♪ ♪ >> Tucker: AS WE TOLD YOU AT THE TOP RIGHT BEFORE WE CAME ON THE AIR TONIGHT THAT ACTRESS ROSE McGOWAN WANTED TO COME ON TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING. WE'VE NEVER MET ROSE McGOWAN BEFORE BUT WE ARE COMPLETELY OPEN MINDED. WE JUST LEARNED ABOUT SOMETHING WITH BRITNEY SPEARS WHO WE HAVE NOT INTERVIEWED SINCE SHE WAS LITERALLY A TEENAGER. APPARENTLY SHE IS UNDER A CONSERVATORSHIP FOR THE PAST 13 YEARS AND THIS HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS. FLEW UNDER OUR RADAR, BUT IT HAS BEEN. AND ROSE McCOWAN HAS BEEN WATCHING IT ALSO AND HAS THOUGHTS ABOUT IT. SHE JOINS US NOW. ROSE McGOWAN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING ON TONIGHT. >> HI, TUCKER. NICE TO MEET YOU TOO. I ALSO HAVE AN OPEN MIND. HE WAS MY FAVORITE QUALITY AS A FIRST FOR HIS SAFETY. I'M COMING AT THIS COLD. I AGAIN HAVEN'T SEEN BRITNEY SPEARS SINCE 2003. I JUST HEARD SHE HAS BEEN UNDER CONSERVATORSHIP. MAKE THE CASE, IF YOU WOULD. WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS THAT BAD OR GOOD? >> WELL, IN MY OPINION AND IN MANY OTHER'S, IMAGINE YOU ARE A 25-YEAR-OLD YOUNG WOMAN OR YOUNG HUMAN WHO HAS BEEN FORCED TO PERFORM SINCE AS LONG AS SHE COULD WALK TO SUPPORT HER FAMILY. HER FATHER PUT HER UNDER A CONSERVATORSHIP AT AGE 25. MANY IN THE MEDIA LAUGHED AND SCORNED HER WHEN SHE SHAVED HER HEAD. I LIVED IN HOLLYWOOD DURING THAT TIME AND I MADE IT MY LIFE'S MISSION TO TELL ALL OF YOU OUT THERE WHAT SO MANY OF YOU REALLY KNOW DEEP DOWN. THAT FAME AT HOLLYWOOD AND THE MEDIA MACHINE ARE ROTTEN TO THE CORE. AND THEY DO HURT AND THEY DO DAMAGE. AT AGE 25, HER FATHER AND A JUDGE RULED WITH MANY PAID OFF DOCTOR'S HELP THAT BRITNEY SPEARS HAD DEMENTIA. SO, SINCE THEN, SHE HAS GONE ON TO DO A FIVE YEAR IN VEGAS. SHE HAS GONE ON A TOUR. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IS LITERALLY A CULTURAL LANDMARK MOMENT. IT IS A CULTURAL RESET. SHE GOT TO SPEAK FOR THE FIRST TIME I BELIEVE IN HER LIFE. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO HER IS HORRIFIC. AND I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT A RICH POP PRINCESS, RIGHT? BUT I THINK IT IS DEEPER THAN THAT AND I THINK IT GOES TO WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, WHICH IS THE ROCK AND THE MACHINE AND HOW SOCIETY ALSO PLAYS A PART IN A WE WEIRD FORM OF OPPRESSION. IT'S THE ONE MAN, YOU HAVE PUSHED ALL MY BUTTONS, I HAVE TO SAY. THE IDEA THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS CRUSHED BY FORCING LARGER AND DEEP DOWN IT REALLY IS ROTTEN AND PEOPLE ARE TREATED AS DISPOSABLE OBJECTS RATHER THAN AS HUMAN BEINGS WITH SOULS. I MEAN, THAT IS ON DISPLAY EVERY SINGLE DAY. PARDON MY IGNORANCE, BUT QUICKLY, CONSERVATORSHIP MEANS SHE CAN'T MAKE BASIC LIFE DECISIONS FOR HERSELF? >> ABSOLUTELY NONE. SHE CAN MAKE NO DECISIONS. WHEN SHE SEES HER KIDS, WHAT MEDICINE SHE TAKES. SHE SAID TODAY, BRITNEY SPEARS SAID THEY PUT HER ON LITHIUM. THAT IS AN INCREDIBLY HELPFUL DRUG FOR SOME, BUT A HARD-CORE DRUG. SHE SAID SHE WAS DOPED OUT. I'M SUMMARIZING. SHE, I THINK IS READY TO BLOW THE LID. SHE SAID TODAY SHE IS SO ANGRY, IT'S INSANE. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF RAGE AFTER BEING -- SORRY, GO AHEAD. >> Tucker: NO, NO, NO, I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. I'M LISTENING INTENTLY. >> OH, SORRY. SO, THE THING IS, I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GO ON THE RECORD ABOUT HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND THAT KIND OF SICKNESS. AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRULY PUTTING YOUR ENTERTAINMENT IN YOUR HEAD. WHILE WE HAVE ALL BEEN ENTERTAINED BY BRITNEY SPEARS, SHE HAS BEEN BEING TORTURED. AND I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE ONE PERSON. BUT THEY HAVE DONE THIS TO WOMEN AND HUMANS AND WHISTLE-BLOWERS, AND PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE. AND LIKE YOU SAID, TUCKER, THE PEOPLE, THE MONSTERS IN POWER THAT CONTROL THE PUPPETS, NOT JUST HER. BUT THE MESSAGE IT SENDS TO EVERY GIRL OR EVERY BOY OUT THERE I'M A ARE DISPOSABLE AND THE ELITE CAN OWN YOU. >> Tucker: SO I THINK IT MATTERS. I DO. I THINK THE INDIVIDUAL MATTERS ABOVE ALL. AND IF THEY CAN DESTROY ONE PERSON, THEY CAN DESTROY EVERYONE. I KNOW NOTHING BUT WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME. BUT I THINK YOU MAKE A REALLY COMPELLING CASE. I LOVE THAT YOU CARE AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT YOU CAME ON TONIGHT. ROSE McGOWAN, THANK YOU VERY MU
