BREAKING: ABC cancels “Roseanne” after racist tweet
NEW YORK (AP) – ABC Network announced on Tuesday it is cancelling the ‘Roseanne’ reboot.
ABC’S decision comes after Barr suggested that former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett is a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.”
Barr tweeted: “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a babyvj.”
Jarrett is African-American and advised Barack and Michelle Obama.
Barr tweeted to Jarrett on Tuesday that she was sorry “for making a bad joke.”
The president for ABC Entertainment, Channing Dungey, sent out a statement a short time ago saying: “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.”
