Roseanne Barr Calls Natalie Portman 'Repulsive' For Skipping Awards Ceremony in Israel

Roseanne Barr is putting Natalie Portman on blast.

While promoting her upcoming trip to Israel in an interview with the Israel Hayom newspaper, the 66-year-old disgraced actress called the 37-year-old Oscar-winning actress “repulsive” for declining to accept an award in Israel back in April.

“It was really sickening, I find her repulsive,” Roseanne said of Natalie. “She was raised in incredible privilege of safety in the Jewish state and knows nothing about anti-Semitism.”

Back in April, Natalie declined the Genesis Prize because she “didn’t want to be seen endorsing” the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was due to attend.

Roseanne added: “She’s the darling of the left here, the Jewish left in Hollywood, she is a complete hypocrite who grew up in safety and privilege, like I said before, and knows nothing about what she speaks of.”
