In the wake of the shocking revelations about Harvey Weinstein and his abuse of power against women who worked with him over the years, one more outspoken voice against him has been actress Rose McGowan. Now, the former “Scream” star is revealing that Weinstein attempted to pay for her silence just days before the news came out. In an in-depth interview with The New York Times, McGowan admitted, through her lawyer, that someone close to Weinstein approached her with a very lucrative offer of $1 million in exchange for her signing a nondisclosure agreement. While attending the Sundance Film Festival, the actress met Weinstein at a hotel where she was instructed to go to his room. However, that settlement did not include a confidentiality clause, which McGowan says she wasn’t aware of until last year.
