#MeToo advocate/co-founder/advocate Rose McGowan, who managed to bring down Harvey Weinstein after she accused the Hollywood producer of rape, has slammed the #MeToo movement as 'bull****' in an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine. Did she time it to coincide with Judge Brett Kavanaugh being sworn in as a Supreme Court justice despite Dr. Christine Ford's sexual assault allegations, which he still denies? I would bet the farm on it.
On the subject of #MeToo, McGowan told the times: 'I just think they're douchebags. They're not champions. I just think they're losers. I don't like them. How do I explain the fact that I got a GQ Man of the Year award and no women's magazines and no women's organizations have supported me?'It's all bullshit. 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.'
I cannot stress enough how important the American actress-model-singer has been to the #MeToo movement, she and Asia Argento we're the first to admit being abused by Harvey Weinstein right before the movement was about to be unleashed. However, Rose needs to take a step back and realize just how mentally fragile and unbalanced her recent appearances have looked.
Yes, she might be driven by honesty and the experiences she endured in the past that have, visibly, shaken her, but I'm thinking there's more to this than meets the eye. I contacted a friend that, more or less, confirmed my concerns. He's known McGowan for the better part of 20 years:
"Lotta drugs. Lotta plastic surgery. Talks weird in this way that only multi-pharmaceutical-taking people do. She didn't used to talk like that. You gotta understand, ROSE IS TRUMP This is all about her All her dumb language about I come from Planet Xenon and I don't speak like you people, that is all real megalomania (probably spiked with meth and Adderall) Sadly Rose was once a funny, vivid girl. Really could make you laugh out loud hard. Used to love House of Pies. Bought whole cars while on Ambien."
The short version: "Woman Unknown" was a compromise. The jury deadlocked over "Possible Love" and "NAZA," not able to com to terms, fell back on their #3, May el-Toukhy's film.
