Roseanne Barr is looking back at being fired from Roseanne.

If you don’t know, the 70-year-old was fired from the revival of her sitcom back in 2018 after she posted a racist tweet about President Obama’s adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The Roseanne revival was then canceled, but ABC soon picked up a spinoff titled The Conners.

In the premiere episode of the spinoff, it was revealed that Roseanne‘s character had died of an opioid overdose.

In a new interview published on Thursday (February 9), Roseanne shared her true thoughts on the show killing off her character.

Roseanne Barr is speaking out in a new profile about the cancellation of her show Roseanne, which she blames partially on her co-star Sara Gilbert.

Following Roseanne‘s tweet about Valerie Jarrett, Sara tweeted that the remarks were “abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.”

ABC announced the cancellation of Roseanne just half an hour after Sara‘s tweet went out.

“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Roseanne said in a new interview with the Washington Post. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”

In response to the story, Sara told The Post, “While I’m extremely disappointed and heartbroken over the dissolution of the original show, she will always be family, and I will always love Roseanne.”

The first photos from the Roseanne spinoff, The Conners, have just debuted online. Since Roseanne was cancelled and she was fired from the show, Roseanne Barr will not be featured in the new series.

The new photos feature Dan (John Goodman), Becky (Lecy Goranson), Darlene (Sara Gilbert), Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) and Mark (Ames McNamara).

The show will premiere on Tuesday (October 16) at 8/7c on ABC.

WILL YOU BE WATCHING the brand new Roseanne spinoff show??

If you don’t know, Roseanne was fired several months back after sending out a racist tweet.

John Goodman is giving his first extensive interview after the cancellation of Roseanne due to the star Roseanne Barr‘s racist tweet.

“I was broken-hearted, but I thought, ‘OK, it’s just show business, I’m going to let it go. But I went through a period, about a month, where I was very depressed. I’m a depressive anyway, so any excuse that I can get to lower myself, I will. But that had a great deal to do with it, more than I wanted to admit,” John told The Times.

John added about the huge reaction to the racist tweet, “I was surprised. I’ll put it this way, I was surprised at the response. And that’s probably all I should say about it. I know, I know, for a fact that she’s not a racist.”

About the new reboot, The Conners, Roseanne signed over all her rights.

“She had to sign a paper saying that she relinquished all her rights to the show so that we could go on. I sent her an email and thanked her for that,” he said. “I did not hear anything back, but she was going through hell at the time. And she’s still going through hell.”

Jerry Seinfeld is weighing in on the cancellation of Roseanne, and her subsequent firing from the network after they picked up a spinoff featuring other characters.

“I didn’t see why it was necessary to fire her,” Jerry said of Roseanne Barr. “Why would you murder someone who’s committing suicide?”

“But I never saw someone ruin their entire career with one button push. That was fresh,” he added.

“I think they should get another Roseanne,” Jerry said of hiring another woman to play the role. “They brought Dan Conner back, he was dead and they brought him back. So, why can’t we get another Roseanne? There’s other funny women that could do that part. You need to get the comic in there. I hate to see a comic lose a job.”

Roseanne Barr is addressing the news that a Roseanne spinoff is officially coming to ABC without her.

The 65-year-old actress released a statement addressing the new show titled The Conners after ABC announced that she will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series after reaching a settlement with series producer Tom Werner.

“I regret the circumstances that have caused me to be removed from Roseanne,” Roseanne said in a statement. “I agreed to the settlement in order that 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew could be saved, and I wish the best for everyone involved.”

ABC hasn’t revealed how Roseanne‘s character will be written off the show, but describes the family having to deal with a “sudden turn of event.”

Last month, ABC cancelled the Roseanne spinoff after Roseanne sent out a racist tweet about President Obama‘s adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The Conners is set to premiere this fall.

“After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before,” ABC said in a statement about the upcoming show. “This iconic family – Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J. – grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging, and in-laws in working-class America. Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns – with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails.”

Original cast members John Goodman (Dan), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie), Sara Gilbert (Darlene), Lecy Goranson (Becky) and Michael Fishman (D.J.) have all signed on to be a part of the new spinoff.
