Hanging Her Out to Dry
Filed under: Film Flickers > Politik > Rose McGowan
The producers of Rose McGowan's new film, Fifty Dead Men Walking, are doing the distancing dance.
They want to make sure that every one knows that they don't support the actress' pro-terrorism comments from last week.
In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, the producers said they "regret any distress" that McGowan's comments may have caused "to people of Northern Ireland and particularly those who were victims of or caught up in the shocking events that existed during the conflict" AND that "Ms. McGowan's views were private ones, and as such they greatly saddened the film's producers."
The flick's director also took a moment to slam McGowan, saying, "Rose's personal opinions of Northern Ireland do not reflect the perspective of the film in any way. Our goal was to present an even, non-judgmental point of view so the audience could follow the path of an informer with empathy no matter what the politics."
We guess Rose won't be making any trips to Northern Ireland any time soon!

wtf???!!! where is everybody?!
Who is this loser?
…please. There is no such thing as bad press. And from what I hear she has f*cked everything from here to Alcatraz. "One MOre Time" and she will be a has been…
she needs to shut up and be thankful someone gave her a job.
she sucks.
SHE'S FUCKING CUNT.
SHE BETTER STAY OUT OF ENGLAND TOO, THE IRA DID ENOUGH DAMAGE HERE TOO.
HOW WOULD SHE FEEL IF AN ENGLISH ACTOR SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT 9/11?
DICKHEAD!
Celebs need to realize. If you don't know a lot about the subject, adhear to the old saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
it's very quiet today.
UNLESS THE IRA DECIDES TO RECRUIT HER STUPID ASS, MABE AS A SUICIDE BOMBER! TO BLOW UP HERSELF!
Re: mama of 2 – SLOW TOO!
That was a pretty Douchey thing of her to say … enough to make me hang the bitch in effigy.
Re: harrysnatch – Dealing w/ some serious family matters,see ya sometime down the road.
her dress is ugly.
Re: harrybalsac – hope it turns out ok.
take care.
Re: LettyB – YEAH, WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?
Re: LettyB – ON SECOND THOUGHT, IT WAS ONLY EVER BUSY BECAUSE OF ANDY 27N AND HIS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES LOL
She is so stoooooooooooopid, and really not that attractive.
Re: LettyB – yeah it is.
i was forced to do some work because of it.
thanks mario.
She should stfu. Come over here to the UK and say that Rose you moron. Both sides were at fault in that conflict but many innocent lives were taken by the IRA and her words are pure ignorance. My dad is Northern Irish and she has no idea what pain was caused by that conflict. >:(
She should just keep her mouth shut. The I.R.A is just another terrorist group. Like two years ago thay tryed to blow up the tollbrige on the M50 in Dublin but got caught.
Someone should tell Rose Homewrecker
that terrorism is not healthy for plants
and puppies and kittens and other living things…
terrorism is not romanic, it is disgusting!
No matter how misguided her opinion may be, she is still entitled to voice it!
Peeps … It's called freedom of speech.
don't know who she is and don't really care!
Re: Uker – SO TRUE! I THINK HE'S UNDER AN NEW ONE, SOME MIXED UP LETTERS AS HIS NAME! HE CALLED ME FAT ON ANOTHER POST THATS HOW I KNOW!
Re: mama of 2 – ME TOO! I DON'T LIKE WORK!
I'm sure she din't mean what she said completly lol
If Rose loves terrorism
so much, she should have
joined the Weather Underground
terrorist group -
which was founded in part
by Barack Obama's buddy
Bill Ayers - Bill still brags he
"did not do enough" when he
was with the group.
Re: harrybalsac – k baby….good luck! xoxo
Honestly, I can't believe she's still working…she is so lame.
i don't what her comment was, but she's the daugther of a free spirit (hippie) irish man so maybe her point is valid for some irish……
Yet more proof that movie makers should use actors from or at least near the place which is the subject of the movie, or at least this stupid biatch should have researched her role a bit more thoroughly. I'm from Northern Ireland, BTW
Ok. Calm down - she is just empathizing with the IRA. Anyone who knows anything about Bloody Sunday - the event that happened in Derry on January 30th, 1972 would empathize as well. Innocent unarmed civil rights protesters were killed by British soldiers. If that happened in your small town, I'm sure you would arm and defend yourself as well - not to mention the anger it would create in you. Does violence ever stop violence? No. But as Kurt Vonnegut once said so poetically about the human condition - "And so it goes . . ."
