Barr caused an uproar in May 2018 when she posted what many considered a racist tweet about Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. Reaction was swift, with the network dropping its highest-rated show within hours.

But in a wide-ranging story published Thursday, Barr told The Post she blames Gilbert, who played daughter Darlene Conner on the show.

Hours after Barr's early-morning post, Gilbert tweeted that Barr’s comments were “abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.”

“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Barr said. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”

She did it to herself.

Roseanne needs some serious help. She's severely mentally ill.

I'm sure Roseanne thinks she deserved to have the people who worked with her for so many years to at least say something along the lines of, "the Roseanne I know is not a racist," along with whatever condemnation they needed to express regarding what Roseanne said. That could have made a difference, but it didn't happen.

Maybe the Roseanne they know is a racist. Roseanne would be better off taking responsibility for where she is right now, instead of lashing out at Sara or anyone else.

Sara sounds like a miserable person, though, considering what Linda Perry recently said about her.

What did she say?

Roseanne is such a wackadoodle I’d take almost anything she said with a grain of salt.

Who cares what an ex thinks about someone? Maybe Perry was the problem.

What did she say?

All I was able to find was this culture, from PopCulture.com:

Perry, meanwhile, sang the praises of her then-wife back in November. "She's got her own thing, and so she created it, so now she’s blossoming, she's shining," Perry gushed. "I'm super happy for her because it took her a bit to get there, and now it’s happening, and I couldn’t be more proud."

Perry said that, before she arrived, Gilbert and her family didn’t celebrate Halloween, Christmas, or any holidays at all. She now says that Gilbert’s “miserable shtick” is very real.

Thank you.

I know that, in real-life, none of Gilbert’s family speaks to each other (her adopted sister, Melissa Gilbert, etc.). There’s def some issues going on with Sara, I think. According to Alison Arngrim in her own personal autobiography, having dinner at the Gilbert household was an absolutely bizarre experience, to say the least.

What did Alison say about Gilbert dinners? I know Melissa hasn't spoken to her brother in decades. I didn't realize there was a Sara/Melissa rift as well.

AA said there was no speaking and everyone was very robotic. No one ate any food and AA finished all their meals for them! Lol!

The Gilbert mom sounds like a real weirdo mostly because: Melissa was adopted by Mr. & Mrs. Gilbert, then a few years later the Gilberts divorced. Mrs. Gilbert then pursued a new relationship with another man and gave birth to Sara, but being the outrageous stage mom that she is, she wanted Sara to have the Gilbert name because of name recognition. So she changed the kid's name to Gilbert. What an insult to Sara's biological father. Sounds like Mrs. Gilbert is wacked!

I agree that taking responsibility may we’ll have resulted in continuation of the show as all had hoped. Public figures do and tweet so many pretty horrible things that are quickly passed by-I wish Ms. Barr had used this opportunity to role model a perspective that would have been easier to move beyond.

I love how people are riding Sara Gilbert and casting aspersions on her family (all rumor, hearsay and unconfirmed), when Roseanne Barr is the one who falsely accused her elderly parents of molesting her (https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/roseanne-barr-incest-156910/), denigrated the national anthem, ran her hit show into the ground in the last two seasons by making a working class Midwest family "go Hollywood," then later posted crackpot conspiracy theories all over social media (https://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-trump-fan-conspiracy-theories-2018-3/).

Also, Roseanne's relationship with her sister isn't all rainbows and sunshine, either. From the Amazon.com summary of the book, My Sister Roseanne: The True Story of Roseanne Barr Arnold:

What's it like to help your sister become the biggest, funniest comedian alive -- only to have her dump you & betray everything the two of you had worked for? Geraldine Barr grew up with Roseanne & dreamed & schemed with her, from the trailer parks of Colorado to the pinnacle of stardom. But the dream of fame & fortune turned to nightmare, as the sisters' apparently unbreakable bond of love & mutual support crumbled into resentment, hurt & mistrust. Now Geraldine reveals how the unthinkable came to happen.

But hey, in the face of all this, let's just post unsubstantiated rumors and hearsay about how "miserable" Sara Gilbert and imply she's on the outs with her family members, even though Melissa Gilbert has constantly posted tweets in support of her (https://popculture.com/reality-tv/2019/04/11/sara-gilbert-sister-melissa-gilbert-weighs-in-her-exit-the-talk/) and there have never been any negative statements about her any other people except Roseanne.

What did Alison say about Gilbert dinners? I know Melissa hasn't spoken to her brother in decades. I didn't realize there was a Sara/Melissa rift as well.

There is no Sara/Melissa rift. The person who posted seems to have an agenda. Implied that Linda Perry said that Sara G. was miserable, even though there is a tweet from Perry this year saying how proud she was of her work on The View (https://popculture.com/celebrity/2019/06/10/sara-gilbert-wife-linda-perry-couldnt-be-more-proud-the-talk-exit/). Implied there's some kind of rift between the two sisters, even though Melissa G. also posted this tweet in 2019 (https://popculture.com/reality-tv/2019/04/11/sara-gilbert-sister-melissa-gilbert-weighs-in-her-exit-the-talk/):

"I love my baby sister [Sara Gilbert] so much. I am so incredibly proud of her. She created an incredible show in [The Talk]. I know that this, for her, may feel like an ending but I also know, with all my heart, that this is really the beginning. Just watch!" Melissa shared Tuesday, shortly after her sister's emotional announcement.

AA said there was no speaking and everyone was very robotic. No one ate any food and AA finished all their meals for them! Lol!

That doesn't sound at all like anything else Alison has said about Melissa. She said she and Melissa were the best of friends.

She did it to herself.

So true. Roseanne opened her big, stupid mouth and said something hateful.

I don't feel sorry for her.

