Rose McGowan Is Not On Board with Golden Globes Blackout
by EG
Charmed star Rose McGowan took to Twitter over the weekend to slam a plan for actresses to wear black at the Golden Globes to protest Hollywood's sexual harassment controversy. McGowan attacked Meryl Streep in particular, whom McGowan has accused of being silent about sexual harassment in the past. For some, it's a little difficult to follow McGowan's logic, as she attacks women both for not speaking up and for speaking up.

Rose McGowan slammed Meryl Streep and actresses who are planning to wear black to the 2018 Golden Globe awards to protest sexual harassment.
“Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest,” McGowan, 44, tweeted on Saturday, December 16, referring to disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein. “YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy.”
“Maybe you should all wear Marchesa,” she concluded, referring to the fashion line designed by Weinstein’s estranged wife, Georgina Chapman.
As Us Weekly previously reported, as many as 30 actresses who will be attending the Golden Globes on January 7 are planning to wear the dark hue to show their solidarity in the fight against discrimination and show support for victims of sexual assault and harassment.
Streep was asked by Extra on Friday, December 15, whether she plans to wear black to the Golden Globes. “I don’t know,” she replied. “I’m not talking. You gotta tune in, don’t ya?”
McGowan, who claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Weinstein and reportedly received a hefty payout from him, has been outspoken in the wake of the sexual misconduct scandal that rocked Hollywood in the wake of a New York Times expose claiming the former studio head had sexually harassed and assaulted countless women over the course of three decades.