As someone born, raised and still living in Northern Ireland, her words were beyond disgusting, seriously Rose dont ever think of visiting. Real people REALLY lived through the troubles, all of us are affected by it in some way, its sickening.
if you glance by really quickly she looks like hilary duff with orange hair.
If Rose had said this about the UVF there would have been an equal uproar. I, myself support the IRA's cause. I do not support the killing of innocent poeple that BOTH sides of done. I have done my research, and I have lived in Belfast and am moving back there in a month. I love Northern Ireland and ALL people. I have friends that support both sides. My family is Northern Irish and my family is split between both sides. I do not hold any prejudices against the English (as a matter of fact I freakin LOOOOVVVEEEE England and everything that comes out of it) I do not hold any prejudices against the Protestants (I am one) The Troubles were awful, absolutely terrible, but the IRA were not the only ones to blame.
She looked like Hilary Duff there for a moment. That shizz is scary!
As an Irish person who grew during the troubles…tbh I'd have joined the IRA. What happened was a 2 way thing…Without the IRA there'd be no Nationalist alive in Northern Ireland today, the UVF, the LVF and the English army would have gladly kill them all.
well im glad to hear that shes sorry, i may not have lived through the troubles but the tension is still here and its comments like hers that agrivate the secteranism in this country!
Re: Irish Joey –
shut the fuck up they did not you idiot
Re: Noxie –
THANK YOU!!!!
Re: gbabyprads –
You grew up in it so how can you be so angry at her. You KNOW the IRA aren't the only ones to blame and they aren't the only "terrorist" group in the troubles. UVF/RUC both caused a shit load of problems and destruction too
it is so funny that most of you are commenting about things you know fuck all about.your all like robots your all full of shit like you have a clue what the english treated the irish for hundreds of years and to this day are still trying to fuck the irish.so god help you all when its your day.why are ye all at war???america????besides the money and oil and power you want and the fact you can never mind your own business.well you are in a massive war to protect yourselves against the kind of people that the english were and are to the irish.your protecting your country and your rights.just like the ira have been doing for hundreds and hundreds of years before any of you were even born.you sound like robots with no opinions of your own just something you heard your daddy say or saw in movie.i dont give a shit about rose mcgowan but atleast she has an opinion and a clue thats not robotic and the"right thing to say"(which is so fuking american and full of shit).cop on to yourselves and do your homework and study your history or maybe they should send some people over here to rape and murder and rob your mothers sisters wives and children and then maybe il listen to your opinion!IDIOTS
WHERE DID MY COMMENT AND OPINION GO?
Re: jojo123 –
You sound like my boyfriend! He's from Co Tyrone… I'm american but I'm not like what you're talking about jojo. i understand what you're saying and it's shit I have to deal with everyday that's why I'm moving… to Belfast actually. There are more than a few americans that have opinions but most of them you don't hear about because they're travelling and becoming educated and changing things. Unfortunately we get lumped in with the retards that do everything they are told but trust me jojo… some of us are different and we're trying to convert the rest
dumbass slut and not even pretty!
