Rose McGowan filmed a chilling birthday message for Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday.

'Happy birthday Harvey Weinstein. I told you we'd be coming,' she said in the video, which she shot herself on her camera phone.

'I told you 20 years ago if I heard you doing this to another girl or women, we would come for you. I would come for you. Happy f***ing birthday. From all of us.'

McGowan then blew a kiss at  the camera and winked before adding: 'We win.'

This birthday message comes just days after McGowan said in an interview that she believes Weinstein would like to see her dead.

Birthday boy: Rose McGowan filmed a birthday message for Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday which she posted on Twitter (McGowan above in the video)

Greetings: 'Happy birthday Harvey Weinstein. I told you we'd be coming,' said McGowan in the video (McGowan and Weinstein above in 2007)

'I’m sure he would prefer it if I were dead. He’s a sociopath. I am not afraid - but I should be. The people I find worse than him are his lawyers. The way they are acting has been disgusting,' McGowan told Sunday People.

'The people around him, that have supported him in his attempt to dominate and abuse women, are monsters, just as much as he is.'

She then added: 'There is no rehabilitation for that type of soul. They just need to fall off the planet. He doesn’t believe he has done anything wrong.'

In her memoir Brave, McGowan writes that she had an appointment with Weinstein on the day of the incident but arrived to learn her breakfast meeting had been moved to his hotel suite.

Once she got to the suite, she claims that Weinstein tore off her clothing, made her sit on the edge of the Jacuzzi in his suite and proceeded to perform oral sex on the actress while masturbating himself to completion.

'I freeze, like a statue,' wrote McGowan of the moments just before the alleged assault.

Weinstein proceeded to strip naked according to McGowan, and directed her towards the Jacuzzi while ripping off her clothes.

She detailed how the encounter ended that day at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley, writing: 'He moans loudly; through my tears I see his semen floating on top of the bubble.'

McGowan's alleged attack was remarkably similar to the one Asia Argento claims she endured at the Cannes Film Festival just a few months later in 1997, and like Argento, McGowan wrote that she faked having an orgasm in hopes of quickly ending the encounter.

Soon after this alleged assault, McGowan received a $100,000 settlement.

Then, in a story McGowan had previously hinted at on Twitter, she was taken to a photo call for her film Phantoms that was playing at the festival.

When her costar Ben Affleck learned about what happened, he allegedly said: 'Goddamn it. I told him to stop doing that.'

Affleck had done his best to deny McGowan's claims about their conversation that day by avoiding or ignoring the question.

The topic last came up during an appearance on Today in December when Savannah Guthrie very bluntly asked if Affleck had been told by McGowan that she was raped by Weinstein.

Affleck responded by completely avoiding the question, saying: 'I don't want to get into other people's individual stories. Those are their stories and they're entitled to tell as much or as little of those. I believe Rose. I support her. I like and admire her tenacity and I wish her the best.' 

He did claim that McGowan never told him she was sexually assaulted in an email sent to Harvey Weinstein that has been seen by DailyMail.com.

'She never told me nor did I ever infer that she was attacked by anyone. Any accounts to the contrary are false,' wrote Affleck in the email.

'I have no knowledge about anything Rose did or claimed to have done. Accounts otherwise are lies.'

That email was sent in July, almost three months before the release of The New York Times and New Yorker exposes of Weinstein. 

'Mr. Weinstein denies Ms. McGowan’s allegations of non-consensual sexual contact,' said Weinstein's rep in a statement.

'Mr. Weinstein has further confirmed that there were never any acts of retaliation against any women for refusing his advances.'
