Roseanne Conner may have been killed off — but Roseanne Barr isn’t going to play dead.

The comedienne lashed out in anger Tuesday on Twitter a short time after ABC aired “The Conners” — a spin off of her hit show “Roseanne” that was created after Barr was fired for making a racist tweet earlier this year.

“I AIN’T DEAD, BITCHES!!!!” she tweeted a hour and a half after the episode, in which Barr’s character, which she had played since the 1980s, was killed off in an accidental opiod overdose.

In a more measured statement released later Tuesday, Barr said she “regrets” ABC canceled the series and killed her character in “an unnecessarily grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show.”

ABC was unwilling to accept her apology for the tweet linking former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, who is African American, to “The Planet of the Apes,” she said, “thereby denying the twin American values of both repentance and forgiveness.”
