Actress Rose McGowan recently criticized Oprah Winfrey on Twitter, accusing her of supporting a corrupt power structure. McGowan, who has been vocal about her own experience with Harvey Weinstein, called Oprah “fake” for her past associations with Weinstein and for undermining the victims of Russell Simmons. McGowan pointed to Oprah’s role in the 2013 film The Butler, which was distributed by the Weinstein Company, and Oprah’s admission of being “friendly” with Weinstein without knowing about his abuse. McGowan’s tweet sparked controversy, particularly among Oprah’s supporters, and reignited debates about accountability in Hollywood and the #MeToo movement.
McGowan’s comments also coincided with her involvement in a legal and political drama surrounding California Governor Gavin Newsom. Conservative sources claim Newsom’s wife reached out to McGowan, asking her to stay silent. This ongoing controversy highlights McGowan’s willingness to challenge powerful figures and the complex dynamics within the #MeToo movement, emphasizing the need for transparency and justice.
