Alexander Payne | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Rose McGowan is bravely coming forward and accusing director Alexander Payne of sexual misconduct. The alleged incident occurred when she was only 15 years old.

“Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name. I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15,” the actress – who is now 46 years old – shared on Twitter in the early morning hours of Monday (August 17).

Rose then tweeted out a photo of her headshot at age 15 and said, “I just want an acknowledgement and an apology. I do not want to destroy.”

Alexander Payne is a director and has won 2 Oscars, both for adapted screenplay, for The Descendants in 2012 and Sideways in 2005.

The incident would have happened around 1988 when Payne was 1988.

Rose also accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her in 1997.

Just last month, Rose spoke out about another very famous figure and called for his arrest.

Laura Dern is joined on the red carpet by friends Naomi Watts and Gwendoline Christie at MoMA’s 2019 Film Benefit presented by Chanel on Tuesday night (November 12) in New York City.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who is a frontrunner to win an Academy Award next year for Marriage Story, was honored for her career.

“Courageous is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Laura Dern. Not in the somewhat clichéd way it is often used to describe actors’ role-choices, but in the fact that she has made me a more courageous viewer,” MoMA’s film curator Rajendra Roy said in a statement.

He added, “Her disarming ability to shake us loose from false conventional moorings and thrust us into moments of profound truth has made her an essential artist in cinema for the past thirty-five years (she started young!). She is the ideal honoree as we inaugurate a new, more open chapter in MoMA’s history.”

Other celebs who attended the event included Adam Driver, Brooke Shields, directors Noah Baumbach and Alexander Payne, and singer Maggie Rogers, who performed.
