Twitter Suspends Actress Rose McGowan's Account

Rose McGowan posted a message to Instagram late Wednesday saying that Twitter had suspended her account. 

“TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME,” the actress wrote. “THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE.”

McGowan has been a vocal critic of film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexually harassing and assaulting multiple women, including McGowan. She settled a lawsuit against Weinstein in 1997 after an incident in a hotel room at the Sundance Film Festival, The New York Times reported.

McGowan included a screenshot of her Twitter account page with a message from the company. The notice said that Twitter determined McGowan’s account had violated the Twitter rules, she said. She was suspended from sending tweets, retweets and liking messages, though her account remained visible to users. In order to begin the 12-hour suspension, the message told her to delete tweets that violated the company’s rules.
