what did roseanne barr say to get fired

ABC fired Roseanne Barr in May 2018 after she posted a tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett that compared Jarrett to an ape, and the network denounced the comment as racist and “abhorrent.”

In the tweet, Barr made a so‑called “joke” implying that if the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes” had a baby, it would be Valerie Jarrett, an African American woman who served as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama. The backlash was immediate; ABC canceled the then‑hit revival of Roseanne within hours, saying her Twitter comment was inconsistent with the network’s values, and Jarrett received a direct apology call from ABC leadership.

Barr later apologized, deleted the tweet, and publicly blamed taking the sleeping pill Ambien for her behavior, but the decision to cancel the show and drop her from various platforms remained in place. In the years since, she has continued to argue that she was treated unfairly and has described the experience as being “canceled” and losing her career over a single tweet, which keeps the incident a recurring forum and trending topic whenever debates about “cancel culture,” comedians, and free speech resurface.
