Rose McGowan Reveals Weight Checks on Charmed
Rose McGowan, who played Paige Matthews on the TV show Charmed, recently talked about how her bosses would check her weight every season.
She said they would circle around her to make sure she looked the same.
This happened when she was on the show from 2001 to 2006.
Rose thinks that back then, it was normal for them to do this, but now people have to pretend to be more respectful.
She also said she doesn't know if things have changed much in Hollywood because she hasn't been active in the industry for a long time.
Charmed was a show about three sisters who were witches and had to use their powers to fight evil.
Rose McGowan revealed that Charmed executives would check her weight each season.
She described the experience as being inspected like a product.
McGowan joined Charmed in 2001 after the departure of another cast member.
She expressed uncertainty about changes in Hollywood's body standards.
Charmed aired on The WB from 1998 to 2006.
