NEW YORK (AP) — Rose McGowan's tweet that apologized on behalf of the U.S. to Iran for “disrespecting their flag and people” in the wake of an airstrike that killed the country's top general was not anti-American, the actress said in the face of harsh criticism.

"I don't support Iran over America. I want America to be better," McGowan said during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on Friday.

Her tweet read: “Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us.”

The head of Iran's elite Quds force and mastermind of its regional security strategy, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a U.S. airstrike early Friday. The attack has caused regional tensions to soar.

She faced outrage over Friday's Twitter post, with some suggesting she move to Iran. McGowan acknowledged that her tweet was unusual.

“I woke up, I stupidly looked at Twitter. I was going to the bathroom, and I was like, ‘what?’” She added that she doesn't believe the governments of either Iran or the U.S.

“So, I just thought I would do something a little strange or unusual ... bloodshed should be avoided if you can,” she said. “And I kind of just thought, what if I take a really bizarre way around this. A very strange thought, I understand.”

McGowan, 46, who is known for her role in the “Scream” movie franchise, was one of the earliest of dozens of women to accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, making her a major figure in the #MeToo movement. Jury selection is scheduled to start this week in New York in a sexual assault case against Weinstein based on allegations from two other women. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty in that case and denies any maintains any sexual activity was consensual.

McGowan has filed a federal lawsuit alleging Weinstein and two of his former attorneys engaged in racketeering to silence her and derail her career as she prepared to accuse him of rape. An attorney for the mogul has called the suit meritless.

Just who does this ffing piece of shit think she is!??
No- bi5tch you do not get to apologize for this nation, its citizens , nor for me!
I'd spit in you damn face if you ever came on my property!
You need the living hell slapped out of you, you ffing worthless ffing piece of shit..
And I hope some American female does just that....-Tyr

You sure worked yourself into a lather over someone who's "work" most of us haven't seen and none of care about.

Personally, the next time I give a shit about what a celebrity thinks about the state of the country or world, it will be the first time.

They should be treated as they were in ancient Rome and Elizabethan times- like vagabonds and low-lifes.

Don't give a crap what any of the hollyweirdo's say, or do.

Best reason to IGNORE people like that. And that goes for all of the Leftist Hollyweirdo's who fool their fans by pretending to be intelligent. Acting only goes so far. And, like many radical politicians. They are liars, and terrible actors too!

I hope she doesn't fancy creating for herself a reputation comparable to Jane Fonda, aka 'Hanoi Jane'. One of those is 'more than sufficient' !

Jane Fonda then is absolutely nothing compared to not only today's "average" Hollyweirdo, but she wasn't even as bad some elected Democraps. Have to keep her in context with her time. She was so reviled by the military that she was a taboo topic on military bases. And she was just one jerkoff. Now it's like you throw a rock in the pond and if you hit water up pops another loony tune from the left. They've oversaturated their own market.

They and I obviously do not occupy the same planet.

In my MILITARY opinion, people like this twit could give a monitoring enemy a rough estimate on where it stood confronting us. In a serious confrontation/war, it would be a BIG issue someone would have to tackle. The FDR "blackout" days are over.

That monitoring enemy better hope they are fighting a bunch of Hollywood weirdos..... there are a bunch of folks throughout the country that think and believe differently than the bushel basket of nuts out on the west coast....
