The actress and #MeToo activist Rose McGowan has made serious allegations against the director Alexander Payne (59).
The US actress Rose McGowan (46, "Charmed – Magical Witches") was one of the first women who accused the fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein (68) of sexual assault. With her book "Courageous", among other things, she became a central figure in the #MeToo movement. Now McGowan raises allegations against the director and screenwriter Alexander Payne (59).
McGowan was in Payne's apartment in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, when the incident occurred, she recalls in a tweet. She was supposed to sit down and he let a softcore porn run which he directed under a different name for the US broadcaster Showtime. She also suggests that she remembers that Payne was "well stocked". Then he dropped her off on some street corner. McGowan does not explain what exactly should have happened. Everything happened when she was only 15 years old – more than 30 years ago.
The actress and #MeToo activist have no plans to "destroy" Payne, she explains in another tweetwhich also contains an old photo of her where she is 15 years old. You ask "only a confirmation and an apology". The director has not yet commented on the allegation.
