"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.
ABC, in a stunning move, has decided to cancel its Roseanne revival following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet Tuesday. "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Tuesday.
Early Tuesday, star, head writer and exec producer Barr attacked Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, in a since-deleted tweet in which she said "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." Barr subsequently apologized: "I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste."
Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger also weighed in on the decision to cancel Roseanne: "There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing," he tweeted.

Barr's tweet prompted a massive outcry across social media, with thousands condeming the actress-comedian's comments and calling on ABC to cancel her series. The Disney-owned network's decision to cancel the comedy marked the first time the network has taken action in response to one of Barr's controversial tweets.
Axing the Roseanne revival was no small decision for ABC.

Isn’t it the Left who insist we all come from apes? Roseanne was making fun of her looks Not her race.. The side-by-side photos speak for themselves.. She is not an attractive woman.
Maher on the other hand, took his rant to the highest level of vileness.. The Far Left feel falsely entitled to do that.
HER DAUGHTER

“Tolerance” means that WE have to tolerate THEM but THEY can hate us all they want.
Predictably, Hollywood celebrities have been stampeding over each other in an utterly ridiculous contest to see who can express the highest degree of moral outrage.
Where were they when Johnny Depp gave a speech at the Glastonbury Festival last year and asked the audience “when was the last time an actor assassinated a president?…It’s been awhile, Maybe it’s about time,” — remarks he later claimed were ‘jokes’......and he’s still working.
We had discussed earlier how soon ABC will cancel Rosanne's show. For the media to act this quickly, it showed that the cancelations were already on the way. And now the signal came.
Yes this was already set for cancellation before she spoke. The MSM is joined at the hip with Hollywood networks.
“Rahm Emanuel oversees the daily black on black bloodbath in Chicago yet he’s in his second term as Mayor. Roseanne made a joke and got her show cancelled! I guess a joke deemed as racist is a bigger issue to Democrats than blacks dying and that is pathetic!” - Elder Lansing

but Roseanne makes one joke and her show is canceled
That’s the way it works in America.
“To determine whether he is in fact the love child of a human woman and an orangatan from the Brooklyn zoo,” Maher said. “Look, I’m not saying your mother was repeatedly ****ing an orangutan back in the 1940’s, I don’t know if that’s true I hope it’s not true.
But given your face, your physique and your intelligence level and of course your hair, the American people deserve some real proof that your mother did not spend most nights in 1945 covering her body in banana oil sneaking into the monkey cage and compulsively humping an orange orangutan.”

Maher was fired within three hours, right? /s How do you feel about Bill's joke?
We're becoming the USSR!
And you can’t boycott them all no matter how much we’d like to.
I won’t even bother to answer you.
But you did.
How about a few more electrons and tell me why you are connecting The View with this?
It's the friendly thing to do.
It’s so true that—ALL—the people lecturing us about values are themselves the scum of the earth.
There were plenty of celebs saying President GW Bush looked like an ape or a monkey. They all didn’t get fired.
They constantly attack Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sarah Palin and her family also had to deal with a lot of garbage. Remember when some said she should be raped.
Yep, a lot of thin skinned libs out there with their stuffed animals, crying towels and safe space.
“I like Roseanne...and even more so now.”
I’ve been recording her old shows on our DirecTV DVR. The Roseanne shows are listed in my “Recordings” list, but what is played are shows with Julia Louis Dreyfus. I mean ... she’s GONE.
She still has her job. She even bragged about how she was going to keep it.
