Whether fair or not, Rose McGowan isn't just a victim in this. She's rised above and has become a figurehead and brave rolemodel. She's definitely used that platform to speak out about the culture, including accusing those she believes were complicit and hasn't been afraid of calling them out. For example, her feud and nasty words with Milano because Milano associated with Weinstein's ex-wife.
So there is a hypocrisy that should be called out for McGowan arguing to wait and see about the facts in this case only. To be gentle because she's a friend, or female, or whatever the case made be is going against what she has been preaching for the last year.
Right now the facts are that a director promised a young underage actor, who saw the director as a mentor, a spot in her movie after having sex with her that resulted in a sexual assault settlement. If the genders were reversed it would be comparable to what happen to McGowan and many other woman with Weinstein.
