Roseanne Lashes Out At Former Cast Members: 'You Throw Me Under The Bus, Nice!'

[DonViejo]

by Joseph A. Wulfsohn | 5:49 am, May 30th, 2018

Roseanne Barr spent the early hours of Wednesday morning reacting to statements made by cast members of her now-cancelled hit show Roseanne.

Michael Fishman, who returned to the show as D.J. Conner, issued a lengthy statement in reaction to Roseanne’s racist tweet attacking former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett. Here’s a portion of Fishman’s statement:

Today is one of the hardest in my life. I feel devastated, not for the end of the Roseanne show, but for all those who poured their hearts and souls into our jobs, and the audience that welcomed us into their homes. Our cast, crew, writers, and production staff strived for inclusiveness, with numerous storylines designed to reflect inclusiveness. The words of one person do not exemplify the thinking of all involved.

Well, Roseanne had a sharp rebuke for Fishman, claiming he threw her “under the bus.”

Roseanne also reacted to Sara Gilbert‘s statement, who played her TV daughter Darlene Conner and was serving as an executive producer of the reboot.

1. barr doing the typical conservative move in making herself the victim for her own action

no one tweeted her shit except her

she may not want to own it but we are not letting her slink away

[Afromania]

27. Conservative Victim Card in full effect.

[magicarpet]

41. Is this not the .......

...... Rethug Nazi - "Let's take some personal responsibility for our actions" crowd ? Or does that apply to everyone else except for them ?

Claim victim-hood if caught red handed.

[Afromania]

51. hypocrisy at its finest

[link:|

[magicarpet]

54. Ha ! Very good credit-less card.

[Siwsan]

2. I have no doubt she expected everyone to jump to her defense.

Loyalty only goes so far when your livelihood has been completely derailed.

I do wish they'd revamp the show, sans Roseanne, and see if they can pick up a whole new audience. I didn't watch this version of the show but I understood that Dan was also a conservative. The show could easily still 'represent' both sides of the political spectrum but with a lower discomfort level. I didn't watch because I can't stand Roseanne Barr. I love the rest of the cast, but not enough to overlook, or move past, her acting and voice tone. Nails on a chalkboard would be a preferred alternative.

[Girard442]

7. I think I'd watch the show where they killed off her character.

[flibbitygiblets]

36. Or just disowned her. Or had her committed.

Yeah, I'd watch that

[calimary]

57. I was halfway waiting for an episode later in the series in which Roseanne's character

starts to see that her precious donald is actually NOT delivering on his promises, and times remain tough for her family, and she and Dan are probably facing losing their house ANYWAY.

Guess in that regard, at least Roseanne's TV family will be spared the harsh realities of the trump effect - unlike a whole lot of his real-life fans. I suspect some of them are gonna start waking up when they begin to notice that gas is more expensive, their health care costs are racing skyward with no let-up, and that fabulous raise that was anticipated never actually came.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

61. Haha! Me too!

[EffieBlack]

39. I'd watch it

I used to watch back in the day, DESPITE her since I found her extremely annoying but enjoyed the rest of the cast.

The fact that most of the other actors didn’t make careers of playing one character but went on to have success as ACTORS, not personalities, says a lot about the talent of the leads on that show relative to its star.

[Siwsan]

42. I couldn't agree with you, more!

She has always been a one trick pony.

[sdfernando]

62. Well they'd have to rename it as well

the name REEKS and will ever be associated with Barr...we cannot lower the barr, she did that all herself!

[Siwsan]

64. 'The Connor Family' has been tossed about

Which is fitting.

[sdfernando]

66. That would work

although I've never been a fan of the show so probably still won't watch.

[gratuitous]

3. It wouldn't be a full-on conservative meltdown without some victimhood

Poor Roseanne; everyone's so mean to HER.

A note to the pooh-bahs of the entertainment industry: This is going to keep happening as long as you wink at past indiscretions and push people of dubious reputation forward. Get serious about racism, misogyny, rape culture, and other dehumanizing bigotry, because the American people are serious about it. The wiggle room is gone, and people are talking openly about what was whispered previously.

[Girard442]

4. I would never have imagined that Roseanne could be this self-destructive.

I'd guess that the other people in the show didn't think so either, else they wouldn't have put their careers at risk like they did.

[sunRISEnow]

5. Barr was apologizing and telling people not to excuse her behavior. Now this.

Outraged that people stand up to her racist comments. She should expect nothing less, but instead she wants them to stay quiet.

[EffieBlack]

6. This woman is mentally ill. Someone needs to get her some help. Seriously.

[Oneironaut]

19. I think she's just manipulative

First she posts that she’s leaving Twitter. Then, she says she was on Ambien. Now, she’s playing the victim that all the mean bullies are picking on.

Being a narcissistic racist could be a mental illness, but in reality, she just sounds like a jerk!

