Jill Messick Death

On February 8, 2018 Messick committed suicide in Los Angeles. This incident came after the release of McGowan’s book “Brave” which claims that Messick did little to help her after she confided in her about the attack by Weinstein. She was dragged into the case in between Harvey Weinstein case and Rose McGowan.

Shortly after her suicide, Messick’s family issued a statement saying that she had battled depression. The family also lashed out at Harvey Weinstein and Rose McGowan saying she had become collateral damage in the movement.

The statement released by her family said (In Short): 

“Jill was victimized by our new culture of unlimited information sharing and a willingness to accept statement as fact. The speed of disseminating information has carried mistruths about Jill as a person, which she was unable and unwilling to challenge. She became collateral damage in an already horrific story.”

“Jill believed in the Movement. She supported every woman finally coming forward to share their dark truths and expose those who had committed previously unspeakable deeds. She was loyal. She was strong. Jill was many things, but she was not a liar. Seeing her name in headlines again and again, as part of one person’s attempt to gain more attention for her personal cause, along with Harvey’s desperate attempt to vindicate himself, was devastating for her. It broke Jill, who was just starting to get her life back on track.”

Words matter.

Someone’s life may depend on it.
