Rose McGowan called it “Hollywood fakery’ as many actresses came together in solidarity at Sunday’s Golden Globes to protest sexual misconduct by wearing black. McGowan, a Harvey Weinstein accuser who has been at the forefront of the #MeToo movement and speaking out about harassment and abuse in the industry, previously slammed celebrities who wanted to wear black to the annual event.  When fellow Weinstein-accuser, actress Asia Argento, tweeted at McGowan on Sunday: “No one should forget that you were the first one who broke the silence. Anyone who tries to diminish your work is a troll and an enemy of the movement. You gave me the courage to speak out. I am on your side until I die.” McGowan responded, “And not one of those fancy people wearing black to honor our rapes would have lifted a finger had it not been so. I have no time for Hollywood fakery, but you I love.”
