![]() ![]() When asked who she believed was using #MeToo for PR, Greer alleged, "Rose McGowan. What they've got out of it is billions of dollars of free publicity," the writer said (via TheNational). "You sign the NDA and get paid a six-figure sum, you spend the money, and then think, 'I think I'll tell my story now.' And I'll tell you something else it's going to go nowhere. However, Greer opined, these same stars would eventually go public anyway. Greer claimed female actors might choose to sleep with men in return for a movie role, resulting in execs running to attorneys for NDAs in fear they'll be accused of sexual misconduct. ![]() However, Baldwin wasn't done with McGowan he ramped the feud up a gear in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, claiming the actor is "a tragic front person for cause" and akin to "one of the Crips - the head of her own gang." Her response sparked a vicious social media war that became so heated that the SNL star announced he was quitting Twitter - which has become somewhat of a habit over the years. McGowan hit back hard, calling Baldwin a "baby man" and "scum bucket" in a series of tweets. McGowan complied and publicly apologized to Argento, who celebrated by getting a " revenge tattoo" - a dagger with a single drop of blood.Ä«rown grilled Baldwin about his reputation for "bullying" women and pressed him to "define" how his past actions differed from "harassment" or "misconduct." Baldwin explained, "we just innately treat women differently because men have typically been in charge" before going on to admit, "and that's something I think needs to change." The conversation inevitably turned to Harvey Weinstein, and Baldwin criticized Rose McGowan for reportedly agreeing to take a $100,000 settlement fee instead of taking her accused rapist to court. According to a statement published by Rolling Stone, McGowan claimed Argento had allegedly told her then-partner Rain Dove that "she'd been receiving unsolicited nudes of Jimmy since he had been 12." Argento immediately shot back, threatening to sue McGowan for "substantial damages for deception, fraud, coercion, and libel" unless she retracted her "false statements" (via Deadline). Rose McGowan waited a week before responding in a statement to the press, expressing her support for Bennett, severing her friendship with Argento, and adding some explosive accusations of her own. Argento vehemently denied the allegations, insisting Bourdain had given Bennett the money to help him through a financially challenging time. Per The Guardian, Jimmy Bennett alleged the actor sexually assaulted him in 2013 when he was 17-years old. However, cracks began to appear two months later after Argento was accused of paying $380,000 to a former co-star. The June 2018 suicide of Argento's partner, Anthony Bourdain, strengthened their relationship further, as McGowan comforted her friend following the tragedy.
