Alexander Payne deserves nothing.

pretty crazy how no one has been really talking about this all season long

Her account did not add up to anything happening when she was 15, unless she’s been lying about her age. He was in college at the time she was 15 and he has never worked for Showtime.

interesting, i missed that follow up

He responded to this with a timeline that contradicts hers and it can be backed up. I think he’s slimy because at best he hooked up with her when she was 18/19 and he was 30 but his statement I recall had a verifiable timeline that indicates her story doesn’t add up.

Rose McGowan and I have always had very cordial interactions, and I have admired her commitment to activism and her voice in an important, historic movement. However, what she has said about me in recent social media posts is simply untrue.

Rose is mistaken in saying we met when she was fifteen, in the late 1980s. I was a full-time film student at UCLA from 1984 until 1990, and I know that our paths never crossed.

She claims that I showed her a “soft-core porn movie” I had directed for Showtime “under a different name.” This would have been impossible, since I had never directed anything professionally, lurid or otherwise. I have also never worked for Showtime or directed under any name other than my own.

Rose and I did meet years later, in 1991, during my first directing job, when she auditioned for a comic short I was making for a Playboy Channel series. Although she did not get the part, she left a note for me at the casting desk asking that I call her. I had no reason to question how old she was, since the role she read for required an actor who was of age. We later went out on a couple of dates and remained on friendly terms for years.

While I cannot allow false statements about events twenty-nine years ago to go uncorrected, I will continue to wish only the best for Rose.

has rose ever responded to this?

Yes she said fuck him and his lies and that she’d expose him but nothing came of it.

I can’t imagine though a journalist would not be interested in pursuing if there was merit. I believe that she’s been through a lot of trauma, and maybe she feels badly about what relationship they had in retrospect or is fuzzy about details. idk. but like he literally graduated from UCLA with an MFA in 1990.

The only thing I can think of to make her story make sense is if she lied about her age to get roles when she was starting out… but her wiki says she was born in 1973. She would’ve been 18 when they met.
