Rose McGowan claims she was raped by Harvey Weinstein – and says Amazon boss Jeff Bezos canned her TV show after she complained to studio boss
ROSE McGowan claims Harvey Weinstein raped her - as she accused Amazon of killing her TV show when she demanded the shamed movie mogul not be involved.
The actress made the explosive claims for the first time after apparently being paid £75,000 by the producer over an "incident" in the 1990s.
Amazon told : "Roy Price is on leave of absence effective immediately", adding: "We are reviewing our options for our projects we have with the Weinstein Company.”
McGowan's Twitter page was suspended on Wednesday but she launched into her rant at the Amazon founder after it was re-opened today.
The actress has been blasting others in Hollywood - including actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon - for failing to step up when they allegedly knew what was happening.
Sleazy Hollywood mogul Weinstein , 65, has been hit by a wave of sex allegations, which he denies.
"Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein," Weinstein's representative Sallie Hofmeister said yesterday.
Kate Beckinsale revealed today how Weinstein targeted her in London when she was just 17.
And fellow Brit Myleene Klass said she was offered a sex contract by the exec, but she told him to "f*** off".
Brit actress Emma Thompson claimed the Weinstein scandal “is just the tip of the iceberg”.
The Love Actually star, 58, said of the allegations: “They don’t surprise me at all and they’re endemic to the system.”
