Roseanne has opened up, following ABC’s announcement about the “Roseanne” spinoff, “The Conners.”
The 65-year-old comedian spoke to spiritual adviser Rabbi Shmuley Boteach the day after her ABC sitcom ‘Roseanne’ was canceled in the wake of the tweet she posted about former Obama adivser Valerie Jarrett last month.
She apologized– again– for the tweet everyone deemed as “racist.”
During her tearful interview with the Rabbi, Barr said of her tweet: ‘It’s really hard to say this but, I didn’t mean what they think I meant’.
‘That’s what’s so painful, but I have to face that it hurt people. When you hurt people, even unwillingly, there’s no excuse. I don’t want to run off and blather on with excuses.
‘But I apologize to anyone who thought, or felt offended and who thought that I meant something that I, in fact, did not mean. It was my own ignorance, and there’s no excuse for that ignorance.’
I’m so sick of hearing her apologize for the tweet. It was a bad joke. Get over it. Liberals make worse jokes every single day.
She also lamented that some people didn’t accept her explanation blaming Ambien for the tweets.
‘That’s no excuse, but that is what was real,’ she said.
‘I horribly regret it. Are you kidding? I lost everything, and I regretted it before I lost everything.
‘And I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong. I’m going to accept what the consequences are,’ and I do, and I have. But they don’t ever stop. They don’t accept my apology, or explanation.
‘I’ve made myself a hate magnet. And as a Jew, it’s just horrible. It’s horrible.’
For the millionth time, she’s not racist.
‘I have black children in my family. I can’t, I can’t let ’em say these things about that, after thirty years of my putting my family and my health and my livelihood at risk to stand up for people,’ Barr told Boteach.
‘I’m a lot of things, a loud mouth and all that stuff. But I’m not stupid for God’s sake. I never would have wittingly called any black person, [I would never had said] they are a monkey. I just wouldn’t do that. I didn’t do that.
‘People think that I did that and it just kills me. I didn’t do that. And if they do think that, I’m just so sorry that I was so unclear and stupid. I’m very sorry. But I don’t think that and I would never do that. I have loved ones who are African-American, and I just can’t stand it. I’ve made a huge error and I told ABC when they called me.’
She’s not a racist, and I think it’s absolutely appalling that the left is STILL blasting her. Liberal “feminists” can call conservative women “feckless c*nts,” and that’s acceptable. But what Roseanne tweeted? Unforgivable.
