Rose McGowan Is Most Comfortable When Uncomfortable 

This is exactly how people behave when they have been traumatized and forced to live in ptsd for so long. She is breaking free and it looks crazy to most people. She is not crazy, just newly free.

Everyone keeps calling her crazy but she made total and complete sense. And that's EXACTLY what she is talking about. Gaslighting. If you think she's crazy, you're part of the problem. #ROSEARMY.

Often when people are terribly hurt, angry, and suffered a lot, they come off this way (erratic). It doesn’t mean that they are lying or stupid. It means they are in a lot of pain and there is so much emotion. I hope she finds some peace.

People called Corey Feldman crazy too. People tend to act “crazy” when they’ve been emotionally and sexually abused for years and people don’t believe them and ignore them via gaslighting.

I have struggled my whole life with depression and addiction. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Thanks to all those people who showed compassion.

Everything she said is literally true. Sometimes you just have to think a little bit outside of the box to understand what she is actually saying. I think she understands reality without glorification or anything else. I truly believe that it wouldn't even fucking matter if she 'delivered' her message any other way. I think society calling her crazy is not because of her delivery method, it's because she sees things in a different, more reflected way than other people. That makes her 'crazy'. And sometimes we have to bend to understand someone. It's not her fault, that some people 'don't get it', She is being herself and I actually believe that being herself is enough and much more needed in this world. Try to bend, try to listen and understand. If you watch this video with an open mind, I'll bet you'll get it.

Although I see what people are saying, still, I was able to follow her and understand perfectly her points. I think people are so caught up in her being in a "crisis" they miss her message. Im not saying people should follow her and make her their leader, rather just hearing her out, and not letting you being uncomfortable block you from some potentially valid points.

I love her so much because when they try to bring up the details of what happened to her, she is very vague and she brings it back to the cause and where she's at now and the fight for everybody because the truth it what happened in the past doesn't matter it's getting through and she knows that and that people just want the details for he gossip, not because it helps the cause. Because she knows there's thousands of girls out there just like her and they don't get their stories told on national television they suffer in silence, and she wants to do it for everybody. We're all in the same boat together, and she knows that. And she is brave because while some suffer in silence some come forward and are told they are liars and crazy and to shit up and that is a whole other kind of unimaginable alienation.

She reminds me of 'The girl who wish you hadnt started a conversation with at a Party' character from SNL

The sad part is she actually is speaking words of wisdom but the execution is so jumbled and manic that few people can understand it or desire to listen to it long enough so they just laugh through her entire cringey interview.

She has some points and made some funny intelligent jokes about Dubya. I do think she's brave. She still has stuff to figure out but who doesn't. She seems smarter, more honest, and like she has a bigger heart than most people.

She endured so much kudos to her for bouncing back I just wish I had that confidence even if it’s uncomfortable moments.

I think Stephen was legitimately uncomfortable during this interview, given how he ended it.

John Baptiste's face at 5:08 mark says it all

The power of 3 will set you free!!!!!!!

I want Jim carrey and rose McGowan to meet so badly

Jean-Baptiste hears the name of a Bach piece, plays the Bach piece. LOVE him.

2min in I stopped to look at the comments just to make sure I am not the only one that finds this cringe worthy and weird

I love Rose and I don't think anyone in Hollywood is as hellbent as telling the truth as she is. She's at the point where you are just DONE because she's witnessed so many cover ups and lying and systematic deceit and people gaslighting her - now it's like she's not going to hold anything back or protect anyone. She just has a very clear view of the absolute insanity and injustice in our society and I really feel her fury. I think this makes her very confrontational now because she is SO honest beyond the point of social norms, and that (plus what the media says) makes it easy for people to categorise her as unhinged and unstable but it's just like Stephen said in the interview - what she was saying seemed wild but it was completely valid.

This is great television! This reminds me of when I watched Charlie Manson speak in interviews. It's so fascinating.

This is one of the weirdest interviews I've seen on this show.

She is not having a conversation, she's just talking at Stephen which makes it really uncomfortable.

I mean she makes some very solid points, but her delivery is ruining people from listening to her...sad

She is so real. She understands the Universe for what it is. Speak up.

She's got a stream of consciousness delivery and yeah, she's a strange, strange woman. But I get kinda sick of people acting like you have to make the same tired small talk in order to deserve to be heard.

I honestly didn't find that to be uncomfortable or as chaotic as people are making it out to be. Seems like she doesn't want to keep talking about Weinstein is all and wants to be a little silly. If you want awkward watch Kanye on the Ellen show. That was awkward.

Is this the same Rose McGowan that was with Marilyn Manson back in the day? Holy shit what happened?

I think apart from the trauma of still being harassed by Harvey’s undercover friends in high places, which was recent, a part could tell she also acted like this on purpose; whether to mock the unhinged gaslighting or to loosen up the tight conformity of society.

I have no idea what I just watched.

This is what it looks like when you know the truth of what is going on and everyone else is committed to maintaining the facade of the status quo. What she said at 6:10 is really insightful.

