Rose McGowan's 'heart is broken' after Asia Argento's reported sexual assault settlement

Actress Rose McGowan spoke out Monday after the New York Times reported that fellow Harvey Weinstein accuser Asia Argento had paid a settlement to her own sexual harassment accuser.

"I got to know Asia Argento ten months ago," McGowan wrote on Twitter. "Our commonality is the shared pain of being assaulted by Harvey Weinstein. My heart is broken. I will continue my work on behalf of victims everywhere."

Actress-director Argento, a public face of the #MeToo movement, recently paid off a former child actor who said she sexually assaulted him in a Marina del Rey hotel when he was 17, according to the NYT report.

Hours after her original comment, McGowan added an afterthought.

"None of us know the truth of the situation and I'm sure more will be revealed," she wrote. "Be gentle."
