I didn’t say that – Rose

- Peter Sblendorio

Rose McGowan is clearing up her stance on the #MeToo movement.

The actress praised the significan­ce of #MeToo and denied ever calling it a “lie” after a recent article by The Sunday Times quoted her criticizin­g the movement.

“I never said #MeToo is a lie. Ever. I was talking about Hollywood and Time’s Up, not #MeToo,” McGowan tweeted. “Ugh. I’m so tired of erroneous s---storms. #MeToo is about survivors and their experience­s, that cannot be taken away.”

She went on to post a pair of short videos sharing a similar sentiment, including one where says the #MeToo movement is “important, it’s honest and it’s our experience.”

McGowan’s clarificat­ion comes shortly after the British paper published a story in which she is quoted as saying she thinks some people in Hollywood, including some who have publicly supported #MeToo, are “douchebags.”
