Roseanne Barr is under fire in the worst way.
The actress, who’s risen to prominence again with the successful reboot of her ABC sitcom, is being lashed after making comments that many have deemed the definition of racist.
Full story below…
[UPDATED]
When replying to a Twitter jab at President Obama aide Valerie Jarrett (who was being accused of “helping hide a lot” by a disgruntled commenter), Barr relayed that Jarrett was an “ape.”
Her exact response was: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
As the furore intensified, the Donald Trump endorsing comedienne deleted the comments. Nonetheless, in today’s climate, very little ever truly goes away:
Attempting a clean-up, Barr snatched the tweet and issued another set apologizing:

She can keep it and delete it. Because the reality is that not a single part of it is sincere.
For yours truly, I’d much rather know who thinks like that than have folk smile and pretend only to harbour said sentiments.
While on the topic of censorship, one has to wonder if there’ll be any repercussions from ABC?
Because, while it may seem like an unrelated reach, we’re in an era where entertainers are suffering the repercussions of harder to prove antics (see: R. Kelly/Spotify). So why not Roseanne?
Silly woman.
UPDATE:
Afro-American comedienne Wanda Sykes has announced that she will not be returning to the ‘Roseanne’ show next season the wake of Barr’s comments. She had been serving as a consulting producer.
Her ugly racist old ass is CANCELLED. White trash old h**. No wonder she can’t keep a man. She is full of hate.
Damn first you were canceled by David 3 time and now Twitter is cancelling Rosie. May has been a VERY harsh month. Too much cancellations and exposing, where is the LOVE!?
rosanne has been racist. Why surprised now?
Fat p**
Sadly the difference between this piece of white trash sh*t and R Kelly is that the majority of her viewers are her kind that also voted for that idiot. So don’t expect any REAL repercussions from ABC.
May has definitely been the month of exposing in 2018. Sheesh folks are getting clocked LEFT AND RIGHT!!!
Now the show is canceled……smh. There’s a difference from freedom of speech and being completely disrespectful.
She let her lopsided fat asss get ahead of herself…she’s just the original Mama June/Honey Boo Boo of white trash TV ? She’s the original don dada of that ish lol ? She’s just the funny made BISH sitting on that ugly couch and laughing at the dinner table! And this BISH disrespected the national anthem far greater than anyone in existence, let’s not forget! She’s cancelled and she gone! ABC made the right call and I applaud them! Bye you old stank HEFFA! 2018 ain’t playing around and I’m loving it! Respect for all people and let’s do much better than LOWanne!
Update: ABC has officially cancelled Roseanne.
I dont believe she is a racist. Just an old white lady in the new America. she is not cancelled.
She’s so an ugly human being.
Sara Gilbert must be pissed! After all the work she did to get that show back on the air, Roseanne single-handedly tore it down. ABC has officially cancelled the show. Wanda Sykes wasn’t gonna come back anyway.