[EffieBlack]

20. She's certainly manipulative - and possibly a narcissist. But I also think she's mentally ill

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yes. She spent time in a psychiatric hospital as a teen.

She suffered a brain injury in a car wreck, and people around her at the time said it changed her personality so much she was committed to the state hospital. I can't help but wonder this is more of the same. I'm sure being married to Tom Arnold for that stretch of time didn't help matters, either.

[femmedem]

78. Thank you for posting that.

I never knew she'd suffered a traumatic brain injury. That explains so much.

I can't help but wonder about the woman she could have been.

[RandomAccess]

35. She suffered from MPD earlier in her life,

and I believe she still does.

[Major Nikon]

45. Assholery isn't a mental illness

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Call me crazy, but...

...I don’t see the show coming back for a third time around.

[Maeve]

9. You threw yourself under it, fool

And all the others who depended on the show as well--YOU, no one else. Take some f-ing responsibility for your own actions!

[Phoenix61]

18. +1

What a whiny little snowflake.

[calimary]

67. AND for your fellow actors. And the crew. And all the worker-bees who write, produce, promote,

prompt, direct, do the makeup, mind the costumes, handle the lighting, the cameras, gaffer and other crew duties. It takes a LOT of professionals to put a show on the air, and members of several unions, and lots of other unsung heroes. They're all out of work because of your own stupidity and jerkitude. Hope they can fold in on other productions so they don't fall too far behind. Just because YOU felt like mouthing off in real "style": crude, vulgar, insulting, insensitive, horridly racist - and then excusing it as merely "a bad joke." "

[Initech]

10. When you're already in a hole, stop digging!

[Orsino]

11. 0 to victim in mere hours.

Trumpy as hell.

[WhiteTara]

12. What a sad creature. Not one moment of introspection

and true regret. Simply forges ahead with victimhood and hate spews. She will have some alone time now and will be forced to spend time with herself. I doubt she will like it, she's such an unpleasant person, no one else wants to spend time with her either.

[SidDithers]

13. ...

Sid

[Stuart G]

14. Roseanne did it again..She just couldn't shut the fu*k up..

The apology was a stand alone statement. And a reasonable one. If needed, Roseanne could have used the exact same words again. Same words just an apology. Perhaps if done enough times, it could have actually helped her. And maybe ...just maybe..she could have rebounded into another show...

...But NO, ...she attacks someone else. That wasn't smart. Roseanne should not have attacked anyone else. What she should have done, is apologize again, and again for her stupid comment. Each time in a way that is honest and truthful. If done enough, at some point, people would forgive her..

But she had to start the attacks again......clearly she isn't the brightest bulb around...But after she gets done with her last few attacks, her bulb will be turned off for good.

.... People really don't have time fur such a stupid bulb...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

15. What happened to cancelling her Twitter account?

I thought I read she was going to do that yesterday.

[Cha]

72. Why isn't Twitter cancelling her account for Racist

BullShit.. or suspending it at the least?

[Hortensis]

16. So much for sincere repentance.

The natural fear and hostility within her, and millions of other conservatives, but also liberals to a much lesser degree, has been deliberately fostered and targeted to weaponize it.

Sure, Roseanne would have been the same person 30 years ago, but a better version of herself, not close to the worst.

We have to vote to break the right's power, to make sure we never see their worst version.

[Guilded Lilly]

17. Now, we all know Barr (or one of her convenient personalities) was never going to shut up and

leave Twitter.

She richly deserves the backlash. Her co-stars (though I could never figure out, other than financial motivations WHY they would want to fall down this particular rabbit hole again) are now victims of her maniac ego and ugly soulless racism, too.

The only thing “Wow! unreal” is her own perception of victimization.

[C_U_L8R]

21. Twitter, delete that account

Clearly, Twittter is trying to profit in its role of hate-amplifier.

[brush]

22. Something is missing upstairs with Barr. She's blaming everyone else...

for her self-inflicted, career-ending bout of racism.

Guess since she had done it before (conflated Susan Rice to an ape in 2013 with no consequence), she thought she could do it again to Valerie Jarret now that fellow racist trump is in office and she had a rebooted hit show.

Wrong.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. What a perfect example of why racists have endurecd, even among Liberal friends.

They believe that they have a social connection with liberal minded friends and that nothing that comes out of their mouth is going to endanger that relationship. I don't know why they would think so, but, there it is.

The only way to give them a wake up call is to either step up just like Gilbert and Fishman did, or grow distance in that relationship.

[gibraltar72]

25. National white victimhood day.

[RhodeIslandOne]

26. She's a miserable pile of shit

Always has been and always will be.

[Runningdawg]

65. 100%

[Zambero]

28. Roseanne threw herself under that bus

And what is a horrified bystander to do under those circumstances? I would have to say: Get out of the way of said bus, as it is well beyond your ability to intervene.

[jes06c]

29. I hope this whole fiasco is a lesson to the entire entertainment industry

Do business with Roseann Barr at your own risk.

