Atriz Rose McGowan acusa realizador Alexander Payne de violação: “Deixaste-me numa esquina. Eu tinha 15 anos”

A atriz Rose McGowan acusou o realizador Alexander Payne de a ter violado quando esta tinha quinze anos. A artista utilizou as redes sociais para acusar o responsável dos filmes como Sideways ou Os Descendentes.

"Mostraste-me um filme softcore em que tinhas trabalhado. Ainda me lembro do teu apartamento em Silverlake. És bem-dotado. Depois deixaste-me numa esquina. Eu tinha 15 anos", escreveu McGowan no Twitter. "Só quero que reconheças e que peças desculpas. Não quero destruir-te”, acrescentou.

Através do Instagram, a atriz sublinhou que a situação a deixou com vários traumas e que apenas o tempo a fez compreender que não tinha sido a própria a provocar a situação e que a atitude de Payne não tinha sido correta. "Sinto-me mal por atirar uma bomba na direção da vida e da carreira de alguém, mas julgo que isso é condicionamento social", disse.

McGowan afirma ainda que foi após a divulgação das histórias do realizador norte-americano Weinstein que pensou, pela primeira vez, em tornar a sua história pública.  "Estou mais triste que zangada. Triste pelo meu eu de 15 anos. Triste pela adulta que ainda acreditava que foi uma escolha que fiz. Quero que saibam que não é culpa vossa se vos aliciaram" alerta a atriz. 

Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name. I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15. pic.twitter.com/mVqiN4S9NW

Last night I dropped a bomb of truth. For years I had thought a man I had sexual relations with was a a sexual experience I had. I now know I was groomed. I auditioned for him at 15. After my experience with him, I quit acting entirely until I was ‘discovered’ at 21. When that happened, I was like, fuck it, let’s do this. I even tweeted a congratulations on his Oscar win in 2012, that’s how deep in the Cult of Hollywood I was. It wasn’t until three weeks after the Weinstein story broke that I re-evaluated the situation. I feel badly about throwing a bomb into someone’s life and career, but I guess that’s social conditioning. I’m more sad than angry. Sad for 15 year-old me. Sad for the adult me that still thought it was a choice I made. Grooming is real. I want you all to know that it’s not your fault if you were mentally massaged into thinking it’s okay. It is not. I know this now. I would even go up to this director at events and ask him, with a smile, “remember when you had sex with me at 15?” And I would laugh it off. That is deep societal programming. If you are out there trying to have sex with an underage minor, you are committing a crime, even if the minor doesn’t know it. I was attracted to him, so I thought it was on me, but that’s not correct. I was not an adult. When it happened, I’d recently been left behind in Hollywood by a family member to fend for myself. The wolves preyed. Please recognize that if this has happened to you, the shame is not yours, it’s theirs. Give it back. Groomers are skilled operators and at 15, I was not aware of the warning signs. I named him on Twitter, but since Instagram is my softer side, I just don’t want his name here. Goddess bless us all, except for those that abuse their power. Here’s to freedom, yours and mine.
