Actrice Rose McGowan scheert niet alle mannen over één kam, ondanks haar ervaringen met seksueel misbruik. In een interview met The Guardian vertelt ze over pijnlijke ervaringen in haar leven, maar ze weigert het alle mannen na te dragen.

“Ik ben altijd blijven geloven in mensen”

“Zo ben ik nooit geweest”, zegt McGowan, die vertelt dat ze nu een relatie heeft met een vrouw. “Ik ben altijd blijven geloven in mensen. Ik denk dat het beter zou zijn als mensen zouden stoppen met zichzelf te zien als een man of een vrouw – iedereen zou zich moeten beschouwen als mens.”

Rose zette met haar aantijgingen over seksueel misbruik aan het adres van Harvey Weinstein de MeToo-beweging mede in gang. De actrice vertelt meerdere keren misbruikt te zijn, voor het eerst gebeurde het toen ze veertien was.

Het plot en de afleveringstills voor aflevering 1×17 Surrender zijn verschenen.

Milano is an actor, activist and a Co-Chair of the Health Care Voter campaign.
I have a secret, and I am not alone.

I am a mother, an actor and an activist — and like over 40 million Americans, I live with a mental illness. This Mental Health Awareness Month, I am joining the people nationwide who are standing up, sharing their stories and demanding that lawmakers defend our access to health care.

My Generalized Anxiety Disorder was most likely triggered by my postpartum depression, and my journey with mental illnesses began with my journey into motherhood.

In 2011, two years after suffering a miscarriage, I learned that I was pregnant with my first son, Milo — and it was a dream. My miscarriage was heartbreaking, but this pregnancy was beautiful: I did not experience morning sickness; I went to prenatal yoga five times a week; I walked two miles a day; and I took naps in the afternoon.

Following this idyllic image of motherhood, I wrote a strict birth plan: no induction of labor, no pain medication and no c-sections. I equated a natural birth to my value as a woman and as a mother — and I was determined not to stray from that course.

But life does not always go according to plan.

On August 31, 2011, ten days before my due date, I began to have complications. Despite my plan, the doctors had to try to induce labor. I was forced to take an epidural, and I eventually delivered my beautiful son (after 18 hours of labor and three and a half hours of pushing) via C-section. And then, with my darling son in my hands, I was in excruciating pain not only from my C-section but also, from my milk coming in.

That first night, after we returned from the hospital, I suffered my first anxiety attack. I felt like I had already disappointed my child. I felt like I failed as a mother, since I was not able to give birth vaginally or nourish him with the breast milk that had not come in yet. My heart raced. My stomach seized up. I felt like I was dying.

I recovered. But a few months later, Milo spiked a very high fever and had a febrile seizure in my arms, and my paralyzing anxiety reared its head again.

No, no, no, I thought to myself. This can’t be happening again. I don’t have time for this. This was still 2011, and I was supposed to start work on a television show the following week.

I told myself that I needed to keep myself together.

As we began filming, my anxiety worsened. I began to develop irrational and obsessive fears. Like many working moms, I was overwhelmed by guilt for leaving my son during work hours, and like many others who suffer from anxiety, my pain was not taken seriously.

Every day, I would drive to work and think about all the ways that Milo could die in the hands of his caretakers. Every night, after working 16-hour days, after I was finally able to hold my child and put him to sleep, my day’s anxiety would culminate into a debilitating anxiety attack.

Finally, I hit a wall. One early morning, I went to the emergency room at 2:00 AM, asked for a psychiatrist and got help. I felt as though I had no choice: I asked to be committed; I stayed in a public psychiatric ward for three days.

At last, I began to feel as if my pain was recognized, but it wasn’t easy. One of my doctors dismissed my symptoms, and many of my colleagues, even female colleagues, still had trouble understanding that I was hurting at all.

But throughout this process, I also found angels — including my psychiatrist and my therapist. They convinced me that I had the bravery to face my illness, the value to seek help and the strength to recover.

And I am continuing to do all three. And most likely I will for the rest of my life.

Here’s the thing about mental illnesses: you don’t always look sick, and the answers are not always clear or black-and-white. But we should not confront these challenges by placing more hurdles in front of Americans who desperately need the care. I was lucky enough to have the means and the insurance to get the help and support I needed. What happens to those mothers who don’t have the kind of support I received?

Mental health is also not a threat that can only happen to someone else: one in six Americans face mental illness, and less than half of them receive any form of mental health services.

Let’s rededicate ourselves to talking about mental health. Let’s demand that our lawmakers pass policies that open — not restrict — our access to mental health services. Let’s remind each other that no one should have to face these challenges by themselves.

And if you see me on the street, please come tell me that I am not alone.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ actrice Chloe Bridges is gecast in één aflevering als de nieuwe Whitelighter in ‘Charmed’. Ze komt in beeld wanneer Harry verdwijnt, echter is ze niet zo gevoelig voor het feit dat de zussen nieuw zijn in de wereld van magie en niet bang op te benoemen waarin ze tekort doen.

Macy, Mel and Maggie are about to get a reality check, courtesy of Chloe Bridges. The actress will guest-star in an upcoming episode of The CW’s Charmed as Tessa, a no-nonsense Whitelighter who fills in when Harry “mysteriously disappears,” TVLine has learned exclusively.

Unlike Harry, who nurtures the witches’ powers and understands that they’re still relatively new to the craft, Tessa is “a total hardass and decidedly unimpressed with the sisters’ abilities, and not afraid to be snarky about their shortcomings.”

The Charmed reboot, which premiered in Oct. 2018, was part of The CW’s recent mass renewal, ensuring a second season of demons and drama for the newly formed Charmed Ones.

As for the show’s main story arc, executive producer Amy Rardin tells TVLine that the second half of Season 1 will “explore the mystery of who killed Marisol. We have a lot of twists and turns in that story. We have a lot of mysteries to reveal.”

In addition to playing the ever-shady Sydney Driscoll on ABC Family/Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars, Bridges’ small-screen resume also includes roles on Netflix’s Insatiable (as Roxy Buckley), VH1’s Daytime Divas (as Kibby Ainsley), MTV’s Faking It (as Zita Cruz), The CW’s The Carrie Diaries (as Donna LaDonna) and 90210 (as Alexis), and ABC’s Freddie (as Zoey).

De datum van de seizoenfinale van het eerste seizoen van de nieuwe ‘Charmed’ reeks is bekend, deze zal op 19 mei uitgezonden worden op The CW.
