12 Things We Learned From Rose McGowan On Louis Theroux’s Podcast

Quite rightly, McGowan was reluctant to delve too deep into the raw details of her sexual assault, but she does describe how her first meeting with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein arose. It happened during the filming of her second movie with the Weinstein company when she was asked by one of the company’s managers to wait for Harvey upstairs in the living room of his hotel room “because he was tied up on the phone.”

After greeting his two assistants outside the door of his bedroom, the two men failed to look at her in the eye. Theroux asked, “You think they knew?”, and McGowan replies stating, ‘I know they knew.”

She goes on to say that “his movies were a front for his rape factory, not the other way around.” She views Hollywood as a deep cult of complicity that operates on a fear-based structure of silenced enablers, and convicted-rapist Harvey Weinstein was once the de facto leader of hush-hush Hollywood complicity. Ultimately, this meant such disgraceful sexual misconduct could operate unlawfully for far too long.

One of the most disturbing things McGowan goes on to speak about is how numerous Hollywood producers have since gone on to express their hatred of McGowan and her unmasking of the truth, all because she’s now “stopped them from having any more fun” in the post #metoo environment of Hollywood.

McGowan put it perfectly when she replied saying, “Well you’ve got a f***ed up idea of fun!”
