Rose McGowan, the star of “Scream” and “Charmed,” says she refuses to let the media reduce her “life’s work to a hotel room rape” despite the spotlight placed on her harrowing accusations against disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The actress, who has become a leading figure in the #MeToo movement since she accused Weinstein of raping her at a Sundance Film Festival hotel in the late ’90s, told TheWrap that the last year had been marked by extreme highs and lows.
“I had not anticipated the American — and I stress American — press tour being as salacious and triggering as it was,” she said.

Rose McGowan says her “heart is broken” following a report published by the New York Times on Sunday that Asia Argento had arranged a deal to pay a man who accused the Italian actress and filmmaker of sexually assaulting him when he was 17 in 2013. Rather than fully distancing herself from Argento however, activist McGowan suggests watchers “be gentle” as “the truth of the situation” surrounding Argento is not yet known.
McGowan and Argento have been steadfast allies in the past year, as staunch supporters of victims’ rights and the #MeToo movement. Both are also Harvey Weinstein accusers. Without directly referencing the Nyt revelations, McGowan tweeted early Monday morning, “I got to know Asia Argento ten months ago. Our commonality is the shared pain of being assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. My heart is broken. I will continue my work on behalf of victims everywhere.”

Rose McGowan has moved to distance herself from director-actress Asia Argento following the revelation Sunday night that Argento herself has been accused of sexual assault.
McGowan and Argento have been among the most prominent women to come forward with allegations of rape against now-disgraced film titan Harvey Weinstein, who is facing criminal charges in New York unrelated to McGowan or Argento.
McGowan has become a vocal activist on behalf of sexual assault victims. In a tweet sent early Monday, the former “Charmed” star said she her “heart is broken” by the New York Times’ expose published Sunday that Argento reached a $380,000 settlement with actor-musician Jimmy Bennett, who claims Argento sexually assaulted him in a hotel room when he was 17.

Gone are the days when HBO, PBS and Showtime ruled the documentary marketplace. Netflix and Amazon — as well as the recent emergence of digital distributors including Apple, Facebook, Hulu and YouTube Red — have changed the face of the docu genre: There is a newfound excitement around unscripted projects. But with the rapid nonfiction platform expansion has come a strong demand for content — and not just any old content. Content that taps into the cultural zeitgeist. Content that tackles the latest headlines. Content that audiences want to better understand. Or at least try and understand.
Major players in the docs field such as Netflix, as well as unlikely networks like E!, are clamoring for topical documentaries about issues including the Trump presidency and movements like Black Lives Matter, #MeToo and Never Again.
“Clearly people are consumed with these stories, and many top-tier broadcaster networks are looking to capitalize on that,” says Justin Wilkes,...

Domestic violence and sexual assault against women is an international epidemic. Rose McGowan understands this fact first hand. However, the hard truth was further emphasized during a visit with Asia Argento to the "Mural Contro Il Femminicidio" in Italy. In this clip from Thursday's Citizen Rose finale, McGowan is moved to tears as she accompanies fellow actress Argento to a daunting mural which represents those who've died at the hands of domestic violence. "All of these represent one of the many," Asia somberly reflects. "One woman every three days gets killed in Italy from their person that was telling them they loved them." Understandably, the Charmed alum was...

Rose McGowan took to Instagram to respond to Harvey Weinstein’s indictment with a trailer for her E! show Citizen Rose as well as a lengthy post that started with “Indicted. Finally. I’ve been indicted by the media he’s bought out for years to trash me.”
The post continues to say “Who I am has been told to the world for me in magazines, newspapers, blogs, videos, tabloids.”
She continued, “The narrative of me—my story—has been sold to you as a work of fiction. The media often cuts you when they can, especially if they’ve been paid off to – the journalists and reporters who are safe in their cubicles and do not have to drown in your tears or see the bruises. All they see is numbers. Views. Ratings. And all you were told is that I was a horror show. Someone damaged. Someone off-kilter.

Rose McGowan has had quite the year, and we know this because starting back in August 2017, she started letting people into her life on an intimate level. Her Tweets had already grown more personal, she was writing the soon-to-be-published memoir “Brave,” and — perhaps her boldest decision — she had partnered with Bunim-Murray Productions to start following her around as she pursued her activist causes and dealt with years of pain following her alleged sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein.
The result of her having the courage to put her life on display in this way was the docuseries “Citizen Rose,” which initially debuted as a two-hour special in January 2018, and is now joined by three follow-up episodes that begin airing Thursday on E!.

The actress, whose memoir “Brave” was recently published, says she was “verbally assaulted” and that everyone in the room — including her own publicists, assistants, and managers — are complicit due to their lack of action.
The verbal altercation, which took place during the Q&A section of McGowan’s appearance at a Barnes & Noble, related to comments McGowan made on RuPaul’s “What the Tee?” podcast. “I have a suggestion.