If she hasn't already, she'll lash out at John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf, the two actors who easily had the most successful careers independent of her and her sitcom. I'm sure she's going to try to take credit for all of their success.

[ExciteBike66]

30. I was considering using Ambien to get to sleep tonight

but I am now thinking I might abstain....

[rurallib]

34. maybe trump should try some. Maybe it would change him from being a racist?

[EffieBlack]

43. Good idea. You don't want to all of a sudden be all racist and sh!t ...

[workinclasszero]

31. So Barr 'apoligized' for her rascist comment and said it was wrong

But slams her cast members for agreeing with her?

Not only is Roseanne a filthy racist Trump lovin deplorable, shes a f**kin liar to boot!

She has spewed out vile right wing hate and racism for years and years. ABC should have never let her back on the air in the first place.

She is the perfect example of a white privileged MAGA Trump deplorable though. Dems will never reach these insane haters EVER!

All Roseanne had to do was keep her damn hate to herself for the next ten damn years probably and watch millions and millions of dollars roll into her bank account but NOOOOOOOO!

Just like the working class deplorables that MUST vote for the racist-in-chief Trump even as he and his party destroy them, their HATE of PoC, libs, dems, Mexicans, gay people, etc is what those pigs LIVE FOR!

[Cha]

73. I didn't believe her apology anyway.. and just to document your post..

"She has spewed out vile right wing hate and racism for years and years"..

ABC canceled Roseanne's show over a racist tweet. Her feed's been full of racism and conspiracy theories for a decade."

Even when she became known for her support of Donald Trump’s candidacy, her reasoning for the support wasn’t based on personal conservatism (she previously ran for president in 2012 as part of a far-left fringe political party) but on her belief that Hillary Clinton was corrupt and left-wing candidates like Bernie Sanders spend too much time with the pope, who she told an interviewer “owns almost every dollar in the world.” And her tweets about Clinton and those associated with the former secretary of state were unhinged, to put it mildly (many have since been deleted):

Hillary "unhinged" RB.. Thanks Hillary!

5 Freaking Years Ago..

Revealed: Roseanne Barr compared another black Obama official, Susan Rice, to a 'big man with swinging ape balls' in 2013



snip//

"In March, she wrongly accused David Hogg, the Parkland school shooting survivor, of performing a Nazi salute at a gun control march."

snip//

Jarrett also said Disney CEO Bob Iger called her personally to apologize and gave her advanced notice that Barr's eponymous show was being cancelled before it was announced publicly.

'First of all, I think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. I'm fine. I'm worried about all the people out there who don't have a circle of friends and followers coming to their defense,' Jarrett said during the town hall.

'The person walking down the street minding their own business and they see someone clinging to their purse or walk across the street... or every black parent I know who has a boy who has to sit down and have a conversation, the talk as we call it,' she continued.

'Those ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day.

[workinclasszero]

77. Yeah there was no way Roseanne was going to keep her deplorable hate

bottled up for any length of time.

She viciously attacked David Hogg, Chelsea Clinton and George Soros like an unhinged infowars manic and ABC let it pass until they were finally forced to pull the plug.

How can a person with millions in the bank and not a care in the world be filled with so much hate for their fellow man?

This is what Fox "news", hate radio and the GOP have done to a generation of old baby boomers. Turned them into vile hate machines/zombies.

Roseanne Barr has lost her damn mind with right wing hate. She is just a famous example of what the hate peddlers of the right have done to millions of Americans.

[Prof.Higgins]

76. Sadly, these conclusions are sound and need to be the basis to combat all diabolical Trump bigots.

[Solly Mack]

32. Mel Gibson and Roseanne Barr to star together in "Lethal Wrecks"

[Auggie]

37. LOL

[rurallib]

33. I suspect the right is working to turn her into a martyr

someone who user their free speech and paid a price.

I can't think of many employers who wouldn't have fired her. I am sure my employer would have fired my sorry butt in a second had I said anything like that.

And I can't imagine any of my fellow employees (take that back, I can think of one) who would have stood behind me.

She lives in a fantasy world that Fox and their compadres have created where they can bully and intimidate whoever and whenever they want and if anyone bucks them, they become a victim.

Just letting off some steam.

[Initech]

40. Roseanne will be their next Kim Davis.

[blake2012]

46. Calling an African American an ape is not free soeexh

It is insulting and dehumanizing hate speech

[trueblue2007]

68. HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA..... ROSEANNE is a Whiner !!!!!

She is so immature. I can't believe she is serious.

[Alethia Merritt]

69. NO! Rosanne threw them under the bus with her remarks. They do not want to be known by the company

they keep. She tarnishes all their reputations. Obviously, she did not care about what her tweets would do to their image as co-cast members with her.

[mokawanis]

70. She tweets like tRump

shrill, consumed with anger, whiny.

[Cha]

71. RB channeling her inner trump.. "nice!" And All
