Rose McGowan spoke in support of Lindsey Boylan regarding allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, according to Fox News.
“I completely stand by Lindsey Boylan. Its truth leaks from every word on the screen that she wrote,” McGowan said.
“She, none of us, should endure what she endured. If they’re doing it to her, what are they doing to constituents? What is he going to do to what he considers the little people? It’s monstrous.”
“As we said before, Ms. Boylan’s claims of inappropriate behavior are quite simply false,” Cuomo’s press secretary, Caitlin Girouard said.
“The fact that [Cuomo] was still doing it after the Weinstein allegations and during the #MeToo movement is egregious and disgusting,” McGowan said. “It just shows the level of sociopathy that those at the highest levels of power have.”
“Imagine how tired Lindsey Boylan is? She just wants to go to work and do her job, something she studied for, worked hard for, fought for and fought to make a difference in a way she knows how,” McGowan said. “She has to be scared of being alone with a man who’s her superior? It’s so unfair.”
“What Cuomo’s office sounds like is there’s so many women who helped him do this to other women. Think of all the men in that office that also know and just keep moving up the line and they just get promoted. It’s horrible and it’s criminal,” McGowan claimed.
“It’s not just taxpayer dollars that go to fund these people’s lifestyles. It’s power. They put messages into our minds.”
“It’s time for some God d–n honesty. Sometimes truth hurts and it’s not pretty but guess what? We get cleaned,” she said. “Look what happened to Tara Reade, what the machine is going to do to Lindsey Boylan, look what they’ve done to me. These are powerful predators but it is so important that all of us remember we have power too.”
“What I would like to see is Cuomo out. What I would like to see is their network of evil out. It’s the only way the good people can rise, be it Democrats or Republicans,” McGowan said.
“I would like to see an honest investigation. I would like that position of power to be filled by somebody who is not dangerous and a bully and intimidating and threatening because that’s what sexual harassment is. It’s power abuse. It’s trying to make the little person feel small.”
“For members of a cult, truth is like a taser to the brain. It hurts. And they have to protect their omissions and their illusory world that they live in at all costs — and what that means is staying silent and not sticking your neck out.”
From Fox News:
McGowan, who moved from the United States to Mexico in 2020, also called out those in the media failing to cover such unavoidable accusations.
Boylan’s allegations emerged as the embattled governor faces calls to resign over the state’s handling of its nursing home crisis during the coronavirus pandemic. Federal authorities have begun an investigation into the matter, though Cuomo has not been personally accused of any wrongdoing and has maintained his office acted properly.
