Comedian and actress Roseanne Barr leveled explosive claims against ABC and parent company Disney who wrote her out of the title role in the reboot of her iconic show ‘Roseanne’, for what many believe is because the outspoken Barr is conservative and a Donald Trump supporter.
After an initial 10-year run starting in 1988, the show returned in 2018 with most of its original cast, including Barr. That iteration was short-lived. The show was cancelled and Barr was abruptly fired over a tweet about former President Barack Obama and his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.
The network launched a spinoff of the show, ‘The Connors’, where they killed off Roseanne’s character, wiping away the inspiration and comedic genius behind the original version leaving behind a bland, woke version in its place.
In a new interview with the Daily Mail, Barr breaks her silence on the unceremonious firing and points to a deeper scandal behind her ouster saying that cancel culture gave her network bosses the rationale to get rid of her.
Trending Politics News reports:
“They were waiting for me to slip up,” the comedian alleged, further claiming that the network’s executives already had it out for her due to her outspoken support for President Donald Trump and conservative views. Barr also accused the network of taking extraordinary steps to axe the show before the post was ever made.
“They spied. They monitored everything I did. They wanted to censor me from the very beginning,” Barr told the Daily Mail. “They hijacked that tweet and made out it said something that it didn’t.”

The comedian also rescinded her apology ,in which she claimed she was “truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and looks,” adding that her joke was “in bad taste.”
“The worst mistake you can do is apologize to the left. Then they are on a crusade against you,” she said in the new interview. “Once you admit a mistake, they will keep on until you’re dead.”
