    Viacom have pulled all the old series off the air also.

    Her Twitter response is pretty apologetic. She’s saying what she tweeted was wrong and asking all her fans not to defend her or boycot ABC. Standard damage limitation stuff but still fairly unusual not to go the whole hog and start writing for Breibart or the Daily Mail.
    Give it a week or so.

    The really weird thing is that she made her name on being incredibly left wing. She was a working class Jewish feminist socialist. She was an activist in the occupy Wall Street movement. She ran for presidency in the Green Party! She was all about anti racism and LGBT rights, and that’s what the original series was often about.

    This reinvention as a right wing Trump supporting hate cunt has pretty much come out of nowhere.

    Her line of reasoning is that she's "the same person, it's all you all that have done changed." By which she means "THE LEFT" have become radicalised.

    My racist, homophobic, benefit scroungers should be executed, UKIP voting father reinvented himself as 'an old leftie' after watching I am Daniel Blake while still retaining all of the aforementioned views.

    It's almost as if he has no real understanding of anything.

    She blamed her sleeping tablets for that tweet, what about all the other crazy ass False Flag, Chemtrail, Alex Jones loving bullshit?

    I watched this yesterday which goes into her political views. John Goodman does a pretty good job of hiding the fact he thinks she's a cunt.

    I don't even think she meant to be racist, she's just completely myopic and used to getting away with talking shit. She seems to have tried to point out that this woman she insulted bears a slight resemblance to Cornelia from the original Apes film without being consciously aware that everyone will latch onto racial implications.

    The thick cunt doesn't really deserve this much shit, and the people whose jobs she's just burned don't deserve it either.

    poor John Goodman - he really didnt hide his feelings!!

    My favourite bit was when Kimmel noted she used to be besties with Hillary and asked what happened that she called her a murderer - and Goodman suggested it was because she went fruitloop!!!

    Soapies are just ignorant as shit and the counter argument that always gets trotted out is that Muslim isn't a race. Case in point, no one gave a fuck about that, it was the ape part.

    Can't say with any certainty that was meant in a racist way either.

    Again it could just be tone deaf and idiotic. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Totally agree, but an overreaction is an overreaction. They shouldn't axe the show, they should just axe her.

    Call it the Dan Show or something. Not that I've watched a single episode of Rosanne since the late 80s, but whatever.

    I saw her in an interview a couple years ago and she was spouting GMO conspiracy theories and alternative medicine. Seemed like a bit of a new age lefty sort.

    Not sure what happened, but she’s obviously lacking in critical thinking skills and seems to fall for this kind of stuff.

    Aye, fair enough.
    Maybe not possible contractually ?

    They managed to oust Sheen from two and half men, I can't see why it's a problem.

    She’s the series creator, producer, director, writer and star. And the show is called Roseanne.

    Not sure how they axe her and not the show.

    Have to agree here. Or find another punishment. The many are paying for the sins of the few.

    Makes me think that perhaps they had wanted to axe the show for a while and this just gave them an excuse.

    It's not as if she adds magic to the proceeding. You could hire a literal ape and the same job would get done with all the support staff doing the work for it.

    That's probably closer to the mark actually.

    Often networks try and mediate and offer support when a star shits the bed. This time nah, out.

    Yes I’m sure they were itching to cancel their massively successful hit show.

    They should start the next series with this series being all in Dans head because Rosanne died of a heart attack when DJ started dating a black guy.

    ABC’s revival of “Roseanne” was the top show of Tuesday night in the overnight ratings for the third week in a row, despite once again being down double digits from the previous week.
    Started strong but sinking like a stone?

    And, yes, it's racist grandma 101 to claim there's nothing wrong with comparing a black person to an ape because they do actually look like one. It's bullshit when they say it and it's bullshit when Rosanne tried it.

    She knew perfectly well what she was saying, she's spent her life getting on people's tits.
