Actress,xem sex loan luan khong che activist, and author Rose McGowan stopped by Good Morning America on Tuesday to discuss everything from "The Monster" Harvey Weinstein and her love of Twitter, to her memoir, Brave, which was released today.
The actress, who reached a settlement with Weinstein in the late '90s, is one of dozens of women to accuse the producer of sexual misconduct.
Since that damning New York Timesreport was published in October, McGowan has been very vocal on Twitter — both in criticizing the entertainment industry for a lack of action over the years and in empowering women to speak out about their own experiences.

McGowan went on to reveal that she tweeted about Weinstein's abuse prior to the New York Timespiece without naming him in hopes of starting a conversation.
"I put that out there as a clarion call," she said. "'Come on, journalists, let's go.' I said everything but the name, so draw your conclusions."

The 44-year-old was temporarily suspended from Twitter shortly after the New York Times report for including a private phone number in one of her tweets, which is prohibited in the site's Privacy Policy. The suspension sparked serious backlash for allegedly silencing McGowan's voice, and her account was quickly restored.
McGowan has since used Twitter to partake in the #MeToo campaign, started by Tarana Burke in 2006, and share her candid feelings on Weinstein.

"For me he's a sick person, he's a sick mind, but what about all the others? And there were so many," McGowan told GMAbefore describing a troubling on-camera encounter she had with Weinstein at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.
"A lot of victims and survivors will say they detach and you really do," she said. "You float up above your body because you’re trying to figure out ... Literally when he grabbed me I was thinking, 'Oh I hope I still have lipstick on for the camera.'"
"Everybody knew. I know that, I was there."
"Your brain is in another place and all of a sudden your body is like, ‘What, what, what,'" she went on. "This is not what I expected at 10 in the morning."
Though many of the allegations took years to make it into the spotlight, McGowan said everyone in the industry knew.
"Everybody knew. I know that, I was there," she said. "Truth isn't revolutionary, it's just the truth."
McGowan is also set to star in a five-part documentary series called Citizen Rose, which premieres Jan. 30 on E!.
