The actress says she will continue her work behalf of victims everywhere.
Rose McGowan is speaking out about her relationship with Asia Argento, one of the first stars to publicly accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, on the heels of a scathing New York Times report that claims Argento paid off a sexual assault accuser of her own.

Rose McGowan, who blew the lid off of the Weinstein story last October, has been a staunch supporter of Argento after they shared stories of allegedly being attacked by Weinstein. Argento once described Weinstein as a “monster rapist.”
McGowan took to Twitter to respond to the new allegations against Argento.
“I got to know Asia Argento ten months ago. Our commonality is the shared pain of being assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. My heart is broken. I will continue my work on behalf of victims everywhere.”
McGowan also recently supported Argento, a mom of two, following the suicide death of her boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain. McGowan warned Bourdain’s fans not to blame Argento for the death of the celebrity chef, who had struggled with depression, urging them not to point fingers at the 42-year-old actress for not getting him help.
McGowan went on to say that Argento worked through her own struggles with depression after coming forward with harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein. McGowan said Argento “did the work to get help, so she could stay alive and live another day for her and her children.”
