Rose McGowan‘s criticism of an Adam Sandler movie role caused her to be dropped by her agency Innovative Artists, the actress revealed this week.
“I just got fired by my wussy acting agent because I spoke up about the bullshit in Hollywood. Hahaha,” she tweeted Tuesday with accompanying hashtags #douchebags, #awesome and #BRINGIT.
McGowan was repped by Steve Muller and Sheila Wenzel at Innovative Artists, though Wenzel left the agency two days before McGowan said she was notified of her own dismissal. The company did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

The former “Charmed” actress made headlines last week after tweeting out a casting note from a script that asked actresses auditioning for the role to wear “black (or dark) form fitting tank that shows off cleavage (push up bras encouraged).”
“Name of male star rhymes with Madam Panhandler,” she wrote, later confirming that she was indeed referencing Sandler. “Hahahaha I die.”
McGowan most recently appeared in the Crackle series “Chosen” and ABC’s “Once Upon a Time.” Her short film “Dawn” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year. She will make her feature film directorial debut with the upcoming psychological thriller “The Pines.”
