Actress Rose McGowan of “Charmed” fame has become disillusioned with the radically liberal world of Hollywood, which she is now comparing to a “cult” she is putting on blast.

In the past few years, McGowan has been open about her claims that she was raped by disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein during the height of her acting career. In a new interview with Yahoo News, McGowan explained that she sees herself as a victim of Hollywood as a whole, which is why she’s decided to leave acting behind for good.

“It was my day job. I acquitted myself very well, but it wasn’t the love of my life,” McGowan said. “I refused to give up who I was forever just to stay in a [Hollywood] system that I fundamentally disagree with, that I think is a cult. And then I get blacklisted after being sexually assaulted, and then what job are you doing to do? Then it was like taking the dregs and scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get what [roles] I could. That’s just a crap way to live. And it’s not artistically where I live.”

She went on to say that even when people thought she had it all while appearing on “Charmed,” she was really miserable inside. “I was a fringe person, and lonely as hell. I was very famous for being on TV; I was famous for not being me,” McGowan continued. “It’s a weird situation.”

These days, McGowan regrets ever acting because it’s what led to her meeting Weinstein. “I think it was always going to be that way. Weirdly enough, my whole life, I was deathly afraid of being sexually assaulted, as I think most women are. It’s just a common [fear], the guy coming in at night with a mask on his face. That’s terrifying,” McGowan said. “It’s the Boogieman. But our ‘Boogieman’ is usually someone we know, even if it’s just at a breakfast meeting, in my case, at 10 in the morning.

“I wish I had gotten out of Hollywood sooner,” she concluded. This comes days after McGowan revealed how disillusioned she has become with the Democratic Party after leftists stood behind Joe Biden despite the fact that he has been accused of sexual assault by former Senate staffer Tara Reade. McGowan now thinks that the Democratic Party is just as much of a “cult” as Hollywood is.

“I used to be a proud Democrat,” the 46-year-old tweeted last week. “I used to be a proud American.”

“I thought democracy meant…I had a right to choose those who lined up with my value system,” McGowan added. “But what if there’s no one?”

She went on to say that she had always thought the Democratic Party “were the good guys” and that she felt “really quite a sense of loss.”

“Now I know too much,” McGowan wrote.

I’m really sad, and I’m really tired. I normally share thoughts, but tonight it’s emotion. pic.twitter.com/mhtaoW6dTd
