The actress, who has been extremely vocal during the Harvey Weinstein fallout, took to Twitter to lay into the House of Cards actor.
She said, ‘Bye bye, Spacey. Goodbye. It’s your turn to cry. That’s why we’ve gotta say goodbye,’ ending with the hashtag Rose Army.
It was in relation to the Star Trek: Discovery actor sensationally accusing Spacey of inviting him to his Manhattan apartment when he was just 14 years old and making what he described as a ‘drunken’ sexual advance towards him.
Just hours after being accused, Spacey released a statement announcing he was gay, a move comedian Billy Eichner described as disgusting, irresponsible and dangerous.
Rapp made the allegations against Spacey in a story that was published by BuzzFeed News on Sunday, and hours later the Hollywood A-lister issued a statement via his Twitter account.
Spacey said he was ‘beyond horrified’ to learn of Rapp’s allegations and apologized for ‘what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior’, although he said he didn’t remember the alleged incident.
The House of Cards star also revealed that he has had relationships with men and women throughout his life, but now chooses to live as a gay man.
Many followed McGowan’s lead to condemn the timing of the announcement.
Jordan Thompson, an activist and New Hampshire native running for Moderator in Nashua’s District 29 (Ward 2), said:
‘Feels kinda gross that you’re turning a story that should be about the victim (s)…into a story about you?
‘Congrats on coming out, I guess?’
Another, identifying as Sherri, said: ‘Is Kevin Spacey trying to change the focus from the sexual assault of a 14-year-old to his own sexuality?
‘The assault is what matters.’
