Roseanne Barr remembers it, and God told her to do it.

It was the Memorial Day weekend in 2018 and she was having trouble sleeping. Earlier in the day, the comedy star was named Bruce Helford, the lead writer of the “Roseanne” revival. Barr asked when she should plan to report to the ABC-rated Writers’ Office, which has renewed its second season.

She recalled: “He said to me, ‘Oh, the writer is back and we hope you can come and say hello.’ “When I heard it, I was like, ‘Fuck you. mine The writer's room mine Season 2. screw you. I won't come back. screw you. 'And I said, "Even if it kills me, I'm going to carry the biggest explosion ever."

Instead, she floated past her to sleep. But then some people interrupted her plumpness and the haze of drinking.

"I'm already having nightmares to never go back to that show, God woke me up. I lay in bed as always, I opened it, and then (with X post) the picture next to Helena Bonham Carter next to Valerie Jarrett put on full makeup. "It's in the middle of a three-month conversation I had with Iranian journalists who told me that women's rights were lost due to the Iranian deal." I am angry. ”

Jarrett, born in Iran, played a key role in the Obama administration’s negotiations in 2015 and the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal. With that in mind, Barr answered the meme with her own title: "The Muslim Brotherhood of Apes and a baby on the planet = vj." Until today, she says the "perfect title" that accompany the side-by-side photos. Barr claimed she didn't know Jarret was black at the time.

The ABC acted quickly. Within hours, former ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey canceled the show, pulling scheduled replays from the night's roster and pausing its campaign for the awards season. But seven years later, Barr did not express regret for her social media outbreak.

“My feeling is God telling me to do what I do, it’s a nuclear bomb,” she said of the immediate backlash and the subsequent constant media coverage. "The day I tweeted, more than 2 million Americans Googled the deal with Valerie Jarrett and Iran. That's what I meant. So, anyway."

The former rating queen is not shy about the moment that led to her new documentary Roseanne is America, which was launched on VOD and streaming platforms on June 10. "It's annoying, annoying, inconsistent with our values." Disney CEO Bob Iger went to Barr's lunch a year ago and brought her back to the internet, and he signed her to shoot.

In Barr's mind, this tweet made her comeback and angered many industries.

"They are so racist that I thought my tweet said that black people look like monkeys when it comes to "Planet of the Apes," which is a film about fascism. Rod Serling himself said it was about Jews in Germany. It's not a film about black people, Bob," she said.

The following year, Jimmy Kimmel joked about ABC's early lineup. "Remember last year when we let all of you get excited for 'bring two' and 'kids' and 'roseanne' and 's speechless?'" "Well, canceled, canceled, racist, canceled."

Barr said Iger put Kimmel into practice. "I don't know if he saw anything while looking in the mirror," she said of the Disney Chief. "Then he asked Jimmy to call me a racist. Kimmel did a blackface, right?" (Of course, Barr knew the answer to her own question. "Roseanne is America" ​​reappears on Kimmel clips, as well as a more creepy clip that includes Joy Behar in Blackface.)

Kimmel disputes Barr's version of the incident. "For more than 20 years, Bob Iger has never made any jokes or didn't make any jokes in advance. As always, I hope Roseanne goes well."

As for Eiger, Barr mentioned a Disney story that broke out a year after being fired. At the end of 2019, Disney top hats caught the attention of the company retreat, when he mistakenly used the common phrase “a horse of different colors” to describe the photo of Latondra Newton, an attorney’s diversity officer, riding a white horse. (Newton later said: "Bob later apologized to me, we had an honest and productive conversation. I forgave him. Bob has a long record as an inclusive champion and we continue to enjoy a positive relationship today. I think he is a friend.")

"The person who lives on swords died," Barr said. "I hope (Newton) can be fired. If he were me, I would have been fired for saying 'Bai horse."

"This is a false comparison. It's a private retreat at the deception awards ceremony, and Bob spoke to say he'll soon misunderstand that he might be misunderstood. He apologized immediately, and Bob and Bob handled this with the highest respect, professionalism and sensitivity."

When Barr looked back at the people who piled up and cheered for his demise, she said they had deviated from their own racism.

"This is Marxism 101. Accuse the other side of you for being guilty." "Divid people in the classroom."

From Barr's perspective, the "Roseanne" revival aims to unite people when it was deeply rooted in the United States during the first US president Donald Trump. Barr, who voted for Trump from the beginning, said she met resistance from executives.

"I went back to TV before the midterm elections in 2018 so I could say I didn't like America being divided in race, and when they portray all the Arabs as terrorists, I didn't like it either. That was in my show, it's my season 10, you know, they screwed up because they're racists and class, because they're terrorists like this, because they're terrorists like this, because they're terrorists like this, because they're terrorists like this, and they're probably terrorists. When I said I'm going to have a black granddaughter, they're not. But like the first show, I said, no, I'm going to do that, I'm going to be number one, and then you're going to kiss my ass or fire me."

Instead, the network hopes to bring LGBTQ+ dynamics to the Conners family.

She said: “Sara Gilbert came in and said, ‘Well, I think the thing is that people are more interested in the gender flow of their kids, and I think it’s Darlene going home with her gender liquid son.

Barr stands on the storyline of his black granddaughter and “falls in love” with actress Jayden Rey, who is cast as the next generation of members of the clan.

"Whoopi (Goldberg) congratulated me on the 'view'. She loved it, but the shit they wrote for Rey was rotten. "I know Wanda Sykes, so I want her to come because she's fun. still. But no matter what, I don't think she knows anything. ”

Before Sykes joined, the writer's room was almost entirely white, with Whitney Cummings exception. Barr found no kinship with female comedians.

"For some reason, Whitney Cummings was forced into my throat by Tom Werner because she did a few shit TV shows, so that was Peter's principle. I didn't renew her contract," Barr said. "She called me public several times on my tweet. She was offensive. Now she was going to the magazine because it paid." (Cummings has ripped the Democrats apart with some of her material, although she was never identified as Maga.) Representatives for Cummings did not respond to a request for comment.

Ultimately, Barr believes that the storyline of boycotting LGBTQ+ grandson has led her character Nuggrata in ABC. One might think she would have some connection with JK Rowling, who was accused of being anti-trans. Think about it.

"Well, she didn't stick with me, so fuck her," Barr said. “She is a successful artist and they do it because she is a woman and there is some common sense, but some women are actually fighting and getting this law (adoctrinator for puberty that prohibits trans minors in the UK) and they should celebrate.

After Barr was fired, ABC derivates forward and kills the star of the same name through an opioid overdose outside the camera. "Conners" debuted in October 2018 without Barr, performing well - attracted 10.5 million viewers during the premiere - but never had a ratings promise with the "Roseanne" revival (the latter debuted with 18.4 million viewers, becoming the highest-rated comedy in nearly four years).

"I didn't get proven," Barr said of the drop in ratings. "I felt angry because they stole my rights and killed me. They didn't kill JK Rowling's character. It was so stupid and myopic that I don't know how they answered shareholders for canceling my answer.

Still, Barr is ready to move on and is writing a new comedy series with "Roseanne" and "Arli $$" alum Allan Stephan. She's told before type The series will be a cross between "Roseanne Show" and "Hoperanos" and revolve around a small town farmer in Alabama who "saves the United States from drug gangs and China." On the day we spoke, she was about to do production on a secret project. She has no regrets about turning her into Hollywood Paria. The only thing she was going back was Mea Culpa at the time.

"I made the mistake of apologizing and it only got worse after that," she said. "Never apologize to the left because if you apologize, they will wipe the streets on your face in your face, all the young women tied together and knocked down a woman who broke so many boundaries for women."
