Good to see that Roseanne Barr is taking responsibility for her actions.
After ABC canceled her “Roseanne” reboot last May over Barr’s racist tweet about Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, the comedian said in an interview, “I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong. I’m going to accept what the consequences are.’ ”
She seems to have changed her point of view.
In an interview with the Washington Post published Thursday, Barr blamed “Roseanne” co-star Sara Gilbert for tweeting that Barr’s slur about Jarrett had been “abhorrent.”
Barr told the paper, “[Gilbert] destroyed the show and my life with that tweet.”
