Alyssa Milano Explains Silence on Allegations Against Biden, Rose McGowan Goes After Her

Alyssa Milano is speaking out to explain why she has remained silent on the sexual assault allegations made against former VP and current presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The 47-year-old actress was one of the early and most vocal supporters of the Time’s Up movement, so people have questioned why she hasn’t addressed the Biden allegations as she has endorsed him.

“I endorsed Joe Biden and there have been accusations against Joe about sexual assault… I have not publicly said anything about this, if you remembered it took me a long time to publicly say anything about Harvey as well,” Alyssa said on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “I believe that even though we should believe women and that is an important thing and what that statement really means is that for so long the go to has been to not to believe them. So really we have to societally change that mindset to believing women, but that does not mean at the expense of not giving men their due process and investigating situations.”

One of Biden‘s former staff members claimed that she was sexually assaulted by him in 1993.

Alyssa added, “I have been very vocal about Biden and my support for him, I have known him for a long time. I did do my due diligence and the article that stood out to me was that Times Up decided not to take the case…. I did my work and I spoke to Times Up and I just don’t feel comfortable throwing away a decent man that I have known for 15 years in this time of complete chaos without there being a thorough investigation. I am sure that mainstream media would be jumping all over this as well if they found more evidence.”

Now, Rose McGowan is speaking out the slam Alyssa for her comments. (The two actresses both starred on Charmed)

“You are a fraud. This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME,” Rose wrote in a tweet.

Alyssa responded, “I continue to support you and applaud your bravery as well as acknowledge all the people you have helped along the way, @Rosemcgowan. Be well and stay safe.”

The Silence Breakers Issue Statement After Harvey Weinstein Sentencing

The Silence Breakers are speaking out.

The group of 24 Harvey Weinstein accusers, made up of women including Ashley Judd, Rosanna Arquette and Rose McGowan, spoke out in a statement issued on Wednesday (March 11) following the sentencing of the disgraced film producer, who will be serving 23 years in prison for criminal sexual acts.

Harvey Weinstein‘s legacy will always be that he’s a convicted rapist. He is going to jail — but no amount of jail time will repair the lives he ruined, the careers he destroyed, or the damage he has caused,” the women said in their statement.

Rose McGowan Calls Out Ben Affleck for Allegedly Not Coming Forward About Harvey Weinstein: 'I Feel Sorry for Him'

Rose McGowan is once again calling out Ben Affleck.

After the Brave author and actress alleged that the Triple Frontier actor did not come forward with the knowledge of Harvey Weinstein allegedly assaulting her at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, Rose once again called out Ben in a tweet on Wednesday (March 11).

The tweet came in response to a message: “.@EWagmeister I have a daughter on the way, Please don’t praise a man for doing nothing. Continue to raise up those who created the change. #MeToo #TimesUp,” writer and producer Johnathon Schaech wrote in response to a headline from journalist Elizabeth Wagmeister about Ben being on Harvey‘s “red flag list,” which was recently unsealed in court documents. The list contained names of people Harvey was allegedly concerned could be talking to the press about his sexual conduct with women.

“You are right Johnathon. Ben Affleck. I feel sorry for him. It must be so wearying playing a superhero instead of being one. He could have risen. He still can. He was raised at the teat of that toxic intersection Hollywood/Media/Politics. Michael Bay made him shave his teal teeth,” Rose wrote in response.

Here is what Rose claimed about Ben‘s knowledge of the situation with Harvey, and what Harvey‘s lawyers said in response.

Natalie Portman Responds to Rose McGowan Slamming Her Oscars Dress

Natalie Portman is reacting to Rose McGowan‘s criticism.

After Rose referred to Natalie‘s 2020 Oscars dress, which featured the names of female directors in protest of the lack of female nominations, as “offensive to those of us who actually do the work,” Natalie issued a response on Wednesday (February 12).

“I agree with Ms. McGowan that it is inaccurate to call me ‘brave’ for wearing a garment with women’s names on it. Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure,” she said in a statement.

