Fakey story. What Goodman said was neutral - Roseanne is missed, but the show goes on. The online reporter highlighted the she will be missed part of the story. Whoever did the online story foregrounded the part about the show going on. He wasn’t really backstabbing her, and there’s no real story here, if I’ve understood this correctly.
Watch the clip and see if the online story really matches what Goodman said.
He put more into this response to TMZ than he should have. He was asked how the show was without Roseanne.
He should have just said it was great and kept on walking if he wanted to give a neutral response.
Didn’t have to stop. Then say it was soooooo much fun. And great. And wonderful!
That's what I suspect, too. TMZ should never be considered a reliable source. The "reporter" wanted Goodman to say something negative about Roseanne and, after he didn't do so, simply made it appear he did.
