In her tweets, McGowan alleged that Amazon Studios optioned a TV series from her and then killed it after she voiced concern to executives about Weinstein who was behind two of the programmes on the streaming platform, reported Variety. The actor directed a series of tweets at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. McGowan said she finally decided to get her script back but the studio informed her that her show had been killed. Weinstein's representative Sallie Hoffmeister said, "Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr Weinstein."
