Actress Rose McGowan has slammed actresses like Meryl Streep who plan to wear black at the Golden Globes as a symbol of protest against sexual harassment in Hollywood.
McGowan is one of the first of several women to accuse movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct.
"Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest," she wrote on Twitter, referring to Weinstein.
"YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You'll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa," McGowan continued, referring to the fashion line designed by Weinstein's estranged wife, Georgina Chapman.
McGowan has deleted the tweet but the reaction sparked a conversation on Twitter where people called out the actress for attacking other women.
Fine, let a woman tell you. Attacking other women for not speaking up doesn’t solve problems. You don’t gain traction in a movement by ostracizing the people who haven’t spoken yet/choose not to speak. You and Rose are just giving me another reason to not be a feminist.

A few days ago, US Weekly reported that more than 30 female actresses who are attending and or presenting at the 2018 Golden Globes have vowed to wear all black to this year's ceremony.
