The famous 44-year-old actress, singer and director Rose McGowan, who became famous for her roles in the tapes "Charmed" and "The Planet of Fear", today made a scandalous speech, again touching the topic of sexual harassment and harassment from Harvey Weinstein.
Rose told how much she was offered for the silence
Those who follow the developments around the famous director Weinstein know that at the beginning of October this year he was accused of sexual harassment by several well-known women. Among them was and actress McGowan, who for a long time hid from the public this fact of her life. Today, the movie star again decided to return to the subject of Harvey, giving the public a new portion of the details of that scandalous affair.
In an interview with The New York Times, Rose confessed that before the publication revealing obscene behavior of Weinstein, the director's managers contacted her, offering $ 1 million for a review of the article from the press. Here are what words recall that episode from her life actress:
"You can not imagine how difficult it was for me to admit about the harassment of Weinstein. For a long time this information lived inside me and I was afraid that I would be condemned for her disclosure. However, it's time to tell the truth. When the journalist of The New York Times contacted me, offering to tell about Harvey and his harassment, I immediately agreed, because besides me there were still women who suffered from this director.Just want to say that this article could not go out in the newspaper. The fact is that on the eve of issue of the number a representative of Vainshtein contacted me and for my consent to withdraw his words suggested 1 million dollars. I took a pause to think. And then began a banal bargaining. First, I raised the price to 3 million, and then to 6. I really needed money, because I sponsor and develop art. But after a little hesitation, I realized that I should not take money. This is mean and wrong. Taking money from a monster that caused me so much pain and humiliation is disgusting. As a result, I refused and the article was printed. "

McGowan had previously tried to tell the story of Harvey
Rose, who for a long time kept silent about the violence on the part of the director, decided in December 2016 to publish a short post on the social network, telling that she was a victim of violence. Here are the lines that McGowan wrote on Twitter:
"I was subjected to harassment and violence from a very influential person. I tried several times to start a lawsuit against him, but everyone dissuaded me. My lawyer, who represents my interests, said that I can not win against this person, because I have often acted in films in frank scenes. The judges in this regard are very tough position, especially when it comes to the reputation of a very rich, famous and influential person. "
