Hollywood star-in-exile Rose McGowan has called into question Jack Dorsey’s credibility after the former Twitter CEO claimed the company took action to halt the spread of child pornography on the social media platform. “Why should we believe you now?” the actress asked.
On Friday, Jack Dorsey refuted current Twitter owner Elon Musk’s claim that the company “refused to take action on child exploitation for years.”
“This is false,” Dorsey tweeted, adding: “I don’t know what happened in the past year. But to say we didn’t take action for years isn’t true. You can make all my emails public to verify. Company took away my access to email or I would.”
McGowan wasn’t buying Dorsey’s side of the story, noting that Twitter deactivated her account four days after she went public with a sexual assault claim. “If that’s how your Twitter ran, why should we believe you now?”
The actress didn’t elaborate but she appears to be referring to time Twitter locked her account in 2017 after she came forward about being raped by Harvey Weinstein and encouraged others to speak out against Hollywood’s culture of silence in the face of sexual misconduct.
