Roseanne Barr claims she was fired by ABC because she voted for Donald Trump

SPOILER ALERT! Rosie, you were fired because no one asked for a reboot of your show and you brought negative attention to the network for your public racist antics.

Roseanne Barr announced earlier this month that, rather than risk a potentially “stressful” exchange with a member of the press, she intended on starting a YouTube channel to broadcast her views.

The 65-year-old has now delivered on that promise, releasing an “official statement” on being fired from the American sitcom Roseanne by the network ABC.

Barr claims that her racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, the former Obama adviser, was not the reason she was fired. Instead, she blames her own outspoken support of Donald Trump, adding that she initially thought Jarrett was a white woman.

“When ABC called and asked me to explain my ‘egregious and unforgivable tweet,’ I told them I thought Valerie Jarrett was white,” the actor claims.

“I also said, ‘I am willing to go on The View, Jimmy Kimmel, or whatever other show you want me to go on and explain that to my audience’.

“Now, instead what happened was, about 40 minutes after that, my show was cancelled before even one advertiser pulled out and I was labelled a racist.

The actor also claims that she previously believed Valerie Jarrett ‘was white’Article via: Roseanne Barr claims she was fired by ABC because she voted for Donald Trump