LOL! Rose singing "I tell all my ho's, rake it up"!

Fascinating, I've never seen her more comfortable in an interview.

Stephen is the brave one here

Harvey Weinstein should be in jail not some fancy "rehab" spa in Arizona.

What the h*ll was that? Colbert's inner monologue: "Oh boy, we overstepped it with this one. Just make it through this interview...never again."

So funny how the edited segment of this interview that was shown in her own show, Citizen Rose, really makes it seem like their whole segment was so uncomfortable when, in fact, I think Colbert was very much inside his comfort zone the whole time. It's hard to get her if you just watch small clips. I highly recommend her book. It's a very good read and after reading it you would definitely understand where she's coming from. The reality show gives you a glimpse too but as reality shows go they do focus a lot on the drama of her stress promoting the book and it may leave you feeling she's unstable and I really think she's very centered considering everything she's gone and is going through.

I like Rose and feel for her, but she starting to give me a Charlie Sheen vibe.

This interview was the oddest thing I have ever seen, and perhaps the craziest but she makes some excellent points in the weirdest way possible. Her mind is just grabbing ideas and slamming them on tables its incredible to watch.

Mental health issues are a very serious issue!

What is going on with her? I get some of the things that she's saying but she's also a bit arrogant.

Obviously she had trauma, she says it herself. But also most of what she's saying is true. She mixes her mental instability with comedy and truth, which makes it hard to tell when she's serious or joking at times. But that shouldn't discredit her...just harder for people who don't get her humor.

Holy shit, poor Stephen, that was hard

This interview is so uncomfortable to watch. Poor Stephen, trying to keep this crazy train on the tracks.

I don't care I think Rose McGowan is brave for what she's doing. Kudos to her

Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand it when people put their shoes on my furniture. I immediately lose all respect. I learned not to do that when I was 2... So rude, arrogant, and dirty. Sorry it's just my pet peeve lol

One of the more bizarre interviews I've seen, like.. ever

"I know I sound like I'm being funny, and I am." Nope to both.

She’s high here.

I empathize with Rose, I am sad that she has been demeaned and defeated by the machine that is Hollywood hush money systems.... She has an incredible message, but she is so incoherent. I hope she receives help for her mental health, results of her innocence being taken away at a young age. She constantly looks like she is one thin string from completely breaking. Every interview I see of hers, she just makes little to no sense. This is part of the problem with her stpry, her message is an important and legitimate one. But her delivery is a mess.... And I don't wish to bring her down. More than once, she has trusted, and been harmed, and this is the result. She actually is a good spokesperson, in a way, for sexual assault victims. Because it ruins you. Emotionally and mentally. But people break her down, because she is struggling so much. If she came flat out saying, "I am still broken, I am still struggling," then she would be held on a pedestal. Instead, she is beaten down still by people who have the luxury of not understanding what sexual assault does to you. It destroys you. These people destroy you. And perpetuating this cycle, this society, are those who look down on victims struggling to come to terms with life again, which can take an entire lifetime to do. Refuting or refusing someone's story because the delivery is a mess, is precisely why these men, and the women helping them cover it up, continue to get away with it. We are more accepting of a poignant liar than we are of a hurting woman.

No one could have done this interview like Stephen Colbert. He followed the whole messy convo... pretty incredible

Well, we all know she was cracked out now 😂😂

Her facial expressions and behavior is strange!

As someone who has spent many years serving adults living with mental illness...she comes very much across as someone "in crisis"-- which given what is happening right now, only makes sense. Colbert handles it so professionally and sympathetically.

I used to like her and I understand that she has a point (I'm sorry for what happened to her and Harvey should go to jail, etc.) but she seems like she's about to go nuts. Someone should help her...

I wanna get drunk, smoke a cigarette and stay up till 5am talking about the universe with her 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why do we glorify mental instability ? Welcome to 2018

This is not the right forum or format for her. Her message is right, but her delivery is only going to alienate people.

It's great she spoke out but now she has delusions of grandeur and is loving the attention, and is showing a lack of respect to ppl

Hmm Im gonna say that she's not the crazy one but we are.

When narcissism meets cocaine abuse it's magical.

She sounds like a college kid who's come home from Christmas after their first semester.

Full clip title is "Rose McGowan is Most Comfortable When Everyone Else in the Frickin' Room is Uncomfortable" Is it brave to be 44 and still act like you just arrived to the first meeting of your sophomore year Theater Club?

Marilyn Manson sure dodged a bullet.

Beauty doesn't last. Take notes girlz...

As usual the best way to discredit a person and get others to stop listening to what they have to say is to call them "Crazy". What a shame

After reading what happened to her, I genuinely like this woman, and what she says and does in this video make much more sense. Go Rose!

