The Charmed star made the claim to controversial author Bret Easton Ellis on his podcast last month.
She said: “Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so. I have an indictment of the gay community right now, I’m actually really upset with them.”
She continued and said: “You wanna talk about the fact that I have heard nobody in the gay community, no gay males, standing up for women on any level?
“There is Sharia law active in Saudi Arabia, there’s a woman who’s about to be stoned – I have not heard [AIDS activist] Cleve Jones discuss her, and nor will he.
“I think it’s what happens to you as a group when you are starting to get most of what you fought for? What do you do now?
“What I would hope they would do is extend a hand to women. Gay males are male first
“Women, by-and-large, have very much helped the gay community get to where they are today.
“And I have seen not a single peep from these people, who supposedly represent lesbians as well… when the equal pay act was shut down by Republicans in the Senate, not a single man mentioned that.
“I see now people who have basically fought for the right to stand on top of a float wearing an orange speedo and take molly [MDMA].
“[Gay misogyny] is a huge problem.”
“Women, by-and-large, have very much helped the gay community get to where they are today."

In it she writes
Quote:
And as for those who question my allegiance to the gay community and try to paint me as a gay-hater, I have a big eye roll reserved just for you. I'm a human, I mess up, but I mess up with love and good intentions. I feel like I'm a fight with my family.
