Nice going Roseanne....😣😣
Damn your big mouth....
shareTo be fair, the big mouth is part of her personality. There probably would never have been a Roseanne sitcom in the first place if it weren't for her abrasive, loud and nutty persona.
The upside to that is the comedy, the sitcom and entertaining interviews she gives.
The flip side and down side is exemplified by things like this most recent tweet.

I'm waiting for her to declare this a WITCH HUNT!

Roseanne Barr's ugly hatred isn't new. ABC's rejection of it, however, is: "That the show’s star had become a rabid conspiracy theorist who used her platform to push baseless rumors was brushed off like a mere annoyance, like Barr was an embarrassing grandma the network tolerated with an affectionate eye roll because hey, she’s family," says Cynthia Littleton. "That she had previously made racist statements like the one she made Tuesday was straight-up ignored. The inconvenient truth of the matter is that while the (Valerie) Jarrett insult was particularly awful, it wasn’t a particularly unusual statement for Barr to make. It was, despite her apology that she 'should have known better,' exactly in line with the persona Barr herself has cultivated — one ABC had to be aware of when it decided to get back in business with her."

This was the problem all along: Having Roseanne back meant having Roseanne back: "If we’ve learned anything from this," says Hank Stuever, "it’s that Roseanne is Roseanne is Roseanne. TV still needs a contrary, canÂtankerous character from which to tell the story of American life and politics in 2018. But Barr was never the right person for that job."

ABC doesn't deserve all this praise for Roseanne's cancelation when they put her back on TV following her history of racist/homophobic/Islamophobic tweets
Once a big fat loudmouth, always a big fat loudmouth. :(
