Rose McGowan Says Agent Dropped Her for Criticizing Adam Sandler Film Role
By Ryan Gajewski, Abid Rahman
Rose McGowan appears to be changing agents.
In a Twitter message posted June 17, the Charmed actress criticized the wardrobe description for a part in a film that she received an audition script for. She said the forthcoming film stars a male actor whose name rhymes with “Madam Panhandler,” and she later confirmed to E! that the star is Adam Sandler.
She pointed out that actresses auditioning for the role were told to wear a “black (or dark) form-fitting tank that shows off cleavage (push-up bras encouraged). And form-fitting leggings or jeans.”
On Wednesday, McGowan tweeted that she had been dropped by her agent following the flap.
“I just got fired by my wussy acting agent because I spoke up about the bullshit in Hollywood. Hahaha. #douchebags #awesome #BRINGIT,” she tweeted.
McGowan, who has recently appeared on Crackle’s Chosen and ABC’s Once Upon a Time, had been repped by Sheila Wenzel and Steve Muller at Innovative Artists. Wenzel and Muller did not immediately respond to a request for comment. [UPDATE: THR has confirmed that Sheila Wenzel is no longer with Innovative.]

The awesome thing about being an artist? You can’t be fired from your own mind. #FREEDOM
