#7: Rose McGowan

In the tumultuous landscape of Hollywood, Rose McGowan emerged as a courageous figure when she raised her voice against the formidable Harvey Weinstein. When McGowan first came forward with allegations of harassment and abuse in 2017, her claims were met with disbelief and skepticism from various people within the entertainment industry.

Her outspokenness made her an outcast, with some branding her an attention-seeker or troublemaker. However, McGowan’s unwavering resolve and her willingness to endure isolation and backlash played a pivotal role in igniting the #MeToo movement. Her bravery sparked a global reckoning on harassment, laying bare a deeply ingrained culture of abuse.
