ROSE MCGOWAN WHO HAS BEEN VERY VOCAL AGAINST HARVEY
WEINSTEIN ON TWITTER HAD HER ACCOUNT TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.
SHE POSTED ABOUT IT ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES LIKE
INSTAGRAM.
SHE RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM TWITTER TELLING HER THAT SHE HAD
VIOLATED HER TERMS OF SERVICE AND WOULD BE LOCKED OUT.
AND THEN 12 HOURS LATER THEY WOULD REINSTATE THE ACCOUNT.
THEY APPARENTLY FINALLY EXPLAINED WHY THEY
SUSPENDED HER ACCOUNT, I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
>> IN THE MEANWHILE PEOPLE WENT NUTS, UNDERSTANDABLY SO.
SINCE THEY DIDN'T GET AN EXPLANATION THEY THOUGHT ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?
ARE YOU SAYING THAT HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S TWEETS WERE
HURTFUL?
TO BE FAIR TO TWITTER, THEY HAVE TO GET SOME OF THOSE
DOWN, BUT OF COURSE WHEN MILO AND THE TROLLS WENT AFTER
LESLIE JONES THEY EVENTUALLY DID BAN HIM.
I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WERE MAD, WE GET IT.
WHAT HARVEY WEINSTEIN DID WAS TERRIBLE.
TO SHUT ROSE MCGOWAN'S VOICE DOWN AFTER WHAT HARVEY DID
TO HER WOULD'VE BEEN ATROCIOUS.
BUT I THINK TWITTER'S EXPLANATION IS CORRECT.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT DOT IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE DIDN'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHY HER ACCOUNT WAS SUSPENDED I REMEMBER BEING
OUTRAGED.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF ABUSE THAT IS ON
TWITTER ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT GOES UNCHECKED.
IT HAS BEEN A COMMON CRITICISM TOWARD TWITTER.
TO SEE THAT HER ACCOUNT WAS SUSPENDED REALLY MADE ME
RAISE MY EYEBROWS AS WELL.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR POINT IS, YOU CAN'T TWEET OUT
PEOPLE'S PERSONAL INFORMATION.
JUST DON'T DO IT.
>>I THINK SHE DID IT BY ACCIDENT.
I THINK WHAT SHE WAS DOING WAS PUTTING UP THIS MESSAGE,
BUT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES I THINK IT MIGHT BE
UNDERSTANDABLE THAT SHE RELEASED IT.
EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER THEY THINK IS RIGHT.
I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO DO A VALUE JUDGMENT ON WHETHER OR NOT
SHE WAS RIGHT TO RELEASE PRIVATE MESSAGES WHEN SHE WAS SEXUALLY
HARASSED BY HARVEY WEINSTEIN.
I THINK SHE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT A PHONE NUMBER ON THERE AND
DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
AND THEN TWITTER SAYS YOU CAN DO THAT, BUT EITHER WAY YOU CAN'T
DO THAT.
I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PUT OUT PHONE
NUMBERS AND ACCIDENTALLY ñ ONCE YOU TAKE DOWN THAT
INFORMATION THEN IT IS NO LONGER BLOCKED.
>>I AM NOT IN HER MIND SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HER INTENT WAS.
I THINK SHE WAS ABLE TO SPEAK OUT AS AGGRESSIVELY AS SHE
WANTS ON TWITTER.
ALL I'M SAYING IS PEOPLE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH THEIR
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
PEOPLE DO THAT VERY INTENTIONALLY, AGAIN I DON'T
KNOW WHAT ROSE MCGOWAN, WHAT HER INTENT WAS, BUT YOU JUST
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
>>IN THE BEGINNING MAYBE PEOPLE THOUGHT MAYBE THEY ARE GOING
AFTER HER BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING AFTER BOB WEINSTEIN, AND
BEN AFFLECK AND OTHER POWERFUL PEOPLE FOR NOT DOING ENOUGH.
SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO CALL OUT WHOEVER SHE LIKES.
ON THAT OF COURSE WE AGREE SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
LET ME AND ON THIS, TMC IS REPORTING THAT BOB
WEINSTEIN, THE BROTHER MIGHT'VE BEEN THE ONE THAT LEADS TO
THE NEW YORK TIMES.
EDISON SERIOUS DRAMA THERE.
BOB WEINSTEIN WROTE, A DIRECT QUOTE.
" HE SAID MY BROTHER HARVEY IS A VERY SICK MAN, I URGED HIM
TO SEEK HELP BECAUSE HE IS IN DIRE NEED OF IT.
HIS REMORSE AND APOLOGIES TO THE VICTIMS OF THE ABUSE ARE
HOLLOW."
HE MIGHT'VE BEEN DOING THAT TO COVER HIS OWN ASS AND
THE COMPANY.
BUT IF HE WAS THE ONE THAT
LEAKED IN THE 1ST PL., HARVEY
WEINSTEIN HAS DONE A LOT OF POWER PLAYS IN HIS LIFE,
AND SOME OF THEM ATROCIOUS.
IF HE WAS A VICTIM OF A POWER PLAY AT THE END THAT SEEMS
QUITE FITTING.
