<p>Rose McGowan, one of 28 actresses and film industry figures <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/harvey-weinstein-accusers-sexual-harassment-assault-rose-mcgowan-ashley-judd-gwyneth-paltrow" type="external">who has accused</a> Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, blasted colleagues <a type="internal">Ben Affleck and Matt Damon</a> for allegedly remaining silent about the charges for years.</p> 
<p>Then the Twitter police stepped in. We'll get there.</p> 
<p>Affleck and Damon were <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/10/ben-affleck-finally-addresses-harvey-weinstein-scandal-but-not-matt-damon-so-far/" type="external">accused of helping kill</a> a 2004 New York Times story about Weinstein's inappropriate sexual behavior.</p> 
<p>McGowan called Damon a &#8220;spineless profiteer&#8221;:</p> 
<q> <p>Hey <a href="https://twitter.com/MattDamon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@mattdamon</a> what&#8217;s it like to be a spineless profiteer who stays silent? <a href="https://t.co/rp0OrRrpqJ" type="external">pic.twitter.com/rp0OrRrpqJ</a></p> </q> 
<p>She was a tad bit more concise with this blast at Affleck:</p> 
<q> <p>Ben Affleck fuck off</p> </q> 
<p>This tweet from Affleck really set her off:</p> 
<p>To which she responded:</p> 
<q> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/BenAffleck?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" type="external">@benaffleck</a> &#8220;GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT&#8221; you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie.</p> </q> 
<p>OK, now that you understand the flavor of the whole thing, enter, the Twitter police.</p> 
<p>McGowan announced on Wednesday via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BaImG1Mle7b/?hl=en" type="external">Instagram</a> that the Twitter powers that be had suspended her account for 12 hours &#8212; with the countdown to begin after she deleted the &#8220;tweets that violate our rules&#8221;:</p> 
<p>No word what those &#8220;rules&#8221; are, given Twitter is littered with F-bombs and worse on a daily basis, not to mention brutal ad hominem attacks against anyone and everyone.</p> 
<p>In 1997, then-23-year-old McGowan reportedly reached a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/rose-mcgowan-harvey-weinstein-settlement-2017-10" type="external">$100,000 settlement</a> with Weinstein over what The New York Times described as &#8220;an episode in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival,&#8221; Business Insider reported.</p> 
<p>Oddly, ten years later, McGowan and Weinstein were all smiles as they arrived, arm-in-arm, at the Los Angeles premiere of the film &#8220;Grindhouse'&#8221; in March 2007:</p> 
<p>TMZ <a type="internal">originally reported</a> that the producer would be getting help in Wickenburg, Arizona. But Thursday morning, it reported that Weinstein is now in the Scottsdale, Arizona, area at a <a href="http://www.12news.com/news/local/arizona/tmz-harvey-weinstein-in-arizona-for-sex-addiction-treatment/482652393" type="external">rehabilitation center</a> for treatment of &#8220;behavioral issues,&#8221; including sexual addiction.</p> 
<p>As is often the case, (see: &#8220;Anthony Weiner,&#8221; et al.) Weinstein's apologies and subsequent claims of desiring help come only after decades of alleged inappropriate sexual behavior, including alleged rape, after finally being outed.</p>