“The past few years have seen a blossoming of directing opportunities for women due to the collective efforts of many people who have been calling out the system. The gift has been these incredible films. I hope that what was intended as a simple nod to them does not distract from their great achievements. It is true I’ve only made a few films with women. In my long career, I’ve only gotten the chance to work with female directors a few times – I’ve made shorts, commercials, music videos and features with Marya Cohen, Mira Nair, Rebecca Zlotowski, Anna Rose Holmer, Sofia Coppola, Shirin Neshat and myself. Unfortunately, the unmade films I have tried to make are a ghost history,” she went on to say.

“If these films do get made, women face enormous challenges during the making of them. I have had the experience a few times of helping get female directors hired on projects which they were then forced out of because of the conditions they faced at work. After they are made, female-directed films face difficulty getting into festivals, getting distribution and getting accolades because of the gatekeepers at every level. So I want to say, I have tried, and I will keep trying. While I have not yet been successful, I am hopeful that we are stepping into a new day.”

Rose McGowan Slams Natalie Portman's 'Offensive' Activism, Calls Out the Number of Female Directors She Has Hired

Rose McGowan is not holding back over Natalie Portman‘s choice to embroider the names of all the female directors who weren’t nominated for Academy Awards onto her outfit at the 2020 Oscars this past weekend.

“I find Portman’s type of activism deeply offensive to those of us who actually do the work. I’m not writing this out of bitterness, I am writing out of disgust. I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk,” Rose wrote in a post on Facebook.

Natalie, you have worked with two female directors in your very long career- one of them was you. You have a production company that has hired exactly one female director- you,” Rose continued. “What is it with actresses of your ilk? You ‘A-listers’ (🤮) could change the world if you’d take a stand instead of being the problem. Yes, you, Natalie. You are the problem. Lip service is the problem. Fake support of other women is the problem.”

Rose added, “I am singling you out because you are the latest in a long line of actresses who are acting the part of a woman who cares about other women. Actresses who supposedly stand for women, but in reality do not do much at all. Of course women in the world will keep buying the perfumes you promote, the movies you make, and think they’re buying into who you are. But who are you?”

“There is no law that says you need to hire women, work with women, or support women. By all means, you do you. But I am saying stop pretending you’re some kind of champion for anything other than yourself. As for me, I’ll be over here raising my voice and fighting for change without any compensation. That is activism,” Rose continued. “Until you and your fellow actresses get real, do us all a favor and hang up your embroidered activist cloak, it doesn’t hang right.”

This is not the first time Natalie has been called out publicly by another female celebrity.

While she waited outside the court house, Rose shared a powerful message with the crowd of survivors and reporters.

“Dear Harvey, no matter what lies you tell yourself, you did this,” Rose said via AOL. “Today, Lady Justice is staring down on a super predator. You brought this upon yourself by hurting so many. You have only yourself to blame. I came here today to see this through. I came here today to stand side by side with these other women who you also harmed and to be a voice for the voiceless…You thought you could terrorize me and others into silence. You were wrong.”

Rose has accused Harvey of raping her back in 1997.

Harvey is facing five charges relating to sexual misconduct — including a count of rape and predatory sexual assault. He as denied all allegations, claiming the various sexual liaisons were all consensual.

Rose McGowan Is Confusing Fans With These Contradicting Tweets About Politics & Voting

Rose McGowan is getting her fans and social media users very confused by two tweets she posted today (January 3) about politics.

The 46-year-old actress and activist first shared this tweet: “I will never vote Republican. I want the Democrats to win because we are less likely to die. I am a conscientious objector to the USA, it’s policies, lies, corruption, nationalism, racism, and deep misogyny. It is our right and duty as citizens to dissent.”

However, hours later, a new tweet seemed to contradict all that she wrote.

“I’m a registered Republican in California. I loathe the Clintons. I hate Trump. I will not vote Republican, but I cannot vote Democrat. I’d rather know what evil I’m getting, so I’ll go Republican. This is about WWIII, so none of that shit matters anyway. #TeamStayAlive #RoseArmy.”

Rose has been very outspoken in the past about her political views and the #MeToo movement.
