Rose McGowan Makes It Clear She Supports #MeToo
Rose McGowan gave an explosive interview with The U.K.’s Sunday Times where she appeared to criticize the #MeToo movement. But now she’s coming out to clarify what she meant.
“I never said #MeToo is a lie. Ever,” she tweeted “I was talking about Hollywood and Time’s Up, not #MeToo. Ugh. I’m so tired of erroneous s–tstorms. #MeToo is about survivors and their experiences, that cannot be taken away.”
She made it very clear that she supports the movement.
“I’m just here to say that #MeToo is important, it’s honest, and it’s our experience. It is not a lie,” she said. “For some reason, there are people in the media that will try to bring it down. But I say stand strong. Again, it’s simply our shared experience. That is what #MeToo is, and it’s beautiful.”
The criticism initially came after a #MeToo advocate claimed Rose shut out survivors, and alleging that those involved only cared selfishly:
“It’s all bulls–t,” she told Sunday Times. “It’s a lie. 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.”
