Roseanne Barr went into emergency damage-control mode after sending out a politically charged tweet linking Chelsea Clinton to liberal donor George Soros and a racially charged tweet saying former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, is like the "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby."
The latter led to an almost immediate mea culpa, and a vow to never tweet again.
"I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste," she tweeted, after writing she was quitting Twitter.
Her account is now deactivated, but many don't think that is enough. Some are calling for ABC to cancel her highly rated reboot of "Roseanne."
Fox News' calls for comment to Barr and ABC were not immediately returned.
Damn she's dumb....
How soon before Fox picks it up
what a dumbass......her racist ass got a future in politics probably but her entertainment career is done lol. Good for her.
Nobody this desperate to touch this shit.How soon before Fox picks it up

Yeah you got a good point. I was shocked Tom Allen got picked up after his ass showing.I was half joking
but their 'news' division has no shame, they picked Last Man (Tim Allen is a Trump supporter as well) and pending sell to Disney; Fox main channel is looking for programming that appeals to the MAGA crowd.
stranger things have happened like Trump being president
@largebillsonlyplease

I don't think so@ViCiouS @fonzerrillii @ansatsusha_gouki @largebillsonlyplease
hold on I don't know i f I agree with that...
yeah the on air talent I got o real feelings for but the working people?
That is foul she messed up they money.
I wanted to ask since it was ALREADY renewed?
Is ABC paying EVERYONE for the next season anyway?
I don't think so
ABC buys the show from the production company, renewing the season is really placing an order for x number of episodes
So in essence today they canceled the order... we don't know if production for next season has started yet (writing)
There may be some money owed but not for the full order
