'I realize that by critiquing someone personally, I lost sight of the bigger picture,' Rose McGowan wrote of her initial statement criticizing Natalie Portman
A week after criticizing Portman in a Facebook post and asserting her “Oscar ‘protest’” was “more like an actress acting the part of someone who cares,” McGowan has refocused her message to include all voices speaking out against injustice.
“I agree with Ms. McGowan that it is inaccurate to call me ‘brave’ for wearing a garment with women’s names on it,” Portman said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure.
Portman specifically responded to that part of McGowan’s post as well, saying that she’s tried to work with other female directors but the projects haven’t worked out.
