Hollywood actress Rose McGowan has returned to Twitter after a short suspension with a blistering attack on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
The tweet storm came not long after McGowan was suspended from the social media platform after she hit out against the disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein, whom she claimsraped her in 1997.
McGowan posted a series of messages to Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, asking him to "stop funding rapists" and "stand with truth".
The Weinstein Company has been working with Amazon on two upcoming series.
In the Tweets, McGowan says she had told the head of Amazon Studios that Weinstein had raped her, and that she wanted a script she had sold to the studio back as it seemed the company were going to sell it to The Weinstein Co.
Three hours after the tweets were sent, Amazon announced 51-year-old executive Roy Price was "on leave of absence effective immediately" from the company.
Yesterday McGowan posted on her Twitter suspension on Instagram. "Twitter has suspended me. There are powerful forces at work. Be my voice," she wrote.
She also shared a screen grab of Twitter's suspended account notification, which says "We've determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules."
The message also suggests she "Delete the Tweets that violate our rules."
