Roseanne Barr tearfully breaks down in interview: 'I lost everything'
CNN ^ | June 25, 2015 | Lisa Respers France

Roseanne Barr said she "horribly" regrets sending tweets that many called racist, in an emotional interview released over the weekend.

The actress talked to her friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach last month for his podcast after she was fired and her popular ABC series was canceled. The inside story of how ABC fired Roseanne Barr

[snip]

The rebooted "Roseanne" was pulled May 29 after a series of bizarre tweets Barr sent. In one, she wrote about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."

Barr appeared to be sobbing as she told Boteach she has black children in her family and she "can't let 'em say these things about that, after 30 years of my putting my family and my health and my livelihood at risk to stand up for people."

"I'm a lot of things, a loud mouth and all that stuff," she said emotionally. "But I'm not stupid for God's sake. I never would have wittingly called any black person, [I would never had said] they are a monkey."

She should apologize more, wear a sign, pledge allegiance to the NYT, WaPost, and the Hammer and Sickle.... she needs to prove her contrition! Roseanne, cleanse your soul, and repent!

Roseanne needs to go on a tour of the country, Many people like her show and they will fill auditoriums to see her. If singers and comedians can tour the country so can Roseanne. Los Vegas would also be a good venue for her. There are other ways to work and make lots of money. She doesn’t have to beg to the networks there are other ways she can work.

They should really do a show about an Iranian communist who looks like Zera from the Planet of the Apes movie who is running a shadow government from the house of a former mozzlum President.

She can have a daughter who works for CNN, and have Secret Service protection as if she is a former Presidential family member. RATINGS!!!

Every part of that has been reported!

Don’t forget we are *deplorables* and Strzok said that while in a southern Virginia he could smell the Trump supporters.

Who did she think she was when she sent that tweet, Peter Strzok?

The august IG sniffed and poked around Strzok’s venomous, murderous tweets and concluded there was no bias, no sir, none at all.

But Roseanne tweets out a joke and, because the object is non-white, the world collapses around her.

Just goes to show that American society is in the cage with Pavlov’s dogs. Merely hint at the accusation of racism, and it starts salivating.

Yeah, the Incredibles is one of the most conservative movies made by Hollywood. Love the family dynamic in both movies.

How many here knew that the Lizard Woman’s Daddy was a Mulatto Communist?

I certainly didn’t and neither did Roseanne.

If she had just said “F the President” she wouldn’t have lost one dime.

I have to give it to Roseanne. I am not a fan of hers, but I truly did not know ValJar was black or of any African ancestry. Can’t be much. Genetically probably only 25% at best. She doesn’t look it. I am surrounded by Iranians here and she would fit right in. I thought she was Iranian only. But I always saw ValJar as a lizard, not an ape.

Not Iranian. Just a generic african american with scotch, native american, creole etc. Her parents lived in Iran and were americans - not persian.

Roseanne can still grow pot on her own private hawaiian island.

At least Barr doesn’t look like a planet of the apes extra, she’s got that going for her.

As far as we’re concerned, “The Conners” has already flopped.....
