“Oh look, Rose McGowan is a hypocrite too *pretends to be shocked* Just imagine if it was a guy in place of Asia,” one person tweeted. “Imagine how he’d be crucified by the #MeToo movement; but because it’s a woman, we need to wait and “be gentle.””

“Be gentle, why? Because she’s a woman and your friend? Your comments are a major slap in the face to everything the #MeToo movement represents,” wrote actor Harry Cook in a tweet. “Double standards beyond belief.”

There was also discussion about the fact that McGowan said she’s only gotten to know Argento within the past 10 months.
