Rose McGowan, the woman who helped take down Harvey Weinstein, is now accusing liberal talk show host Bill Maher of sexual harassment. She posted it on Twitter [caution, explicit language]:
@BillMaher Here’s a memory I’d like to share with you. I bet you don’t remember, but I sure do. I was so excited to be on your show & get to flex my mind instead of my face. Here’s what happened. All I can say, Bill, you got the face you deserved. pic.twitter.com/RRIorKj258

Damn. That’s pretty rough. This isn’t as clear cut as when a boss harasses an employee, but it’s pretty close. And this kind of stuff has a way of bringing other accusers out of the woodwork, if there are any others. I would not surprised if there are because Maher styles himself as a pretty edgy comic. The Washington Examiner points out that he defended both Chris Matthews and Al Franken after the sexual harassment claims against them.
On the other hand, we have to be fair to the guy and admit there’s a chance she’s exaggerating, not remembering what happened, and maybe he was just trying to flirt with her. That’s still legal in this country isn’t it? Not according to the “Me Too” movement it isn’t…
Oh, and don’t forget, this is the guy who regularly and publicly jokes about his sexual escapades with Ann Coulter. Yup.