That’s Rose McGowan, who’s been sandblasting her way through the promotional circuit this week to promote her memoir, “Brave,” and the E! series “Citizen Rose.” Once written off as a shrill loon, she’s developed a homegrown culture jamming, rejecting conventional etiquette in a quest to destabilize masculine conventions.

She spent the first stage of her acting career contending with performances that restricted her potential and simmered with silent rage against the misogynistic industry that put her on the map.

One of the first things we learn from “Citizen Rose,” the two-hour documentary special featuring the personal journey of Rose McGowan, is that an MTV video crew was following her the day she was assaulted in 1997, filming a “Day in the Life of Rose” special.
Footage from that moment is used briefly in an early sequence — a young McGowan as ’90s kids might remember her, looking happily into the camera as she enters a hotel room for her first meeting with “The Monster.” “And I said ‘I think my life is finally getting easier…’ and that haunted me,” she says in the present day, before collapsing into tears.
The red carpet and archival footage used in “Citizen Rose” has real impact, reminding us of her long-ago public image, one which did in fact leave an impression of “commodifying” her as the “bad girl” star of movies like “Scream” and “Jawbreaker.

There was no mention of Harvey Weinstein's name when Rose McGowan premiered her E! documentary series Citizen Rose on Tuesday night.
Though the disgraced Hollywood mogul precipitated the national reckoning on sexual harassment, and is directly tied to McGowan's story, leaving his name and likeness out of McGowan's personal and revealing two-hour documentary was a decision made by the actress, who talks about the triggering effects he has had for his dozens and dozens of victims, including herself, ever since his name has been proliferated in the news cycle.

Rose McGowan is documenting her mission to pull back the curtain on the dark side of Hollywood.
After calling out Meryl Streep in a since-deleted tweet last month for allegedly remaining silent about Harvey Weinstein — who McGowan claims sexually assaulted her in 1997 — the Charmed star, 44, expressed her feelings about the screen icon again during Tuesday’s Citizen Rose premiere on E!
“It was hard as f— to turn on the Academy Awards and see Meryl f—ing Streep calling him God,” McGowan told a fellow Weinstein accuser, Italian actress Asia Argento, referring to Streep’s acceptance speech at the 2012 ceremony.

Rose McGowan is holding nothing back on the promotional tour for her new book, “Brave,” and her E! limited series, “Citizen Rose.” During an appearance on the ABC daytime talk show “The View,” McGowan put Justin Timberlake on blast for supporting the Time’s Up and #MeToo anti-harassment movements while still choosing to star in a Woody Allen movie.

Speaking to her larger point about “Hollywood fakery,” McGowan said, “There’s Justin Timberlake hash-tagging “My wife looks hot tonight,” hashtag Time’s Up, hashtag I just did a movie with Woody Allen.”
“So come on, it is fake,” McGowan continued. “I wish everybody were good. I’m sorry to puncture your heroes but sometimes these heroes need to be better.”

In some ways, E!'s documentary series Citizen Rose would have been better if Rose McGowan was just the subject, not the subject, narrator and executive producer – if we could see the story of the woman who cracked open #metoo without feeling like we're living in her video diary. It would have felt cleaner, more reliable, much more digestible. But it would have missed the point entirely.

She will not be silenced. On the two-hour premiere of E!'s new five-part documentary Citizen Rose, former actress turned activist Rose McGowan is determined to speak her truth. Rose takes to the streets and has an encounter with a stranger that leads them both to further understanding of abuse and power. "I've never understood guys who do that. You know? What fun is that? There's no romance in that," the stranger tells Rose. "But you know something is wrong with them because in a normal mind you don't associate dominance or hurting someone with romance." Rose wants to get one thing straight: It's never about sex, it's about power....

Actress Asia Argento is sharing her traumatic story of sexual assault. On Tuesday night's premiere of Citizen Rose, Rose McGowan meets up with Asia in New York, where they compare stories of their alleged sexual assault by film producer Harvey Weinstein, or as Rose calls him, "the monster." While Rose was able to recount all the details of her assault, Asia confesses that she blocked out the trauma. "I can't even remember. I blocked everything," Asia reveals. The one thing the Italian actress wishes was that the experience hadn't hardened her. "I wish I was softer. It made me hard...It made me worse as a person," Asia laments. ...

Rose McGowan is headed for a change... E! News can confirm that McGowan's Hollywood Hills home is on the market.

Ever wonder what TV actors and writers get paid? Right now over a hundred people are anonymously speaking out and sharing how much they make via shared Google spreadsheets. The anonymous documents aim to help improve salary equality by creating transparency within the community as to who exactly is being paid what.
The two separate spreadsheets circulating online — one devoted to the salaries of TV writers, the other devoted to actors — not only list salaries, but ask for information regarding gender, whether or not the respondent is a person of color, as well as the studio and network for which they work.
While the actors sheet is no longer open for public viewing, the writers’ document is currently accessible here, and has over 100 responses, ranging from executive producers making $55,000 an episode to assistants making $500 a week.
