I have to say she does come across affected in her book signing video. Shes making a living the only way she can now as her movie career is all but over. I don't understand the anger towards the woman. Her story seems plausible to me so isn't criticising her equal to condemning those that have been falsely accused? The whole thing stinks of hypocrisy.
I don't think she's plausible, stripping off then climbing into a hot tub with him, then claiming a settlement (what kind of crime victim takes a settlement?), turning up virtually naked to the MTV awards the following year and standing smiling next to him at a 2007 film premiere. Judging from photos on Google, he even had his arm round her and it's not the only photo where she's posing smiling next to him (Google images).
JK2006 I don't go along with the anger either - rather as in British legal cases, where I blame police, CPS and the system ahead of the claimant, I blame the media exaggerating and pushing for a good story above the perpetrators involved in it.

Jo I have just watched the video of her at the book signing. What a harpy. She wouldn't be out of place on a street corner with a bottle. It is surprising that people are applauding her antics.

From the article, it looks as if her manager thought at the time that McGowan was embellishing her story. Stripping off and climbing into a hot tub with him, taking a settlement, then crying rape years later. She sounds like a willing member of the casting couch who decided to cash in, then cry rape years later to promote herself and sell a book.

McGowan is a complete fanatic as can be seen in that video of her responding to a transgender woman at her book signing.

It's amazing that no-one has questioned her or even spotted the careful planning of her book release and her timing as to when she made her first statement.

I'm not buying her rape claim. You do NOT go to a top producer's bedroom (one who everyone knew loved starlets) and get into his hot tub.
I reckon she did the old casting couch number and has no re-framed this as an assault.

Doesn't mean the Casting Couch system is right but there isn't a soul who enters Hollywood who doesn't know it exists and it's up to them whether they want to participate.

One death, the absolute destruction of careers upon claims alone..the cowardice of Hollywood heavies like the Oscar's Academy..the manner in which the media (even the respected ABC in Oz & Craig McLachan) jumping on the bandwagon to accuse & destroy without a thought of the results..all symptoms of a Witch Hunt?

I still like Marylin Monroe's description of Hollywood..a giant brothel.
