A day after her show “Roseanne” was canceled by ABC, Roseanne Barr issued a statement.
She cited Ambien again in a later tweet when she said, “Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”
The actress and comedian posted a tweet that has since been deleted, comparing ex-Obama advisor Valerie Jarett to “Planet of the Apes.” Barr had tweeted: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
Roseanne also tweeted an apology hours after that, saying, “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.”
Hours later, Disney, which owns ABC, canned her No. 1-rated show.
“Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!!,” Barr wrote in a Tweet late on Tuesday. “I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people, and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet.”
