Rose McGowan calls Weinstein's claims 'sexist'

Los Angeles: Actor Rose McGowan has fired back at Harvey Weinstein for disputing her accusation that he sexual assaulted her in 1997. Weinstein, in a new statement via his lawyer, claimed that he had an email from her former manager which said that McGowan had told her that their encounter was "consensual" but she "regretted having done" it.
McGowan responded to the claims with a profanity-filled tweet before releasing a statement, reported Entertainment Weekly. "Yesterday's statement from Mr Weinstein and his attorney Ben Brafman unequivocally proves a continued attempt to malign, and 'slut shame' Rose McGowan. This is a sad, pathetic old-fashioned sexist attempt to undermine obvious truth, and the gaslighting will no longer be tolerated... Mr Weinstein's attempts to discredit Rose is part of his 20-year-long campaign to silence her," the statement said.
