Activists Go After Meryl Streep in Los Angeles
by EG
After Charmed star Rose McGowan implied on Twitter that Meryl Streep helped to cover for accused sexual abuser Harvey Weinstein, activists in Los Angeles began a campaign of publicly shaming Streep for her alleged complicity. McGowan later claimed that she never said Streep knew about Weinstein's actions, but she also deleted the tweet in which she strongly implied it. Apparently others decided to act on her initial statement instead of her revision.

Someone in Los Angeles doesn’t believe that Meryl Streep didn’t know what was going on with Harvey Weinstein, as the actress is now being targeted by street signs that read “She knew.”

Posters of Streep with a red and white “She knew” banner — reminiscent of the style made famous by artist Barbara Kruger — over her eyes went up around Los Angeles on Tuesday near the SAG-AFTRA building, Hollywood and Highland complex and in Pasadena near Streep’s home.
F off .@vogueAustralia I did not accuse her of that. Step back. https://t.co/PkUrmo0Jw7

Whoever is responsible for the signage remains unknown.
The posters came after Rose McGowan called out Streep for allegedly knowing what was going on with Weinstein. The Oscar-winning actress addressed McGowan’s allegations directly and unequivocally denied her accusations.
