The scandal of Harvey Weinstein, who is being accused by more than 60 women of sexual abuse, continues to escalate. This weekend actress Rose McGowan revealed that the producer would have offered her $1 million for her silence.
According to that newspaper, a person close to him offered that
amount to the star who gave life to Page Matthews in the series Charmed, but
she rejected it a day before the scandal of her s*xual abuse came to
light.
In that interview, McGowan revealed that, overwhelmed by
the debts that afflict her, she presented a counteroffer for $6 million to
that intermediary, but that in the end she asked her lawyer to withdraw the
offer, because she thought that accepting that money would have made her
feel "disgusting".
The actress assures that in 1997, during the Sundance Film Festival, her manager arranged a work appointment with Weinstein in a hotel restaurant. Upon her arrival, she was informed that he was waiting for her in her suite. Already there, after a brief work conversation and, when she was about to leave her, her alleged aggressor pointed out the bathtub in the room. "And then what happened happened," she says. "Suffice to say, a door opened and my life changed."
At that time, the actress reached a $ 100,000 agreement with Weinstein, but recently learned that it did not include a confidentiality clause, so she had been about to negotiate the $ 1 million offer that was offered to her this year. .
On Friday McGowan appeared at the Women's Convention in Detroit, where she said: “I've been silenced for 20 years. I have been embarrassed. I have been harassed. I have been defamed. And you know what? I'm like you." And then she added: "" But I'll tell you what I no longer feel: Despair ".
