The actress in the middle of the Harvey Weinstein scandal is none other than Rose McGowan — a fierce feminist who has been speaking out about the hypocrisy and double standards in Hollywood way before the disgraced film producer made headlines. And it doesn’t look like she is going to quiet down any time — and we don’t blame her.

Following news that Harvey has been sexually harassing women for decades, Rose has not only publicly accused the Oscar winner of assaulting her but has also called out other actors for covering up his behavior. “Ben Affleck f–k off,” she tweeted before her account was temporarily suspended. “GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT” you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie.” She reportedly received a $100,000 settlement from Harvey in 1997. Watch the video below to see the actress then and now.

Rose, who made her Hollywood debut in the early ’90s, has been a self-proclaimed “feminist whistleblowing badass” for years and we’re just glad people are finally taking her seriously. In 2015 she told Buzzfeed, “someone blacklisted me in the industry, and I couldn’t get a job in movies.” Keep reading to find out more about the Scream star.

Who is Rose McGowan?

According to her Instagram bio, Rose is an artist and notable public figure. However, she is also the head of a revolution when it comes to exposing the sexism in Hollywood — and leads the #ROSEARMY on social media. Before being discovered in LA, the 44-year-old was born in Italy and raised in the Children of God cult in the States, which she ran away from at the age of 13. She is best known for her role as Paige Matthews in Charmed.

Was Rose McGowan raped by Harvey Weinstein?

According to the NYT, Rose received $100,000 in a settlement from Harvey in 1997 after an incident in a hotel room at the Sundance Film Festival. While she declined to comment on the article, she did accuse the producer of rape on Twitter. “It’s been an open secret in Hollywood/Media & they shamed me while adulating my rapist.” Since there was a confidentiality clause in the settlement, Rose could face legal action for speaking out.

But Rose has since gone on the record and in a recent interview with the NYT, she revealed that just before the exposé was published, someone in Harvey’s camp reached out to her and offered her $1 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement, aka hush money. She countered his offer with $6 million but then decided to pull it.

“I had all these people I’m paying telling me to take it so that I could fund my art,” Rose told the NYT. “I figured I could probably have gotten him up to three. But I was like — ew, gross, you’re disgusting, I don’t want your money, that would make me feel disgusting.”

What happened with Rose McGowan and Amazon?

The actress claimed in a series of tweets that the e-commerce giant dropped her screenplay after she insisted that Harvey’s company not get involved and ignored her claims that she was raped by the movie mogul. “@jeffbezos I told the head of your studio that HW raped me,” she wrote. “Over & over I said it. He said it hadn’t been proven. I said I was the proof.” Roy Price, the head of Amazon Studios, was put on a leave of absence following the allegations. “We are reviewing our options for the projects we have with The Weinstein Company,” Amazon added in a statement.
