The New York Times reported that Rose McGowan was one of at least 8 women with whom producer Harvey Weinstein settled. The incident involving McGowan and Weinstein happened in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival in 1997. The Times added that the $100,000 payment was "not to be construed as an admission," but rather to "avoid litigation and buy peace," according to an official document. Although she declined to comment for that story, McGowan has often hinted that she was sexually assaulted by a studio mogul. She even referred to the incident as "rape" on Twitter, but didnt disclose who raped her, only giving multiple clues, that the man was probably Weinstein. [Oct. 2017].

I think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the,stake.

When I lived in Europe, I was usually pretty exalted for the way I,looked. I had minions who would run and get me candy. . . But when I moved,to Oregon and entered my goth phase with spiky black hair, kids threw,things at me.

I think women look better with a little more weight on them. Being super,thin makes you look haggard.

I know I am kind and I have fun and if I sat there and worried about,what everybody else thought of me my brain would be very crowded.

I imagine, had I grown up in Belfast, I would 100 per cent have been in,the IRA. My heart just broke for the cause. Violence is not to be,played out daily and provide an answer to problems, but I understand,it.
