Harvey Weinstein Recently Offered Rose McGowan $1 Million To Stay Silent
Rose McGowan came out and said Harvey Weinstein recently offered her $1 million to stay silent over sexual assault charges. Apparently, the money was made by someone close to the filmmaker in exchange for her singing a nondisclosure agreement.
“I had all these people I’m paying telling me to take it so that I could fund my art,” she said to The New York Times. She then responded by making a counteroffer of $6 million, which she later retracted.
“I figured I could probably have gotten him up to three. But I was like — ew, gross, you’re disgusting, I don’t want your money, that would make me feel disgusting,” she said. Rose went broke a few years ago putting her father through healthcare — he eventually died.
In 1997, Harvey offered her $100,000 to stay silent about him raping her in a hotel room. But she learned this summer that the money never included a confidentiality clause.
