They may seem like an unlikely set of foes, but Meryl Streep and Rose McGowan exchanged a few words this week and, while civil, it wasn’t pretty.

McGowan, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by producer Harvey Weinstein in the ’90s and has since been one of the more vocal celebrity voices in the #MeToo movement supporting victims of harassment and assault, called out Streep on Saturday for being one of several actresses planning to wear black to the upcoming Golden Globes in a show of support despite never speaking up about Weinstein before.

On Saturday, McGowan tweeted, “Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.”

By “Pig Monster,” McGowan is referring to Weinstein, while Marchesa is his wife Georgina Chapman’s fashion label. The tweet has since been deleted.
