'This case is about a diabolical and illegal effort by one of America’s most powerful men and his representatives to silence sexual-assault victims. And it is about the courageous women and journalists who persisted to reveal the truth.' Via guardian
The actor Rose McGowan alleges in a new lawsuit that the film mogul Harvey Weinstein took “diabolical” actions when he learned she was going to write in a memoir that the producer had raped her decades prior, engaging a team of fixers, lawyers and an international spy agency to intimidate and silence her.
McGowan’s attorneys said in a statement that the defendants used unlawful tactics in “a sprawling smear campaign to defraud, malign, and marginalize McGowan”. McGowan claims in the suit that as she began work on a memoir, Brave, in which she planned to describe her allegations that Weinstein raped her in 1997, Weinstein enlisted Black Cube to obtain information about her book by posing as an advocate for women. Weinstein’s lawyer Phyllis Kupferstein told the Hollywood Reporter in response to the complaint that the claims were baseless.
McGowan was one of the earliest and most prominent of dozens of women, many of them celebrities, to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct. In fall 2017, the New York Times and the New Yorker began publishing claims of sexual harassment and abuse allegations against Weinstein that helped spark the #MeToo movement and a national reckoning about workplace harassment and sexual assault, exposing many other powerful men.
