Roseanne Barr says her 'Conners' character gets killed off by opioid overdose

Mason66 said:
She has been diagnosed many times dating back to 1967 when she was hit by a car.

If you watch the Joe Rogan podcast with her, you will see it on full display.

Now that aside, she has explained that her tweet was not racist as she didn't mention the woman's appearance at all.

I don't understand why people continue to mischaracterize what she did as anything other than what she intended.

You did not answer my question, DR...I watch her for her acting skills, nothing else...

The last season of the regular run was horrible.

The revival just forgot about that last season, which was good.



Last night's premiere was a good story. I liked it enough that I'll keep watching the series, assuming I remember to turn the TV on next Tuesday night. I'm still sad about the loss of Roseanne Barr. Sad that she did what she did. Sad that America lost a show which could have helped overcome some partisan hatred. Not sure how they could have avoided firing her since she was already on thin ice with her past twitter behavior.

What did Roseanne do that you are sad about?

What you should be sad about is her cast that have known her for over 20 years throwing her away like trash so quickly.

Sara Gilbert will have a lot to answer for as well as Michael Fishman.

You think you have some kind of point here?

Is there anybody that does not know that Roseanne Barr is mentally ill? She freely admits it.

I think she said Bi-polar at one time in the podcast, but you can watch it yourself and see.

I don't believe she's a racist and besides that, if I stopped watching every celebrity who had character flaws I didn't approve of...I'd be watchin' nothin'...

Being racist. She did something racist. No one is criticizing her political views and they've nothing to do with her absence. I don't get tying doing something racist to republicans.

As I said, I watch for her acting skills, I could not care less about her personal life...wouldn't have known about this if she hadn't been fired...and the point is, you are not a DR so you have no idea what is her disease and what is her character...

Besides, there have been plenty of good actors/actresses with bi-polar....if ya wanna fire them for their disease you'll be firing a lot of them...I don't care about that, either...I care about what they do best, their acting skills...

Is this a game. Am I to say you did what I did?

Her absence has nothing to do with politics.

.... She talked about what this person looked like - an anthropomorphic ape from a movie.

To say she didn't talk about appearance is ridiculous.

She didn't mention appearance. She said the two had a baby.

If you don't understand what she was trying to say by now, I don't know what to tell you.

Lmao, you're doubling down on saying that someone is the offspring of an anthropomophic ape isn't a reference to their appearance?

So you admit you don't know what she meant by that.

You should look it up.

Her explanations are all over the internet.

Now it's not because she did something racist?

Your absurdity has no limits. Let's see what millions of people mean when they talk about planet of the apes:

Are you done looking silly now? Or are we going to have a long drawn out discussion on why planet of the apes isn't a reference to anthropomorphic apes?

Before you make yourself look more silly, go look at her explanation as to what she meant.

It doesn't matter what you read into it, it only matters what she meant by it.

And that could have happened if she did not first deny doing anything wrong, then blaming it on medication and then doubling down on it. Healing/overcoming some partisan dislikes can only happen if that person feels they did something wrong and reach out to heal the wound of his/her comments. As long as that does not happen, no healing can take place.

Sadly that seems an epidemic attitude among people.

Lmao her a explanation was that she thought it was a white person - so that made it okay to refer to her as an offspring of terrorists and anthropomorphic monkeys.

Is it no longer racist to call people from a race monkeys as long as you're sure they belong to a specific racial group and not another?

She denied doing anything wrong because she did nothing wrong.

She knew what she meant to say and by the time she woke up from her drug induced sleep, her career was over.

The media had misunderstood what it meant and ran with it. it was all downhill from there.

What is it you think she did wrong?

Oh, so it's a conspiracy because no one really objects to racism. I see where you're coming from.