I don't, either. Roseanne Barr has had a long and storied history of being a train wreck, going back all the way to the 1990s when she screamed the National Anthem, rode the whole "mental illness" craze (remember when everyone was coming out, claiming to be mentally ill?) and accused her parents of molesting her. She also posed as Hitler baking cookies for a magazine:

This latest fiasco is just one of a long line of train wreck decisions. Had she not been fired when she did, Roseanne would've eventually done something worse. Trust me--she was weeks away from posting a Pepe the Frog meme or retweeting a blatantly white nationalist photo. :crazy:

No, she and Melissa are BFF’s. She simply stated how meals were at the Gilbert household. She had no vendetta against any of the Gilbert’s. She was making a joke out of how she would finish the meals off of everyone else’s plates.

Oy!

If it's the same passage I read in her bio, Miss Arngrim had this happen ONE TIME when she went to the Gilbert house as a teen and Mrs. Gilbert didn't think that the younger Gilberts were sufficiently enthusiastic or grateful over the chicken dinner served so Mrs. Gilbert gave ALL their meals to Miss Arngrim to punish her children for that. Since Miss Arngrim hadn't eaten that day and the meals DID look good, she wasn't put out by it but was a bit embarrassed on behalf of her friends and later tried to apologize to Melissa. Melissa instantly brushed it off and invited Miss Arngrim to join her in raiding the fridge when everyone else was asleep.

IMO, one tense meal in early childhood does NOT mandate that Sara became a pill as an adult (and only Miss Barr seems to have any real issue with her so consider that source).

One odd thing, though, is that their brother Jonathan bolted from the family as soon as he could as an adult - and Melissa seemed to just do an 'oh well' to that . OTOH Miss Arngrim and the late Richard Bull (his LHOTP sister and father) bonded with him for who he was more than at least Melissa and Mrs. Gilbert did. I've never heard of Sara making a peep whatsoever re whether she's kept in touch with Jonathan or even whether she is sad that he doesn't seem to have stayed connected with the other Gilberts.

To my knowledge he left the family and never looked back again at any of them. It’s odd, though, what Perry said about none of Sara’s children celebrating any holidays at all before she arrived. If that is true, what a bummer that would be to never have had a Halloween, etc. She said that they didn’t do, and I quote, “Jack sh-t,” until she (Perry) came along.

Do you have a source for that quote, CJMD? A Google search for Perry saying that pulls up nothing.

It's the last thing she says before she also says this:

“She’s such a talented artist,” she told Us. “She’s had a lot of incredible ideas that, for whatever reason, people weren’t jumping.”

Correct. All I’m saying is that I think Perry is trying to say many things simultaneously.

Btw, Gilbert is......mediocre in the talent area. The Conners isn’t that funny and her acting skills aren’t award winning.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting!

Objectively, we know that isn't true. Sara Gilbert won or has been nominated for many awards (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004960/awards) over the years, including nominations for "best supporting actress" (1993, 1993, 1994), "best supporting female" (1993), "best dramatic guest actress" (2010), "outstanding supporting actress", and wins for "outstanding young comedienne" (1992, 1993). IMDB says she's been nominated for 21 industry awards, and has won 9 of them.

I've wondered if Sara Gilbert had an issue with Roseanne Barr before the infamous tweet. Gilbert definitely pounced on Barr when it happened. Maybe it was Barr's support of President Trump that bothered Gilbert. I have a hard time believing that one tweet was the only issue Gilbert had with Barr.

There was no "pounce" on Roseanne from Sara, who was producing the reboot. In response to Roseanne's tweet, where Roseanne compared Valerie Jarrett to Planet of the Apes, Sara's tweet was quite short and to the point: 'Roseanne’s recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least."


Maybe it was Barr's support of President Trump that bothered Gilbert. I have a hard time believing that one tweet was the only issue Gilbert had with Barr.

You have a hard time believing that one tweet, where Roseanne made an ape joke about a black person, was enough to cause Sara to state that it was abhorrent? How many ape jokes on Twitter should Sara have been okay with?

Sara did the right thing by protecting her production, the actors involved, and her crew. The show was allowed to continue, albeit without Roseanne. Roseanne has blamed Ambien and Sara for "destroying her life", but the only person who hit 'send' on that tweet was Roseanne. If you want to stay employed, don't make racist jokes on Twitter.

Here’s the thing: it was well known Roseanne was a Trump supporter long before the reboot was announced. I remember thinking, “Since the character was based on her own life, how is a now right-wing Roseanne Barr going to play liberal Roseanne Conner?” That perplexed me even more than “How are they going to bring Dan Conner back from the dead?”

So if Roseanne’s termination had anything to with her being an outspoken Trump supporter, they wouldn’t have hired her in the first place.

And it wasn’t just one tweet; the Valerie Jarrett incident was the straw that broke the camel’s back. ABC had spoken to her before about her social media conduct.

I remember one particularly ugly tweet while the reboot was on the air in which she called a then-17-year-old David Hogg, who had just survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, a Nazi. Just yikes.

Sara did the right thing by protecting her production, the actors involved, and her crew. The show was allowed to continue, albeit without Roseanne.

Exactly. I’m not sure why we’re still litigating this three years later — and it’s not just here. Every time The Conners’ Facebook page posts something, there’s at least one comment about how Roseanne was supposedly done dirty.

Honestly, while I do have some issues with all the retconning, The Conners is a fantastic show, and I think it’s better without Ms. Barr, who seemed out of place during season ten.

I'm glad Roseanne got fired. She deserved that for what she said.

Exactly, her support of Trump had NOTHING to do with it. Personally The Conners is far better than Roseanne s9-10 as well.

And Roseanne is wholly responsible for her demise on the show.

Freedom to speak your mind publicly does not shield you from the consequences.
