Rose McGowan has accused director Alexander Payne of sexual misconduct in an incident when she was 15 years old.

The “Charmed” actress — and vocal Harvey Weinstein accusertweeted about her alleged encounter with Payne, 59.

“Alexander Payne. You sat me down & played a soft-core porn movie you directed for Showtime under a different name,” she wrote early Monday. “I still remember your apartment in Silverlake. You are very well-endowed. You left me on a street corner afterwards. I was 15.”

In another tweet, McGowan posted a headshot of herself at 15.

“I just want an acknowledgement and an apology,” she said. “I do not want to destroy.”
