 In posters that appeared in several locations in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Meryl Streep was seemingly depicted as a Harvey Weinstein enabler by anonymous street artists. 
 
 Posters hung early in the morning, before the sun came up, feature an image of Streep next to Weinstein with a red strip across her face with the text “She knew,” an apparent reference to Weinstein’s alleged sexual abuse of women over the course of decades. 
 
 The posters are a riff on the work of artist Barbara Kruger, whose signature text in red banners has been adapted and copied for decades. 
 
 The posters went up near Streep’s house in Pasadena, near the SAG-AFTRA building in Mid-Wilshire and across from the 20th Century Fox studio lot in Century City. Fox is behind the drama The Post, which stars Streep alongside Tom Hanks and opens on Jan. 11. 
 
 The artists are referring to accusations (which Streep has denied) that she had knowledge of Weinstein's alleged predatory behavior and did not speak up. That claim has been promoted by actress Rose McGowan, who alleges she was raped by Weinstein. 
 
 On Tuesday, Streep issued a response to McGowan. "I want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein’s crimes, not in the ‘90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others," Streep stated. "I wasn’t deliberately silent. I didn’t know. I don’t tacitly approve of rape. I didn’t know." ||||| CLOSE Amber Tamblyn is not pleased with her friend Rose McGowan‘s decision to speak out against Hollywood actresses who plan to wear black to the Golden Globes in protest of sexual harassment Time

 As the Harvey Weinstein scandal continues to reverberate around Hollywood, Rose McGowan remains a vocal name, interviewing several accusers, and with anti-Meryl Streep posters showing up in Los Angeles following a recent Twitter diatribe against the actress. 
 
 More developments as they happen: 
 
 #SheKnew posters of Meryl Streep posted in L.A. 
 
 On Wednesday, CBS Los Angeles shared footage of posters showing a photo of Meryl Streep with Harvey Weinstein, emblazoned with the text #SheKnew, near the SAG-AFTRA building in L.A. The posters also showed up in several other places around the city, and appear to have been installed before sunrise Wednesday morning. 
 
 The posters follow McGowan's tweets this weekend calling out Streep for her professional relationship with Weinstein, and imply the Oscar-winner actress knew about Weinstein's alleged predatory behavior. 
 
 In a tweet that appears to have been taken down, McGowan wrote that "actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa." 
 
 The clash originated over speculation that actresses, including Streep, plan to wear black gowns to the upcoming Golden Globes on Jan. 7 to protest sexual harassment of women. 
 
 Streep responded in a letter sent to USA TODAY by her rep, Leslee Dart, writing, “It hurt to be attacked by Rose McGowan in banner headlines this weekend, but I want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein’s crimes, not in the 90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others."

 McGowan interviews accusers for The Cut 
 
 NBC’s Stephanie Gosk presented highlights from a roundtable about harassment, organized by New York Magazine and moderated by McGowan on Wednesday’s Today show. 
 
 “My beef is really with all the people that are complicit,” McGowan said. 
 
 The roundtable included accusers of President Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Louis C.K. and John Hockenberry. 
 
 “It’s tough being called a liar,” said Jessica Leeds, who has accused the president of groping her. “It’s very difficult to stand up and say, ‘This is what happened,’ and have an administration saying I’m lying.” 
 
 Similarly, comedian Rebecca Corry, who says C.K. asked her to watch him masturbate, said she's faced severe backlash since coming forward. “I’m getting death threats, and I’m getting ripped apart,” she said. “I’m getting all this free hate every single day.” 
 
 Weinstein accuser Dominique Huett (Hewitt) added that she found strength in the accusers that came before her. “I had a tremendous amount of self-blame until those women came forward and were published,” she said. “Then I kind of felt like wow, things are shifting. I can share this experience.” 
 
 Ex-Weinstein assistant seeks to change gag laws 
 
 In a Tuesday interview with the BBC, former Weinstein assistant Zelda Perkins says she broke the non-disclosure agreement she signed in hopes Great Britain will reform its gag laws. 
 
