Roseanne says Sara Gilbert "destroyed the show and my life." - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dale Key · 03-22-2019, 10:56 PM

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.

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.

CJMD03 · 12-31-2019, 03:08 AM

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!
