Rose McGowan’s Ex-Manager Commits Suicide & Her Family Blames Her Harvey Weinstein Crusade

So sad! Rose McGowan’s former manager Jill Messick has taken her own life and her family is blaming the actress’ crusade against Harvey Weinstein for the suicide.

The Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse and harassment scandal has taken a sad new turn, as Rose McGowan‘s former manager Jill Messick has taken her own life at the age of 50. Her family released a statement about her Feb. 7 suicide, saying the former Miramax and Paramount Studios producer had battled depression and a bipolar condition. But they also claimed that the Charmed actress’ crusade against the disgraced movie mogul had taken a toll on Messick. In a statement given to our sister site Deadlineher family revealed the following:

“Over the past few months, many women have come out with allegations against Harvey Weinstein, including Rose McGowan, who has repeatedly spoken with the press, striking out against not only her alleged attacker, but a great many others. One of them was Jill, who chose to remain silent in the face of Rose’s slanderous statements against her for fear of undermining the many individuals who came forward in truth. She opted not to add to the feeding frenzy, allowing her name and her reputation to be sullied despite having done nothing wrong. She never chose to be a public figure, that choice was taken away from her.”
