Roseanne should not have said she was sorry as her joke was in no way racist. VJ does look like a cartoon.

Roseanne is a live wire. I'll give her that.

so your belief is that disney/ABC greenlighted a show they wanted to fail then cancelled it because it was successful.


seems a little delusional to me.

I love Roseanne Barr personally, but love’s got nothing to do with it.

I loved her show. A lot. But she could choose success and its concomitant goodies, or she could choose Trump. She chose Trump.

I’m trying to understand something. It goes like this:

I’ve got this successful show. I’m the darling of television. Ratings through the roof. Got the Malibu beach house, and a Bentley in the driveway. Got a housekeeper, Butler, chauffeur and my own hairdresser, cook and masseuse. Everyone loves me, and I couldn’t be happier

And in the middle of all this great news and luxurious bliss, a thought crosses my mind unexpectedly:

“Geez..I SURE HATE VALERIE JARRETT...that damn Iranian born Muslim! Lemme make a nasty tweet about her!”


I’ll conclude by saying there are things in this world that are so stupid and incongruous that you can’t draw a bead on it or rationalize it. The aforementioned about Roseanne is just one of them. 🙄

The joke was racist, very much so.


And I doubt her apology was sincere anyway.

I still would like to know what Valerie Jarrett ever did to Roseanne. Does Roseanne even know her? The hatred just seems misplaced if you don't even know someone. Valerie has been too classy to let it bother her. She's taken the high road.

About par for the course.

It made me sad. I don’t take joy in watching people unravel.

This isn't the first time Roseanne has behaved badly. At the same time, Hollywood will cover stuff up for their favored people. I think they probably already didn't like her so it didn't take much for them to leave her out to dry.
