Rose McGowan criticizes Oprah Winfrey over Harvey Weinstein, calls beloved mogul ‘fake as they come’

Rose McGowan has set her ire on Oprah Winfrey.

The actress, sexual assault survivor and activist shared her thoughts about the beloved billionaire media mogul — and it was not very complimentary.

“I am glad more are seeing the ugly truth of @Oprah. I wish she were real, but she isn’t,” McGowan tweeted, sharing an old photo Oprah kissing embattled producer Harvey Weinstein on the cheek. “From being pals with Weinstein to abandoning & destroying Russell [Simmons’] victims, she is about supporting a sick power structure for personal gain, she is as fake as they come. #lizard.”

The “Charmed” star’s criticism has also initiated a wider conversation surrounding Winfrey’s ties to Weinstein and Simmons, both of whom have both been accused of sexual misconduct, with Weinstein being criminally convicted of related crimes.

McGowan was one of the first of dozens of women to accuse the once powerful film studio heavyweight of rape, which he has denied. His long list of alleged sexual assaults was the catalyst for the #MeToo movement.

In March 2020, the disgraced movie producer was sentenced to 23 years for criminal sex convictions and rape.

Simmons, the Def Jam Recordings co-founder, was also accused of rape and sexual misconduct by 20 women, including former music executive Drew Dixon — the primary subject of the explosive 2020 documentary “On the Record.”

The 63-year rap impresario denied the accusations and wrote an open letter to Winfrey, who was initially attached to produce the documentary about sexual assault in the music industry.

Shortly after, Winfrey dropped out as a producer of the project, which ultimately was acquired by HBO Max amid the controversy.

McGowan’s tweet followed the resurfacing of a decades-old interview the former talk show host conducted with Dolly Parton, where some social media users questioned the motive behind some of her questions, about cosmetic-surgery procedures and the country superstar’s depression.
