The channel put out an official statement revealing plans to pull the plug on the revived sitcom, after Barr compared an ex Obama aide to an ape.
“muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” Barr said earlier on Tuesday in response to a Twitter thread about Jarrett, a former adviser to Barack Obama
A statement from, Channing Dungey, president of ABC, said:
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.”
“This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.”
The premiere of Roseanne’s reboot brought in 18million live viewers and became one of the highest-rated new shows of the season.
Season two of the programme is currently in production and set to air this Autun on ABC.
