Rose McGowan Cancels Public Appearance for Her New Book After Verbal Assault at Reading: “I have given enough. I have given beauty”

Share

That’s it for Rose McGowan. She’s canceled public appearances for her book “Brave” after a verbal assault from a heckler at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square. McGowan is brave, she went into this as a warrior. But she’s also polarizing. Her talk show appearance should be preceded with a warning like BRACE YOURSELF. She reminds me of Courtney Love in the bad old days. “Brave,” meantime, isn’t selling like hot cakes, more like cold latkes. Her E! show “Citizen Rose,” scored fewer than 200,000 viewers on Sunday. Now she’s going to come off the road. And, of course, she and Ronan Farrow are teasing about another sexual abuser who’s “high powered.” Hey, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. More and more this reminds me of the Ellen James Society from “The World According to Garp.”
