The L’s just keep getting handed to comedienne Roseanne Barr.

Just two days after learning the hit reboot of her classic 90’s self-titled comedy had gotten the boot due to her racist jokes on Twitter, the star learned it would also be snatched from syndication via platforms like TV Land (click here to read more on that).

Despite weigh ins from commentators of every walk flooding the net, Barr was particularly stunned to see some of her own cast mates not only lend their opinions about the matter but also slam the controversial comedienne and distance themselves from the hoop-la.

Needless to say, Roseanne wasn’t too pleased with the action.  Look inside for her responses:

Why? Her concern that prison system treats people of colour unfairly.

Alas, her efforts have been met with laughter from those who say they through her supposed act.

As ABC disassociates itself from one controversy, a new lawsuit has has thrust the network back into the spotlight of scrutiny.

This time it’s via the estate of Michael Jackson, who have today filed a lawsuit against the channel.

Reps for the King Of Pop had expressed their disapproval of the broadcast of ‘The Last Days Of Michael Jackson’ and now are following through with a legal clapback.

And while MJ’s position as a public figure likely made it difficult to approach any such suit from a defamatory stance, his Estate are centering their filing on copyright. Specifically what they claim is was a disregard for theirs.

Taking to Twitter after her ongoing backlash reached a boiling point (despite previously promising to leave the social media platform), the actress issued another apology while blaming her racist behavior on the drug.

“…guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — i went 2 far & do not want it defended — it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please.”“Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”

The Barr backlash continues!

Embattled comedienne Roseanne and her castmates on the show that bears her name are all collectively paying the price for its star’s racist tendencies ill-timed and ill-received jokes on Twitter earlier today (click here to read more).  Taking to the social media platform to refer to Valerie Jarrett, the former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, as the baby of the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes,” the 65-year-old actress set off a firestorm of controversy – a fury that prompted a quick apology from her.

Unfortunately for her the bid for forgiveness was too little, too late.  ABC, the parent network to the wildly popular ‘Roseanne’ show reboot, immediately distanced itself from the comedienne by not only denouncing the cruel commentary but also cancelling the hit show.

As if that wasn’t enough, other networks and streaming platforms that aired the show (or its original) are following suit:
