Within a week of the first breaking Weinstein news, McGowan's Twitter account was suspended, drawing uproar from her supporters (Twitter explained why in a statement). She remained at the forefront of the #MeToo movement after her suspension and rallied her supporters into #ROSEARMY and a full feminist revolution.
In the book, McGowan details her experience in Hollywood, much of which included being ruthlessly sexualized for profit and publicity – a system which she outright rejected.
“Rose McGowan’s courage in addressing sexual abuse and harassment in Hollywood ignited a conversation and inspired other women to speak out against their abusers,” said E’s Executive Vice President, Development and Production, per Entertainment Weekly. “We look forward to taking viewers inside this talented, dynamic woman’s world as the first allegations unfold and she becomes a leading voice in a critical cultural change.”
