Actress Alyssa Milano has become quite an outspoken activist on social media, and at times, she finds herself in the middle of a feud. The former\u00a0Who\u2019s the Boss<\/em>\u00a0star also wrote a book titled\u00a0Sorry, Not Sorry<\/em>\u00a0in which she mentions actress Rose McGowan, and not in a very flattering light.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In an excerpt from her book, Milano seemingly referred to McGowan when she\u00a0wrote<\/a>, \u201cThere was once a rose in my life that I loved particularly strongly\u2026 Roses used to be my favorite flower, but I no longer grow them. I\u2019ve been pricked too many times.\u201d The actresses, both of whom have a flare for the dramatic, starred as half-sisters Paige and Phoebe on the popular WB television series\u00a0Charmed<\/em>\u00a0from 2001 to 2006.<\/p>\n

When Twitter user @Charmed_Reunion tweeted the excerpt reportedly referring to McGowan, she\u00a0fired back<\/a>\u00a0in a tweet. The\u00a0Grindhouse<\/em>\u00a0star kept her response simple yet blunt: \u201cWhat a f***ing douche.\u201d But, that\u2019s not all. McGowan pointed to Alyssa Milano\u2019s #MeToo activism which she claimed made her a \u201cf***ing fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Back in 2018, McGowan\u00a0appeared<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Nightline<\/em>\u00a0and was one of the first actresses to go on the record to accuse Harvey Weinstein of rape. From McGowan\u2019s interview sprung the popular #MeToo movement, which the actress has since disavowed claiming it was co-opted by powerful players in Hollywood and Washington D.C. for all of the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n

McGowan believed Milano\u2019s #MeToo activism was a fraud for two reasons. One, she is\u00a0married<\/a>\u00a0to David Buguliari who works for the Creative Artists Agency, which McGowan\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0was \u201cpart of the pimp problem\u201d of enabling abusers in Hollywood. Secondly, McGowan blasted Milano\u2019s support for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, claiming they too were part of the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

According<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em>, \u201cBack in August of 2020, McGowan and Milano had a very public falling out after McGowan called the\u00a0Who\u2019s The Boss<\/em>\u00a0actress a \u2018fraud\u2019 and accused her of hijacking the #MeToo movement by supporting then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actresses got into a bitter back-and-forth on Twitter, and McGown reserved special criticism for the Democratic Party, which she accused of doing nothing to help lift up minority communities and the poor. Although McGowan did not support Donald Trump, she saw Milano\u2019s support of Joe Biden and the Democrats as a betrayal, claiming they had also co-opted the #MeToo movement as their own.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

McGowan began a series of tweets alleging that Milano scammed the #MeToo movement from its creator Tarana Burke while also saying she created a \u201ctoxic\u201d work environment on the set of\u00a0Charmed<\/em>\u00a0with her diva-like behavior. \u201cYou stole #metoo (a brilliant communication tool, not a movement) from Tarana [Burke]. You co-opted my movement, the Cultural Reset, for fame, jealous of me for outing my rapist. You made 250k per week on Charmed,\u201d McGowan\u00a0posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rose McGowan responded when asked about Alyssa Milano during a\u00a0Nightline<\/em>\u00a0interview: \u201cI don\u2019t like her, cause I think she\u2019s a lie.\u201d (Credit:\u00a0YouTube<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

McGowan wasn\u2019t finished blasting her former costar. \u201cYou threw a fit in front of the crew, yelling, \u2018They don\u2019t pay me enough to do this shit!\u2019 Appalling behavior on a daily. I cried every time we got renewed because you made that set toxic AF. Now, get off my coattails you f*cking fraud,\u201d McGowan\u00a0declared<\/a>. At the time, Milano was heavily campaigning for Joe Biden and responded to McGowan by posting a\u00a026-tweet thread<\/a>\u00a0listing Democrats\u2019 achievements.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

That\u2019s when McGowan responded to Milano with a scathing personal analysis of the Democrats after Biden claimed then-President Donald Trump had \u201ccloaked America in darkness for much too long.\u201d McGowan took to social media and tagged her former costar, posting, \u201cYou are the season of darkness @JoeBiden @dnc. You are monsters. You are frauds. You are the lie,\u201d she\u00a0wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n
