After Natalie Portman wore a cape to the Oscars with the names of the snubbed female directors stitched on it, Rose McGowan had some THOUGHTS in response: 'I am writing out of disgust. I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk.'
"Some thoughts on Natalie Portman and her Oscar 'protest.' The kind of protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media for its bravery. Brave? No, not by a long shot," McGowan began her post."More like an actress acting the part of someone who cares. As so many of them do."
"I'm not writing this out of bitterness, I am writing out of disgust," McGowan said."I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk." McGowan further explained why she's calling out Portman, writing,"I am singling you out because you are the latest in a long line of actresses who are acting the part of a woman who cares about other women. Actresses who supposedly stand for women, but in reality do not do much at all.""Of course women in the world will keep buying the perfumes you promote, the movies you make, and think they're buying into who you are. But who are you?" McGowan asked.
