A day after ABC cancelled the reboot of Roseanne, following the star’s racist tweets, Barr tried to immediately mend the broken fence. She suggested her rant was fueled by the fact that she had taken the drug Ambien.
As much as I consider Barr to be a disgusting slob of a human being, I would have given her more credit if she had stood behind her remarks, as pathetic as they were. But no, like most people in the spotlight, she tried to pull back and salvage what is left of her career. Nice try.
The makers of Ambien issued a sharp statement, indicating that their drug has helped many people, and although it may have certain side effects for particular patients, racism is not one of them. Three cheers!
Barr now has to deal with the fact that she has cost many people their jobs. I don’t suppose she intends to support any of them financially, do you? She’ll likely go on a few more days doing her best to apologize for her, “inappropriate joke”. She’d be better served admitting that she meant what she said, take a job at Fox News and get it over with.
Roseanne Barr is a racist. Anyone who has ever worked with her knows that for certain now. She had her second chance and she blew it, in 10 seconds. She doesn’t deserve another.
I would say there is no place in society for people like her. But unfortunately, there are far too many places for her. One would be on a chair in the Oval Office.
At least she won’t be on television, being paid millions of dollars for being a common everyday slob of a human being.
Trapped in a Happy Life
