Our first interview with Britney Spears on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. #freebritney

I see a very quiet but goofy young woman who was not prepared for the absolute tornado of fame that was upon her and would eventually get even worse. She needed good people around her and she didn’t have that. It’s just awful what happened to her. As much as I love her as a performer and singer, I hope she gets out of this conservatorship and retreats from public life and just lives a quiet “normal” life with her kids and boyfriend. She deserves that.

Because they're easily taken advantage of.
