Oh, That’s Why

Yesterday we contemplated the reasoning behind Rose McGowan’s very public breakdown over Anthony Bourdain’s suicide, and today we know – that in addition to being a pathological bitch – the reason could be to distract from or elicit sympathy for her cocaine possession charge. Sorry McGowan, that really blows. Have coke and smile. I want nose candy. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. McGowan has been indicted by a grand jury for “one felony count of cocaine possession” according to TMZ, but still maintains her innocence, with her attorney releasing the statement in response to the news:

Rose steadfastly maintains her innocence. These charges would have never been brought if it weren’t for her activism as a voice for women everywhere. I assure you, this selective prosecution will be met with a strong defense.

In 2017 cocaine was found in a purse that McGowan left behind on a plane, but as five hours passed between when she left the plane and when the purse was returned to her, McGowan claims that plenty of time passed for the cocaine to be planted on her. At the time of the initial arrest, her lawyer stated:

There is simply no point in time at which the evidence places Ms. McGowan and the cocaine together in the same place.

And, taking it a step further, McGowan even maintains that there’s a strong likelihood that Harvey Weinstein is behind the cocaine planting. A conviction could land McGowan in jail for a year. If I were McGowan I would fess up to lugging around a bunch of blow, guilty or not, because A) It would explain my daily mental blowouts and B) It would explain the eyebrows in the picture above. Damn. Needless to say, if convicted, we’ll know for a fact that Rose McGowan blows.
