talking and writing about the case for so long, including in a recent memoir, "Brave," McGowan, 44, said it came as a huge surprise when news of the legal case finally came. 
 
 "I haven't come out of the shock of it yet," she said. "This is somebody who has been my nemesis for 20 years." 
 
 Besides the immediate satisfaction of seeing Weinstein face justice, McGowan said she firmly believes that his story, and the cultural earthquake that followed, will have a profound and lasting impact on how society treats powerful abusers who engage in sexual misconduct. 
 
 "We can't go backward," she said. "The genie can't go back in the bottle. This is the first time since written history that women are being believed — begrudgingly, but still." 
 
 Equally important, McGowan said, is that the MeToo movement will help women who aren't famous, well-off movie stars, like many of Weinstein's accusers, but less powerful women without a voice. "If it's being done to me and other people who are well-known, what's happening to those who aren't?" she said. 
 
 As for what she expects to see in five or 10 years, McGowan said "there are always going to be social predators. And sociopaths. But the ones that to me are more guilty are the ones that kept everything quiet and covered everything up. Those are the ones that need to change their behavior. They know who they are. I think five years from now, a lot of these weeds will be taken out." 
 
 "The conversation will keep getting deeper," she said. "It will continue. Because we needed to have a conversation about truth. And ... victims tell the truth, no matter how long and how hard it is to tell the truth, or whether you've been saying it for 20 years and nobody cared to listen." 
 
 When asked if she planned to be in the courtroom should Weinstein go to trial, she said "Yes," with a quiet laugh. "Yes, I will." ||||| Rose McGowan is not afraid to call someone out. The actress slammed Meryl Streep for her reaction to the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal and Alyssa Milano for opening up about Weinstein’s estranged wife, Georgina Chapman. 
 
 “No, Meryl, IT’S A F—ING CRIME. You are such a lie # ROSEARMY,” McGowan wrote, responding to an article published by USA Today entitled “Meryl Streep on Harvey Weinstein allegations: It’s ‘the most gargantuan example of disrespect.’” 
 
 McGowan also tweeted a response to a news article about her former Charmed costar giving an update on Chapman. 
 
 “You make me want to vomit. You actually gave me a body flashback. Well done, fake one,” McGowan tweeted. 
 
 As previously reported, Milano talked about how her Project Runaway: All Stars costar was doing during an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today on Thursday, December 7. 
 
 “Georgina is doing very well,” Milano said of the British fashion designer, who announced she was leaving the disgraced movie producer in October, less than a week after the The New York Times detailed decades of sexual harassment allegations against Weinstein. “She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing woman. I think her priority right now is focusing on how to raise those two children to the best of her capacity, given the situation.” 
 
 “She goes through very dark times. She’s very sad,” Milano continued. “This is not easy for her, but I have no doubt that not only will she come out on the other side of this, but she deserves to. She’s a good woman.” 
 
 “Alyssa, maybe you and Georgina can call up Camille Cosby,” McGowan added in another tweet, referring to Bill Cosby’s wife, who has stood by the comedian amid multiple sexual assault allegations against him. 
 
 McGowan and Milano were both honored as one of “The Silence Breakers” in Time’s Person of the Year issue. McGowan is one of the women who first shared her story about Weinstein in The New York Times piece and the Who’s the Boss alum resurfaced #MeToo on Twitter. The original creator of the movement, Tarana Burke, was also featured in the magazine.

 McGowan was in London doing the rounds of breakfast television series including Piers Morgan-fronted Good Morning Britain and Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine show ahead of picking up the GQ Men of the Year Inspiration Award, becoming the first woman to receive the honor. 
 
 The Brave author said that she believed Argento was “lying” to her with regards to the actress’ relationship with Jimmy Bennett, the 17 year old she slept with when she was 37. 
 
 Speaking on GMB, McGowan said that “if we’re going to look for beauty in this really horrible situation” it shows that “boys have voices too”. She said that it was a “horrible situation” but that her own feelings are “very insignificant” and she expected there to be “due process”. 
 
 “MeToo is not just for women, I’ve had so many men share their stories of abuse, it’s never happened before in history and people are freaking out and trying to analyse and crunch the data, my response is to let it breathe, let people have their voice. If I feel like walking down the street naked, no one has the right to rape me. When I take my girlfriend, who is masculine presenting, to a gay club, often times she gets grabbed. Everybody has the sovereign right to their body,” she added. 
 
 The Scream star fought back against Morgan’s claim that some careers have been hit by false accusations. “I don’t know if we know if careers are over because it’s been such a short period of time…The hell you go through just to speak truth really whittles down the false accusations. You can cut off the rot and let the good people come up. All we need to do is to have a collective conversation.” 
 
 She also admitted fearing for her health in the long-term, particularly as a result of the stress levels and called the last two years “mindbending”. 
 
 Later in the morning, McGowan went on Jeremy Vine’s new Channel 5 discussion show to talk about similar topics. She said that a lot of people who have been hurt by sexual harassment “don’t understand that they are not to blame” and remarked that Harvey Weinstein was the “cult leader” of Hollywood. 
 
 But she added, “I was never really in love with Hollywood, for me it was my day job, I’m an artist in full and always been a writer and now a filmmaker and a producer and singing on an album that I’ve been creating for the past three years, while for the past four years pushing against Hollywood and societal constructs and pushing back at the rules we’re all meant to follow. What are they going to do, put me in time out celebrity jail? It’s absurd.” ||||| I never said # MeToo is a lie. Ever. I was talking about Hollywood and Time’s Up, not # MeToo . Ugh. I’m so tired of erroneous sh*tstorms. # MeToo is about survivors and their experiences, that cannot be taken away.
– On Wednesday, Rose McGowan commemorated the anniversary of #MeToo, "one of the hardest years of my life" and "a year of triggering for so many." As for the movement itself, an interview in the Sunday Times Magazine over the weekend painted the 45-year-old actress as coming down on it altogether as she called the people now pushing the #MeToo campaign "douchebags" and "losers." "It's all bulls---. It's a lie," she says. "It's a Band-Aid lie to make them feel better. I know these people, I know they're lily-livered, and as long as it looks good on the surface, to them, that's enough." The magazine cited her beef that she isn't asked to attend survivors' events or other campaign promotions, even though she's been one of the most outspoken people in speaking up about sexual misconduct since she revealed she was a victim of Harvey Weinstein. Now, however, McGowan says her words were twisted, and that she wasn't trashing the #MeToo movement itself, per USA Today. "I never said #MeToo is a lie," she tweeted Sunday evening. "Ever. I was talking about Hollywood and Time's Up, not #MeToo. Ugh. I'm so tired of erroneous sh*tstorms. #MeToo is about survivors and their experiences, that cannot be taken away." In two follow-up videos Monday morning, McGowan added, "I'm just here to say that #MeToo is important, it's honest, and it's ... simply our shared experience. That is what #MeToo is. And it's beautiful." Also told with "cold, controlled fury" to the Times, McGowan reveals she spent 20 years strategically "plotting her revenge" against Weinstein—she says she only took on the role on Charmed to become more famous so that when she exposed him it would definitely make headlines.
