Roseanne Barr reveals who is to blame for her career-ending racist tweet


Roseanne Barr deflected accountability for her career-ending Tweet in a new interview.

'I had my laptop there in bed, as always, and I opened it, and there was [a post with] a picture of Valerie Jarrett next to Helena Bonham Carter in full makeup as Ari in "Planet of the Apes," and they looked like Xerox copies of each other, so I captioned it.' In 2018, Barr's shocking 2am comment about former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett resulted in the cancellation of her 'Roseanne' reboot, with network bosses condemning her Tweet as 'abhorrent' and 'repugnant'; seen in a 2018 still from Roseanne with John Goodman 'I'm on my own baby, I'm above all that s**t,' she said this past February after Trump shunned her to appoint Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and scandal-ridden Mel Gibson in the role of Special Ambassadors to represent Hollywood.