Wow, respect Stephen. I know it’s your job but you deserve credit for keeping a calm head and keeping it steered. I would’ve ran away

She is way off in your face. No one will be taking her seriously in the way she acts. Rose you took the money then payments stop and this started. Not saying it did not happen to you. My biggest concern is this; You have not made a movie since forever, People forgot who who you are, Why are you not focussed on the kids that get abused but rather you want the world to look at you. Questionable you are

I love Stephen. He has has a genius level EQ. I wish when I go off the rails like Ms. McGowan I have a gentle, understanding human being like Stephen to listen to me.

They do have Doctors in Canada... and you get to see one without mortgaging the house, too.

An activist with her own army....all three of them LOL.

She reminds me of that movie Billy Jean: “fair is fair!!!!” 😂😂😂😂

That is quite the stream of unconsciousness thing she's got going.

I’m a liberal. She doesn’t represent us liberal women. No judgment. I wish her the best but I think she needs a gentle space to be. Like she’s been affected by her experiences and maybe she would benefit from some guidance- I mean she needs a psychiatrist. I can’t say it in a polite way.

Love Rose. Way to go Stephen. Way to stand up. Having her on is standing up for a lot. God bless you both your courage!

If you watch this a few more times, it"s less awkward actually. She didn't mean to be rude to him ( she even said "not you" after the khaki pants comments). Clearly, she still has still a lot of anger in her from what has happened and that shows in her way of acting and talking but who can blame her?

You know what's weird? The truth is that she has always been like this. Weird, outspoken, not giving a f*ck what people think of her person, yet just lately people have started saying that she is either on drugs or insane 🤔 like wtf? Yes this interview might be "cringey" to some of you, but c'mon, just because she has cut her hair short and is wearing comfortable clothes, instead having long hair and sexy clothes, doesn't mean that she is on a verge of breaking down or something. Damn it 😥

I hate to add but it’s sad she is missing her moment and misusing her opportunity to spread awareness. It’s like the alcohol and drugs took over and left hollow vacant woman.

Cocaine's one Hell of a Drug - Rick James

BEING Accutely aware of how easily words are twisted and then being actively engaged in proactively meticulous communication- while publicly beginning a newly agknowledged , outspoken and beautiful life, looks like this.

Hope she gets all the help and support at the earliest. She does not look like she is in good space at the moment.

That, my friends, is what it looks like when you've had your character and sanity smeared for decades with no control over your public image and have had to speak to people through their misconceptions of you knowing they don't really hear you. She's not crazy, she just doesn't have the ability to give a fuck what you think anymore. She couldn't survive if she did.

i have no idea what the fuck she said

itll be interesting to see her back as Paige on the Charmed reboot, tho i have my doubts of her accepting the role again.

Good on Batiste for being able to immediately play Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring at the drop of a hat like clockwork when requested. That was pretty cool to see.

stephen is really gracious

She reminds me of Russell Brand... but she has no fucks left to give. She is so real.

Man, I fucking love her for this and I love Colbert for going along with this. She's a real woman talking about some real shit. She's angry, honest, excited, passionate. She IS weird, but she knows it and she's comfortable with it. I wish more interviews were like this one, and I loved the bit about Bush - there probably *is* some truth there.

This is what happens to someone who is abused, especially if theyre alone in it for extensive periods of time, they degrade. You can judge her and call her a trainwreck but my guess is that none of you have been there.

It is honestly really sad what Weinstein and Hollywood have done to this woman. She is so clearly unstable and I feel for her.

I was there that day... stopped by to watch it again just to make sure I wasn't dreaming... boy, oh boy it really was that bad.

Stephen handled what could've been a massively off the rails interview incredibly well.

She expects us to believe those drugs were planted on her?

shes having her sinead oconnor moment

She’s so much fun I LOVE her!

Not only did she take down the "king of Hollywood", she sat on the throne and took the crown.

If I met a woman like this in real life....I would slowly back away.

There's an important distinction between #TimesUp/#MeToo and #RoseArmy... one of those centers ENTIRELY on an individual and that individuality is what motivates her every move. Did you all notice the line where she claims, "I'm the architect." Her movement centers on herself which is why many potential high-profile allies distanced themselves from her. This doesn't mean she isn't "Brave." It's just that she's using other people's bravery to boost her own sales. Look at all the deals she got this year alone: a book, a reality TV series, and a musical album coming out. She's riding this wave... WHICH IS FINE, I suppose. But, it should make it difficult for other people to find strength in her testimony. She diminishes the universality of the movement.

Seems like people are so used to interviews consisting of scripted PR bullshit, that a woman in a hoodie having a casual convo with the interviewer is instantly labeled "crazy".

A lot of comments about her behaviour, she's talking about getting out, escape from the industry monster, just let yourself go people, it does not matter if you're weird, extroverted, or socially awkward to the others. Just let yourself be, you don't have to behave/talk correctly in order to exist in the society, and if it's uncomfortable to the others is their bloody problem, they're trapped inside themselves just in order to fit, what an stupid thing to do. The message? Just fit and behave in order to being listened, that's part of the problem, everyone should have the right to act as they are or as they're feeling when some is experience a traumatic situation or living it again, empathy, people, that's the key word.
