First, McGowan alleged from her Twitter account on Monday that the two-time Academy Award winner showed her a softcore porn he had directed for Showtime in his Silverlake apartment before dropping her off on a street corner.
“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,” she tweeted.

McGowan then followed up the allegation with a lengthy Instagram post in which she said that she initially thought her “sexual experience” with Payne at age 15 was just a sexual experience.
“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,” she alleged. “When that happened, I was like, f**k 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,” she continued. “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.”
McGowan then advised people in similar situations to retrain their brain into understanding that what they experienced at such a young age was not a sexual encounter, but a crime.
“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,” she said. “I was attracted to him, so I thought it was on me, but that’s not correct. I was not an adult.”
McGowan concluded her post by warning people to spot groomers when they see them, likening them to “wolves.”

Payne would have been 27 when McGowan was 15 in 1988. He has not responded to the accusation as of this writing.
McGowan was one of a handful of women who accused disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape when the #MeToo movement first kicked off in 2017. She most recently made headlines by calling for the arrest of Bill Clinton for his relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She also chastised the DNC for inviting Bill Clinton to speak at the convention despite the allegations that he visited convicted Epstein’s sex island in the Caribbean.
“I voted for @JohnKerry in 2004, @BarackObama in 2008 and 2012, and @HillaryClinton in 2016. And I am tired. Tired of watching @TheDemocrats sell out to corporations then use the fascist GOP as cover for their complicity. I didn’t leave the Democratic party. The party left me,” tweeted Ryan Knight.
McGowan responded, “Bill Clinton speaking at the DNC’s convention is the COMPLICITY MACHINE AT WORK. YOU DO NOT SUPPORT SURVIVORS. A lesser of two evils is still evil. The @ProudSocialist is correct. Burn it all down. By the people and for the people!”

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom.

Rose is one of them, a baby eater who is using the whole “violence against women, despite the proof that sexual crimes are committed against women, men, boys and girls”, to once again try to defuse the whole pedophilia scandal coming out to get people to focus on her victim status.
that person never supported Corey Feldman. She never came out against child sex trafficking. She hates men, and is a profiteer of the left. Get with the program, remember how Jennifer Lawrence told everyone to “Leave Harvey Alone”.
Rose’s silence when it comes to Hollywood, Epstein, and Stars, is disgusting, narcissistic and selfish grifter behaviour par excellance.
