It’s been six months since Rose McGowan first revealed all about Harvey Weinstein; now the actress has done a tell-all interview with The Hollywood Reporter to speak further about the man she calls “The Monster”.
McGowan, 44, who is currently facing charges after cocaine was found in her wallet (something she claims was a setup), discusses everything from Weinstein to her new romance.
The actress says of her reputation: “If I was Reese Witherspoon, would I be treated like I am? The answer is no. But [the press] feels I’m fair game. I think it’s because [Weinstein] paid off the media for 20 years to savage me.”
McGowan, who was 23 when she claims to have been raped in a hotel room by the disgraced movie-maker, says that she doesn’t think Weinstein will ever go to prison.

“I hope I’m wrong. People do have to gather evidence, and that takes time. But if two women pointed somebody out that stole our purses, he’d be arrested.
“So how many women does it take to say he stole us? He stole our careers, stole our lives, stole our reputations. He stole how my family treats me, how men treat me, he stole all that.”
McGowan also candidly discusses with THR her meeting with Barack Obama: “I was very disappointed in him. It was after everything had come out, the height of it… I was sitting right in front of him, and he would not meet my eyes, and then at the last minute, he asked for Naomi Campbell to be put in a photo with us.”

She was hoping to hear “I’m sorry” or “Keep going, Rose.” However, she continues: “All he said was: ‘You ladies sure know how to pose.’ I wanted him to be better.”
Weinstein aside, McGowan also reveals she has a new partner but declines to name names.
“I’m with an activist and a very awake individual. When the wreckage of the past gets cleared away, you can see your future a lot more clearly. There are things I didn’t really know about myself.
“I’ve been a lot happier in this last month than I have been in a long time. It takes a very complex and adventurous human to want to be with me.”
