Amber Tamblyn didn’t appreciate Rose McGowan’s tweets about the actresses who plan to wear black to the Golden Globes in protest of sexual harassment.
“Rose McGowan is a friend and while I support her kind of movement, I do not support any woman (or man) shaming or taunting the movements of other women who are trying to create change. Telling us to all wear Marchesa? This is beneath you, Rose,” Tamblyn tweeted on Sunday, December 17. “Our movement is big. And a black dress is just the beginning of the darkness that will be drained from every industry across the country by the time we’re done. That’s a promise.”

McGowan’s Charmed costar Holly Marie Combs quickly came to her defense. “You just did to @rosemcgowan what you claim you don’t support her doing to others. Every activist for every cause the world over has different methods but share a common and more important message that should remain the same,” Combs tweeted, which McGowan later retweeted. “And undiluted above all else.”
Tamblyn, 34, responded: “Her statement was public and hurtful to some women so a public response was earned. I spoke to her at length today, she knows how I feel. I love Rose fiercely, that will never change. To be critical of an action is not to condemn the person behind it. There’s your common message.”
The actresses’ discussion kicked off after McGowan, 44, blasted celebrities including Meryl Streep — who have appeared in Harvey Weinstein’s films.
“Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest,” McGowan wrote. “YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should wear Marchesa,” she added, referencing Weinstein’s estranged wife Georgina Chapman’s fashion line.
As Us Weekly previously reported, as many as 30 actresses will attend the January 7 Golden Globes in dark gowns to show their solidarity in the fight against discrimination and to show support for victims of sexual assault and harassment.
McGowan, who claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Weinstein and reportedly received a hefty payout from him, has been outspoken in the wake of the sexual misconduct scandal that is rocking Hollywood.
