Rose McGowan is claiming that the disgraced movie mogul offered her the staggering sum of money to keep silent about rape allegation.

But 'The Charmed' and 'Scream' actress says she initially countered with her own offer for $6million!
McGowan claims she was raped by Harvey Weinstein at the Sudance Film Festival in 1997.
"I had all these people I'm paying telling me to take it so that I could fund my art," said McGowan.
"I figured I could probably have gotten him up to three. But I was like — ew, gross, you're disgusting, I don't want your money, that would make me feel disgusting."
MacGowan is one of nine women that claims to have been raped by the disgraced movie producer.
Weisten's spokesperson says he "unequivocally denies any allegations of nonconsensual sex".
