Rose McGowan Was Snubbed By Golden Globes
by EG
Rose McGowan says that she and other Harvey Weinstein accusers, including Roseanna Arquette and Asia Argento, were not invited to The Golden Globe Awards. Argento suggested that having victims in the audience would have been too much of a "downer."
It's worth noting that Ashley Judd, Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek, Lena Headey, and Angelina Jolie, all of whom have accused Weinstein of sexual abuse, were in attendance, as were many other actresses who have accused other men of sexual misconduct.
It's also worth noting that McGowan, ahead of the event, condemned the actresses who were planning to protest during the ceremony, which might have had something to do with why she wasn't invited.

Rose McGowan and Asia Argento accused Harvey Weinstein of rape, which acted as a catalyst for the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements — but they, like Marchesa gowns, were conspicuously absent from the 2018 Golden Globes.
The women, along with several of Weinstein’s other accusers, claim that they weren’t invited to the event.
“I can only speak for myself but not only I wasn’t invited to the #GoldenGlobes: nobody asked my opinion about #TIMESUP or to sign the letter,” Argento, 42, tweeted Monday morning. “I support @TIMESUPNOW even though I was excluded from it. Guess I am not POWERFUL or HOLLYWOOD enough. Proud to work behind the scenes.”
On Sunday, Argento tweeted to McGowan, “No one should forget that you were the first one who broke the silence. Anyone who tries to diminish your work is a troll and an enemy of the movement. You gave me the courage to speak out. I am on your side until I die.”
And not one of those fancy people wearing black to honor our rapes would have lifted a finger had it not been so. I have no time for Hollywood fakery, but you I love, .@AsiaArgento #RoseArmy https://t.co/9e0938y5sI

Rosanna Arquette, who accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct, tweeted to a follower, “No we weren’t invited. Annabella [Sciorra], Daryl [Hannah], Mira [Sorvino] … none of us were.”
Arquette’s sister, Oscar winner Patricia Arquette, replied, “That’s not cool-All of you should have been included.I wasn’t asked either but who cares! It’s great they are doing it & we will too!”
