Rose McGowan Goes OFF On Meryl Streep And Alyssa Milano For Being "Fake" In Weinstein Scandal Reactions

Rose McGowan isn't done raising her voice ... but this time it's not against sexual predators, it's against a couple women she feels are being "fake" as they join the break-the-silence movement launched by her outing of Harvey Weinstein.
Rose is taking on acting icon Meryl Streep for her recent statements at the Massachusetts Conference for Women in Boston, on Thursday, when she said claims of sexual assault like those against Weinstein are "the most gargantuan example of disrespect." Well that didn't go over well with McGowan and rightfully so. The actress Tweeted: "No, Meryl, IT’S A F—ING CRIME. You are such a lie # ROSEARMY." Choose your words carefully when addressing these issues! Disrespect? Maybe rape, felony, a crime punishable by jail time?
Rose also went after her former Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano who was credited with having started the #MeToo hashtag after the Weinstein scandal broke, but was originally created by Tarana Burke. Well Alyssa went on Megyn Kelly Today Thursday to talk about her Project Runway costar Georgina Chapman, Weinstein's estranged wife and McGowan isn't having any of the BS served by Milano ... McGowan Tweeted: "You make me want to vomit. You actually gave me a body flashback. Well done, fake one." She went on to write, "Alyssa, maybe you and Georgina can call up Camille Cosby," in a reference to Bill Cosby's wife who's stood by the comedian during the many accusations of sexual assault and the subsequent lawsuits.
Milano told Kelly on Today, Georgina is doing very well. She’s an amazing mother. She’s an amazing woman. I think her priority right now is focusing on how to raise those two children to the best of her capacity, given the situation ... She goes through very dark times. She’s very sad. This is not easy for her, but I have no doubt that not only will she come out on the other side of this, but she deserves to. She’s a good woman." We get it, Rose -- Georgina is concerned for her children and trying to carry on but seriously, she didn't know what her husband was doing all those years? Yeah, right! The cover-up comes from so many people around Harvey and men like him -- wives, co-workers, friends. That's why this reckoning touches not only those who are directly guilty of assault but the many, many people who facilitated the abuse by not saying anything. Who can go to sleep at night with a clear conscience? Probably not Georgina Chapman.
Awkwardly, Milano and McGowan were both honored by Time magazine as the People of the Year -- The Silence Breakers -- along with Taylor Swift, Tarana Burke and others. McGowan, however, was conspicuously absent from the cover photo so we asked X17online readers in a poll if they think Rose should have been featured in the pic and a resounding 80% said yes.
