Rose McGowan joined James Franco's sexual misconduct accusers in expressing their disappointment with Sharon Stone for defending the actor in a recent interview.
"Sharon Stone should go hangout with Catherine Deneuve. They can be misogynistic victim shamers together. I stand with @VioletPaley I heard about James Franco for years," McGowan tweeted on Wednesday. "Kill your darlings, gain your soul. Creeps."

"It's so hard fighting for women, all women, when others won't," added McGowan. "I'm passionate, not angry. I'm not mad, I'm sad. Big, big difference."
Speaking with Marc Maron's WTF podcast, Stone was asked about working with Franco on "The Disaster Artist."
"I'm appalled by this thing about him that's happening where the girlfriend -- I don't know how the girlfriend can say that she's offended that he asked for a blow job while they're dating and now, all of a sudden, he's a bad guy," Stone said.

Paley herself tweeted earlier in the day, writing, "hey @sharonstone, you don't know shit about what happened. I was no James' girlfriend when he offered to invite me to set to mentor me. I had never touched his penis. I was misguided into believing I was coming to observe set. You can delete 'activist' from your twitter bio."
Sarah Tither-Kaplan, an actress who previously accused Franco of exploiting his acting students, also tweeted at Stone. "Hi @sharonstone there are many more women who are terrified to come forward because of people like you making baseless, misguided, and victim-blaming statements like the one you did," she wrote. "They speak to me daily wondering when they will get justice. You used to be a hero of mine."