WOW WHAT A LARGE GROUP OF MORONS!!! I GUESS THE ENGLISH STEALING IRISH LAND AND STARVING THEIR PEOPLE FOR MANY MANY YEARS MEANS NOTHING!!! TO THIS DAY THERE ARE PROTESANTS THAT MARCH IN THE CATHOLIC AREAS TO CELEBRATE A HOLIDAY AGAINST THE IRISH CATHOLICS AND WILL EVEN RAP ON THEIR WINDOWS AND WAVE TO BE ASSHOLES. SOME OF THE THINGS THE IRA HAS DONE INT THE PAST FEW DECADES HAVE BEEN BAD, BUT I BELEIVE ROSE IF REFERING TO TIMES LONG BEFORE WHERE THE BRITISH MADE THE IRISH VICTIMS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND TOOK OVER. TO COMPARE 9/11 OR THE TALIBAN TO THE IRA IS JUST PURE IDIOCRACY!!! THE IRA WAS FIGHING FOR WHAT WAS THEIRS, IRELAND!!! AND ANY BRITISH PERSON WHO IS WHINING ABOUT THIS SHOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY DID IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE IRA WOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED IS THE BRITISH HADNT STOLEN THEIR LAND AND FOOD. FOR ALL YOU RETARDS WHO ARE MAKING HARSH CRITICISMS ABOUT THE IRA, GOOGLE BLOODY SUNDAY. ROSE SAYING SHE WOULD JOIN THE IRA HAD SHE BEEN IN IRELAND AT THE TIME IS THE EXACT SAME THING AS ALL THE AMERICANS WHO JOINED THE MILITARY AFTER 9/11…………PEREZ IM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU
I don't know what she said but…. Why the hell don't the frickin English bastards leave people alone??? I think the English are the root of all evil.
Dude! I totally thought that was Hilary Duff at first!
bahahaha
Re: grace-e –
thats interesting you say that since in the last post about her you said and i quote "OK MAYBE ONLY PEOPLE WHO STUDY IRISH HISTORY (LIKE ME) OR PEOPLE FROM IRELAND SHOULD COMMENT ON THIS POST CAUSE SOME AMERICANS JUST DONT HAVE A CLUE…"
just because you live in the place where something occured and wasnt there when it happened doesnt mean you know more about it then someone who lives somewhere else and wasnt there.
Re: jojo123 –
True dat. Most americans have no idea that there was and is a media blackout on things pertaining to the events in Northern Ireland. We only heard when the IRA bombed but never were told about the infinite number of things the English and the loyalists have done to provoke the Irish nationalists. Many stupid americans go in to an Irish pub and order a "black and tan" not knowing the history behind it. Do they even understand some of the awful things the RUC have done? Do they know the Irish War of Independence is also known as the "Black and Tan War"? No, they think a "black and tan" is simply the name of a drink.
Re: Dame Perez –
What do you expect of Perez? He is more interested in cramming homosexuality down everyone's throat and can't be bothered with educating himself on Ireland's history. He just accepts the crown/royalist interpretation of events which is a nice anglicised interpretation of the events that have taken place in the Ireland. Afterall, the right to have gay sex is far more important than knowing about the mass starvation of the Irish people in 1847 which led to mass emigration in the subsequent years.
Below are a few lines from Obama's books, IN HIS WORDS!
From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' / 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' / 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' / 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' / 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

Hmmmm….NO THANKS! McCain / Palin 2008!
Re: Dame Perez – I know of what you speak of! but Rose is uneducated of the matter that's why I would take offence to it! I am sure she is not familiar with the full history of the IRA or the march of the Orangemen! But I am sure she is aware of the bombings that mosts people are familiar with, that's why it is taken out of context by people!!! Just saying, but you could be right!
Re: LettyB –
How can you say "I'm sure she isn't educated" You have no idea… bottom line. We all have no idea the extent of her knowledge. Let me tell you something from personal experience… when i lived in Northern Ireland I made a decision, i picked a side. I am extremely educated in what's going on over there and it annoys me when people assume I am not. Rose McGowans father is Irish, born in Ireland. He moved during the troubles to get away and raise his family some where safe… Italy. Tell me Rose knows nothing about the whole thing when her father grew up in the height of it. Don't assume actors are stupid.
English people, if you didn't like getting bombed then why did you:
1) Take our land
2) Ban our language
3) Ban our religion
4) Deny us any civil rights
5) Take our food while we starved of famine
Get out of Northern Ireland or STFU.
Re: getlostdancing –
I agree that it's not fair to say only irish people or those who have studied irish history should comment, not all americans are stupid. But reading this here shows me that a lot of the people commenting really have no real grasp of what has happened in Ireland. They all seem to think the IRA are terrorists and that this is a onesided thing. I do think before anyone comments on here about this, if they don't understand it, they should form their own decision and not go off one from a guy who has no freakin clue. "pro terrorist comments" I mean come one. He compared them the the Al Qaeda? Ridiculous.
