Early this month, McGowan tweeted out that she had been raped by a man with the initials "HW.
" She later confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter that she was referring to Weinstein.
Weinstein was fired from the Weinstein Company on Oct.
8 after the New York Times published an expose detailing decades of sexual harassment allegations against him.
The Oscar-winning producer apologized without addressing any specific conduct, but has denied later allegations by several women that he raped them.
The Times also reported that Weinstein paid a financial settlement of $100,000 to McGowan in 1997 over an incident in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
McGowan has starred in several films, including Scream, Jawbreaker, and Planet Terror, as well as the early 2000s television series Charmed.
