Two ladies. Two opinions of Harvey Weinstein.
But are they really two opinions, or just the same one from two ladies?
Rosanna Arquette says the producer took liberties with her. She recently tweeted, “I’ll never forget when you Harvey Weinstein … when you told me that I was making a big mistake … and I told you I’ll never be that girl. I’ll never forget when you told me look what you did for an Oscar winners career (a lie).”

She added, “It’s a shame you’ve abused your power because you did have some great taste in films but you’ve Hurt threatened and destroyed so many people’s careers and still continue playing the sympathy card. We know the powerful people who feel sorry for you, but why? blackmail?”
Actress Rose McGowan also took to Twitter, writing: “I didn’t forget you, Harvey. My body didn’t forget you. I wish it could. I refused to sign an NDA after it happened because I knew I would come for you. And I did. This is about stopping a prolific rapist. You.”
McGowan, according to Page Six, “was one of the first women to publicly speak out against Weinstein, claiming he sexually assaulted her in a hotel in 1997. She alleges that he later enlisted a team of “fixers” to silence her when she came out with rape allegations against him and tried to sideline her career.”
A formal statement signed by 23 of his accusers provided to the Los Angeles Times reads as follows: “Harvey Weinstein is trying to gaslight society again. He says in a new interview he doesn’t want to be forgotten. Well, he won’t be. He will be remembered as a sexual predator and an unrepentant abuser who took everything and deserves nothing. He will be remembered by the collective will of countless women who stood up and said enough. We refuse to let this predator rewrite his legacy of abuse.”
“Two of Weinstein’s most high-profile and vocal alleged survivors, actresses Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd, penned their names in resistance,” the Times reported. “The other signatories were Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Barth, Zoe Brock, Rowena Chiu, Caitlin Dulany, Dawn Dunning, Lucia Evans, Louisette Geiss, Louise Godbold, Larissa Gomes, Dominique Huett, Katherine Kendall, Jasmine Lobe, Sarah Ann Masse, Emily Nestor, Tomi-Ann Roberts, Erika Rosenbaum, Melissa Sagemiller, Lauren Sivan, Melissa Thompson and Paula Williams.”
