Roseanne Barr hints she may challenge cancellation of hit show
CBS News ^ | 05/31/2018

Posted on 05/31/2018 9:43:02 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

The day after ABC pulled the plug on her No. 1 show over a racist tweet, Roseanne Barr returned to Twitter with a vengeance. The embattled comic hinted she may challenge the cancellation, tweeting to her fans Wednesday, "you guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U [sic]." Barr created a firestorm this week when she posted a tweet likening former Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.

Barr originally said her tweet about Jarrett was "indefensible" and begged for forgiveness, reports CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers. Then on Wednesday, she insisted what she said wasn't racist but insensitive, hitting back at critics.

"I am tired of being smeared-over a stupid mistake erasing 30 yrs of activism," she wrote

Barr, who is Jewish, then went on to suggest that she was the victim, tweeting: "I think I spent the last 24 hours watching the party of inclusion, diversity, understanding, and acceptance, lynch a Jew."

 

Oh No She Didn't. She played the Jew Card?

I tried watching the show but turned it off when the gender-derangement nonsense started.

I think the attorneys could stay busy on this .

What do contracts say about cancelling a TV show? TV shows get cancelled all the time. Usually low ratings are the reason, but, I always thought the network carrying a show had that final say, and am sure the contracts would be written to ensure that the network can cancel at their discretion.

It’s okay with me.

She’s one of us. They have war waged against her now.

She can play any one of THEIR cards against them. It’s sweet!

BTW, she’s completely right about The Party of Tolerance and Inclusion. The “diversity and inclusion” crowd is neither diverse nor inclusive nor tolerant.

Black outweighs Jew. Also it was about Obama’s/Jarrett so is unforgivable.

That’s a false premise right there.

Roseanne was born with two sets of Sh*tKicker Genes.
She loves to stir the pot! Then tip the pot over.

“get back to U [sic].”

A superfluous, weaponized [sic] that is used to inform the reader that they’re supposed to think that the author is illiterate.

Roseanne recently signed a contract for two more seasons with ABC, so if she wants to fight on a “breach of contract” grounds she certainly can (whether she wins or not depends on how strong the morality clause is). Either way, my guess is that ABC will probably throw a few million at her to make her go away, the last thing they want is this fiasco to drag on in the courts....

“tweeting to her fans Wednesday, “you guys make me feel like fighting back”

The Donald Trump effect. Seems to be working for him.

Contract. I am sure it had a clause on conduct. That said, the show would have become "Wayne's World" after it moved out of Garth' s basement and was content controlled by Mr. Vanderhoff.

It would have died a miserable death of operatives stomping on content and networks caving or face Brennan and Clapper following employees little kids to school and following spouses.

Muzzie outweighs being bback or Jewish in the RAT Liberal pecking order. Then again, far too many Liberal RATs are Capos and not really observant Jews. Capos turned their fellow Jews in to save their rears.

I guess we now have to add MS-13 as well per Pelosi.