 Perkins, one of the 80 plus women to publicly accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct, was one of two London-based Miramax assistants from the 1990s who received settlements written about in The New York Times’ Oct. 5 bombshell story. 
 
 "I understand that non-disclosure agreements have a place in society for both sides, but it's really important that legislation is changed around how these agreements are regulated," she told BBC Newsnight. ”You cannot have a legal document that protects a criminal — this isn't someone who sold you a dodgy car." 
 
 In her original October interview with The Financial Times, Perkins claimed Weinstein began harassing her the very first time they were alone together in his room at the Savoy Hotel, where he stayed while in London on business. 
 
 Like many other accusers, Perkins said Weinstein would ask for massages or request that she be present while he bathed. But unlike other women who say he harassed or assaulted them once or twice, "this was his behavior on every occasion I was alone with him." 
 
 She said she finally quit after Weinstein tried to rape her co-worker during a trip to the Venice Film Festival. But Perkins says she soon realized a financial settlement was her only recourse. 
 
 "Once I realized this was my only (weapon) for preventing Harvey's behavior, to create an agreement that was as difficult for him as it was going to be for me," she explained. "He had to attend therapy for his behavior. I don't know if he attended therapy or not. I was not allowed to speak to a therapist without them signing a confidentiality agreement. I was not allowed to speak to my accountant with regard to the money (£125,000) that I received." 
 
 Perkins continued, saying it was hard to know what counted as violating the agreement because she was forbidden to own a copy of it. Asked why this was, she told the BBC, "It's a smoking gun." 
 
 On balance, Perkins was circumspect, saying, "You can't change the Harvey Weinsteins of the world. There are always going to be people who follow the darker side of their character. But if there rules and laws that we have to protect ourselves enable that, then there's no point in having them." 
 
 “Mr. Weinstein categorically denies engaging in any non-consensual conduct or alleged threatening behavior,” his U.K.-based lawyer, Paul Tweed, told USA TODAY in a statement relayed by his American representatives.

 Social media posts indicated posters were spotted near the SAG-AFTRA building, near Streep's Pasadena home, at the Hollywood and Highland complex, and across from the 20th Century Fox studio lot in Century City. 
 
 It wasn't immediately clear who was responsible for the campaign, though street artist Sabo – who recently targeted Minnesota Sen. Al Franken after he was accused of misconduct – denied any responsibility. 
 
 The posters followed a statement Monday from Streep saying Weinstein "needed me much more than I needed him and he made sure I didn't know." The Oscar winner says her association with him brought him credibility which, she says, he used "to lure young, aspiring women into circumstances where they would be hurt."

 McGowan had called Streep a hypocrite for a reported plan that she and other actresses would wear black at the Golden Globes to show unity with victims of sexual assault. 
 
 Streep says she's sorry McGowan sees her as an adversary because, according to Streep, they are on the same side in the fight to eradicate the status quo power structure in Hollywood. 
 
 Actress Amber Tamblyn, who says she is a friend of McGowan, also responded to her criticism by saying she does "not support any woman (or man) shaming or taunting the movements of other women who are trying to create change."
– In posters near the 20th Century Fox studio lot, the actors' union headquarters, and her home, Meryl Streep is accused of allowing Harvey Weinstein to allegedly prey on women for decades, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The posters feature a picture of Streep with Weinstein; a red bar across Streep's face reads "She Knew." CBS News reports it's unclear who is behind the posters, which went up in various locations around Los Angeles on Tuesday. The appearance of the posters follows allegations made against Streep by Rose McGowan over the weekend. McGowan, who says Weinstein raped her, claims Streep knew about Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct and did nothing. McGowan called Streep a hypocrite over reports Streep plans to wear black to the Golden Globes in support of sexual assault victims, USA Today reports. In a statement Tuesday, Streep says she "did not know about Weinstein's crimes" and "wasn't deliberately silent."
