Amber Tamblyn Comes After Rose McGowan For Shaming Women
Amber Tamblyn was not having Rose McGowan’s recent comments that called out actresses (particularly Meryl Streep) for wearing black to the Golden Globes rather than voicing their thoughts, saying their “silence” is the problem.
“Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest,” Rose wrote on Twitter, referring to Weinstein. “YOUR SILENCE is THE problem,” McGowan continued. “You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.”
Amber bit back:
“Rose McGowan is a friend and while I support her kind of movement, I do not support any woman (or man) shaming or taunting the movements of other women who are trying to create change,” she tweeted. “Telling us to all wear Marchesa? This is beneath you, Rose.”
She continued: “You don’t have to support and stand with us, but we stand and support you. You may take below the belt shots at us but we will not take them at you in return… We stand together in this fight, shoulder to shoulder, weapon to weapon, woman to woman (and man), body to burned body. And our arms are open. And our hearts two fold. And our fire will be a universal scorch.”

Our movement is big. And a black dress is just the beginning of the darkness that will be drained from every industry across the country by the time we’re done. That’s a promise.

Her statement was public and hurtful to some women so a public response was earned. I spoke to her at length today, she knows how I feel. I love Rose fiercely, that will never change. To be critical of an action is not to condemn the person behind it. There’s your common message. https://t.co/zniyfPZzPT
