ABC fired her because she made a racist comment on Twitter. I doubt the fact that it was directed at Jarrett entered into their decision making process.
Now that we’ve gone through a baker’s dozen of excuses, tangents, and distractions—gotta say my favorite was calling the planet of the apes comparison a compliment because in the movie, the apes were the most advanced species; somebody threw out his back straining for that one—can anyone from the party of personal responsibility have an issue with Roseanne taking personal responsibility by getting canned for her racist tweet?
Hey, she didn’t even know the lady was black. It was an Ambein induced, sophisticated insult based on the subtle social commentary of Planet of the Apes.
The Roseanne reboot is being rebooted once again but this time without Roseanne. ABC is attempting to save the 200 jobs that were threatened by her racist outburst.
In ER, when they got rid of a particularly loathsome character, they dropped a flaming helicopter on him. In LA Law, they dropped the character down an elevator shaft. Then there’s what South Park did to Chef.
I watched the old show but I must have stopped before that plot line developed. That would be a hell of a long rehab, even if the new version only lasted a season.
