There is a warrant out for my arrest in Virginia. What a load of HORSES—,” she tweeted Monday morning. Earlier this month, McGowan said she was raped by Weinstein.

I’m just like you,” she said. “What happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in society and it cannot stand and it will not stand.” She is one of more than 50 women who have come forward to accuse Weinstein of sexual misconduct or assault. A spokesperson for the movie mogul previously told PEOPLE, “Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.”
