Rose McGowan and Ben Affleck

Weinstein's defense team jumped on this as an excuse to discredit Rose McGowan. They published an email from Affleck to Weinstein in early 2016 before the accusations broke. He sees her traumatized and so he does what he thinks she'll appreciate in the moment. Now that the issue is public he's going to take Rose aside because he knows which way is the wind blowing but he's basically a coward. That's Ben Affleck in a nutshell I'm feeling.