Re: Cottonquinn –
Even worse, ever heard of an "Irish Car Bomb" I cringe every time I hear it. I know some dumbasses that went to Ireland and asked for one. Needless to say they left there with a few bruises. People don't understand how offensive it is. What if they had a drink called the "Holocaust Jew Burn" or the "African Woman Rape" that would be offensive, right? People know about africa, people know about WW2 but for some reason, they know nothing….NOTHING of British Imperialism and the way they shit all over Ireland.
Re: Tawnacious D –
first of all your right about how everyone knows about africa and ww2.
last year in my ap european history class i was really hoping we'd talk about the famine, the troubles, and the irish rev because i have a shitload of opinions on the subject and i looked in the index of my book and there was like nothing. we scarcely went over the famine and cromwells invasion. apparently napoleon and austria is more important.
when i read the comments on the first post on rose i was so pissed off it was insane. and when i started replying to peoples absurd comments i almost came to tears a couple times because it is so onesided. no one cares about the millions or irish who were affected and killed throughout history by the english. and when people do admit that theyre like "well what happened hundreds of years ago doesnt justify the IRA killing innocent people." that also pisses me off because apparently no one cares about the UVF killing people since theyre on englands side.
all of irish history just shows how smart america was to break away from england.
and the al quaeda comparisons are so uncalled for.
the IRA was protecting their own land that was stolen. not invading another country to destroy and convert.
the ignorance of some people is pathetic
Re: getlostdancing –
My boyfriend is 34, he grew up in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland. He has told me stories of bombs going on both sides and the horror of it all BUT he still supports the IRA because he believes in a cause. He gets really angry with me when I say NI is a part of the UK. I am an actress and that's the way it works there, i live in Belfast and can work in Scotland and England with the same visa…it's technically the same. BUT I CANNOT SAY THAT TO HIM! It's all one Ireland to those that are unionists, those that have lived through the troubles. It's hard to express your opinion about these things, I've learned. I get disgusted with people and their ignorance and I find myself at parties correcting people because they say some dumb shit about the IRA. As an actress I really have to watch what I say, especiallly when that comes up…especially in Belfast. I sympathize with Rose McGowan and it's sad that even the director is telling her to shut it.
W hat a twatting knob head! Who the fuck is she to even comment? Alot of innocent people were killed or badly injured at the hands of the IRA, a lot of lives were ripped to peices and a lot of unthinkable things happened!!! Just ecause its not in your country, dickhead, doesnt make it less real! like to see her come over here to the UK and say that shit, how would she feel if an english actor stared mouthing off about 9/11? and shes fuck ugly too!!!
If anyone actually understood the history of the IRA, they would understand it is nothing like the terrorists who attacked on 9/11.
There is some difference when your country is invaded by another and where your family, friends and children have all of their rights taken away including:
- right to own their own land
- right to education
- right to speak their traditional language
- right to keep the goods harvested from their own country (….hence the great famine)
So the origins of this terrorist group are fundamentally different to the types of groups who were responsible for 9/11, the bombings in Madrid and attacks in London. Actions of the IRA are certainly not something I would condone, but they were in direct response to the atrocities caused by the British government. And the Unionists weren't exactly all innocent either.
Both sides were wrong and Rose was just sympathising with the Irish cause, which is understandable given the history. Not the best thing to say publically, but USA is the country where a hockey mom actually stands a chance of being elected president. Some of the things Sarah Palin said are far far far worse!!!
sit back shut up look pretty
Re: grace-e – she isnt sorry, her management probably just went into overdrive and told her to say she was sorry to salvage her career
Re: damcw – if it was up to the british public then we'd give ni back but it isnt so why punish us? if the ira want to blow up someone make it gordon brown not innocent people with nothing to do with it and no power to change it
fucking cunt i wanna rip her her fuckin neck out and shit down her neck ugly twat!!!!!!!!
Right- like anybody is going to take her word for anything…
