Over the course of a whirlwind 24 hours, Roseanne Barr sort-of apologized after backlash over her racist tweet about Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett. She couldn?t mop up that mess, though. Hours later, ABC cancelled the Roseanne revival despite its stellar ratings. The move thrust the network?s normally reticent president, Channing Dungey, into the spotlight. Dungey labeled Barr?s tweet as ?abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." although Barr had declared that she?d quit Twitter amid the ruckus, she predictably broke her silence on Tuesday night.
What wasn?t entirely predictable was Roseanne?s attempt to blame her racist statement on the sleep drug Ambien. In this now-deleted pair of tweets, she also begged her followers not to seek retribution on ABC through a boycott.
