Following an investigation into items left on United Airlines flight from LA to Washington Dulles airport in January, in which traces of a controlled substance were found. These items reportedly belong to Rose McGowen, and that is the reason for the warrant. The warrant follows McGowen's accusations of Harvey Weinstein of rape at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997, and on Monday, the actress took to Twitter and said "Are they trying to silence me?", attacking the arrest warrant.
Despite the inauspicious occasion of the Weinstein scandal, McGowen cannot place the blame on that; the possession of controlled substances without a doctor's order is illegal. The situation presented mirrors the Kevin Spacey scandal, in that they both involve sexual assault allegation from the past that are just now having light shed on them.
I don't blame her for trying to find some escape after the horror of sexual assault, but I don't condone her bringing anything through an airline.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she can blame the arrest on Harvey. I get that some people take to drugs after experiencing traumatic experiences like rape but at the same time, she shouldn't have left anything at the airport.
