Now Rose McGowan Is Campaigning For Larry Elder, Claims Newsom's Wife Tried to Silence Her About Weinstein

Actress Rose McGowan participated in a campaign event for Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder over the weekend in which she made claims about Jennifer Siebel Newsom calling her on behalf of Harvey Weinstein's lawyer.

McGowan announced earlier this year that she had moved permanently to Mexico, saying that she knew it was "going to get really bad in America" and decided to leave after her lease was up in New York. But now the former Charmed star is participating in California politics and expressing her disdain for the Democratic Party as well as the Newsoms specifically, making claims that the Newsoms say are lies.

In a Sunday Twitter thread titled "The Newsom Weinstein Connection," McGowan says that Jennifer Siebel Newsom called her on the phone in December 2017, a few months before the New York Times published its bombshell piece about all the assault accusations against Weinstein. McGowan reprinted an email she claims Siebel Newsom sent to a group of Weinstein victims, discussing her distant connection to David Boies, the high-powered attorney who represented Al Gore in Bush v. Gore,  and also has represented Theranos and sat on its board of directors. Boies's firm allegedly directed the corporate intelligence firm Black Cube to spy on Weinstein victims in an effort to suppress the story the Times was working on.

McGowan claims that Siebel Newsom called her and said, "David Boies wants to know what it would take to make you happy."

At Sunday's campaign event, Elder took to the podium and called McGowan's claim "a bombshell."

In response, a spokesperson for Siebel Newsom called the claim "a complete fabrication."

"It's disappointing but not surprising to see political opponents launch these false attacks just days before the election," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Their limited correspondence has been strictly as fellow survivors of sexual assault and in Jennifer's former capacity leading the Representation Project, an organization that fights limiting gender stereotypes and norms."
