I’m sure you’ll say I am... but I’m watching the Rose McGowan documentary...

I understand and completely feel for her that she went through (two or more?) sexual assaults.

But I’m watching her documentary, and she talks a lot about ‘this one is awful because they didn’t speak out’ etc...

But she didn’t. (As so many didn’t.) and she took a settlement. It’s a bit hypocritical to call people out when you yourself didn’t speak out also?

Watching everyone wear black at the golden globes and wear roses at the Grammys is amazing... but surely everyone attacked after your settlement would be on your mind? Why attack everyone else?

Maybe I don’t get it, but I’m happy to corrected. Its frustrating to watch because she’s so gorgeous and brilliant in scream and planet terror... why take the silence pay?!

Well, I must remember to tell anyone I love who has suffered abuse, to only ever get angry or upset in a way that doesn’t offend the feelz of those who think they are dealing with it wrong.

SMFH.

I am very glad and have enormous respect that she is being 100% raw and real on her so called ‘platform’. It’s about time that the world was confronted with the cold hard reality of the Soul fuckery that is abuse. Deal with it. It’s fucking Ugly, regardless of the financial/public status of the abused.

Everyone can see she’s extremely vulnerable at the moment.

She needs people to support her, not pick her apart Angry

Lizzie, she’s no more vulnerable than the other victims she is happy to tear into, and she’s no more vulnerable than her friend victor salva’ s child victims.

LizzieSiddal · 05/02/2018 22:54

I didn’t say she was more vulnerable than them. I’m only making an observation based on what I’ve seen of her over the past few weeks. She appears to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I think she needs help and public support, not people tearing her apart.

It's quite amazing to see the gymnastics being performed to make sure that there is a woman to blame in all this.

Because goodness forbid we blame actual rapists eh, that would be too easy. Nonononononono, we must find victims to blame! If not for the actual rape then at LEAST for not being the perfect victim.

Fucking disgusting.
