As the outcry swells over Roseanne Barr’s vile tweet about former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, Wanda Sykes tweeted today that she is leaving ABC’s Roseanne revival, on which she served as a writer and consulting producer.
Wanda Sykes✔ @iamwandasykes I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC. 12:04 PM - May 29, 2018
Sykes was one of the key writers on the revival and had been set to return for Season 2. She also appears on ABC’s hit comedy Black-ish, is producing the upcoming Throw Mama from the Game Show and hosted the GLAAD Media Awards last month.
The Roseanne star has apologized to Jarrett for tweeting what she said was “a joke” about her, but reaction has been swift and merciless. We’re waiting for ABC to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Barr tweeting that Obama’s former advisor looks like “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
Whitney Cummings said this month that she is won’t be returning to the Roseanne revival as executive producer/co-showrunner, which she called a “surreal, incredible experience.” Bruce Helford is taking over her roles for next season, which will be the sitcom’s 11th overall.
I don’t remember her from the original series, so no big loss.
Lost in the huge cloud of DemocRAT hypocrisy.
Gee these same Commies had NO problem when Michelle Wolf trashed Sarah Sanders TO HER FACE talking about how she should have aborted her babies..gee I thought liberals have a sense of humor they say that Comedians can makes jokes about anyone and it’s all good, remember?? I guess its A OK to make “Jokes” about Conservatives, but about Commie libs, not so much
Well...Bye!
Wanda Skyes said that she wished Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys had failed I dont remember much outrage from the commie pinkos to that one
Haven’t seen what Roseanne tweeted about ValJar, but I probably agree with Roseanne.
Forget race. Give her the business for being gay!
... tweeting that Obama’s former advisor looks like “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
Yes, Wanda can be funny.....but....
“Shut-up and sing”
“...Obama’s former advisor looks like “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
The first one to mention race is the racist.
What was the “racist tweet”?
It will only improve the show....................
Didn’t even know Sykes was part of the show... I truly don’t care for this woman, so surprised she is involved as a writer on this show.
... tweeting that Obama’s former advisor looks like “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
><><
It’s the truth.
Well, she left out one important part, after a fire.
It was right there in the excerpt:
...Barr tweeting that Obama’s former advisor looks like “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
