Overview
- Speaking on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, McGowan said she suspects Weinstein may be in a Connecticut mansion and asked to see a photo of him in prison.
- McGowan’s assertion is unverified, and a spokesperson for Weinstein called the claim false, stating he has been held at Rikers Island.
- Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual misconduct, received a 16-year sentence, and is reported to be serving that term in New York following a 2025 New York retrial conviction.
- In the interview, McGowan reiterated her 1997 assault accusation, described Weinstein as a “thug” and “loser,” and compared Hollywood’s past protection of him to a cult.
- Background context noted that dozens of women accused Weinstein over the years and that McGowan previously accepted a $100,000 settlement while rejecting a later $1 million NDA.
