Alec Baldwin quits Twitter after being accused of 'victim blaming' for admitting he heard 'rumor' Rose McGowan had been raped by Harvey Weinstein but did nothing for decades

The Daily Mail reports:
Alec Baldwin quit Twitter on Saturday after being accused of 'victim blaming' for controversial comments he made about Rose McGowan accepting a $100,000 settlement from Harvey Weinstein in 1997.

In an interview with PBS on Friday, Baldwin, 59, admitted hearing a 'rumor' McGowan had been raped by Weinstein but doing nothing about it along with the rest of Hollywood.

He said it was 'for' McGowan to prosecute it and later said it was an 'issue' that victims of sexual harassment were sometimes silenced by cash settlements because it thwarted the course of justice.

'You heard the rumor that he raped Rose McGowan. You heard that over and over. We have heard that for decades.

'But what happened was that Rose McGowan took a payment of $100,000 and settled her case with him. And it was for Rose McGowan to prosecute that case,' he said.


NBC and Saturday Night Live always be proud of Alec "the father of the year" Baldwin ?
