Rose McGowan Calls Out Justin Timberlake
by EG
Former Charmed star Rose McGowan has very high standards for who can and who can't express support for sexual abuse survivors. Justin Timberlake can't, McGowan said this week on The View, because he has said his wife is hot and because he worked with Woody Allen. That makes Timberlake's support "fake" according to McGowan.

She’s not here for the impostors. During Rose McGowan’s Tuesday, January 30, appearance on The View to promote her new memoir, Brave, the actress took aim at Justin Timberlake for his support of the Time’s Up movement.
After repeating her claims that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, the 44-year-old Charmed alum took the opportunity to share her thoughts on the legal defense fund providing support to victims of sexual abuse in the workplace.
When asked about what she previously deemed “Hollywood fakery,” McGowan said: “The intentions are good, but I know the people behind it. It’s four CAA agents who needed good PR. And I hope that they desperately help these women.”
She added: “Then there’s Justin Timberlake hashtagging ‘My wife looks hot tonight hashtag Time’s Up’ hashtag I just did a movie with Woody Allen.’ So come on, it is fake. I wish it weren’t — I wish everybody were good. I’m sorry to puncture your heroes, but sometimes these heroes need to be better.”
This isn’t the first time the “Man of the Woods” singer, 36, has faced backlash for his recent work with Allen on Wonder Wheel. Dylan Farrow — whose sexual assault claims against her adoptive father, Allen, have recently resurfaced — called Timberlake out earlier this month after he tweeted a question about the saying “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
