Roseanne Barr's Reaction to the Cancellation of Her Hit Show
Let's be honest, this might not be the best time for Roseanne Barr to start pointing fingers. But that’s exactly what she’s doing. After her hit show, "Roseanne," got axed following a racist tweet she sent out, fans and critics alike are buzzing. Roseanne didn’t just sit quietly; instead, she retweeted several posts from her followers that suggested Michelle Obama might have had a hand in the sitcom's downfall. Could the former First Lady really be behind this? Let’s dive in and take a closer look.
Now, here’s the deal. Roseanne’s infamous tweet was directed at Valerie Jarrett, a former aide to President Barack Obama. Over the past couple of days, Roseanne has retweeted messages from fans who seem to place blame squarely on Michelle Obama. One tweet went viral, saying, “BREAKING: According to sources, ABC President Channing Dungey had an extended phone conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama before making the decision to cancel the Roseanne show. Michelle Obama was reportedly furious and insisted that an apology wasn’t enough.”

What Are Fans Saying About This Controversy?
Another fan chimed in with, “Interesting. A few days after the popular #ObamasNetflixShows trended everywhere, making people laugh. I’m not surprised, and I wouldn’t doubt it’s very true.” Roseanne herself jumped into the conversation, responding with a simple but intriguing question: “Is this true?”

This situation has everyone talking, and it's clear that Roseanne is trying to shift the narrative. But let's not forget what started all of this in the first place.
Roseanne's Apology: Was It Enough?
Since Roseanne’s offensive tweet on Tuesday, May 29, which read, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” she’s been apologizing left and right on Twitter. She’s made several attempts to make amends with Valerie Jarrett and the American public. In one tweet, she wrote, “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me—my joke was in bad taste.”
She continued in another tweet, saying, “I’m not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me.”
Another apology tweet read, “Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!! I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people, and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet. Guys, I did something unforgivable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning, and I was Ambien tweeting—it was Memorial Day too. I went too far, and I do not want it defended. It was egregious, indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t, but… don’t defend it, please.”
We’re all left wondering how this saga will unfold. Will Roseanne continue to point fingers, or will she take full responsibility for her actions? Only time will tell.
