The former “Roseanne’ star’s TV kids didn’t expect a rosy reaction from her.
The former ABC star also posted a lengthy joint statement with her spiritual advisor Rabbi Shmuley Boteach to Facebook, blasting the network for the “grim” and “morbid” demise of her character.
“We really miss Roseanne and love her very much. Her spirit is still very much with us, so we understand that she’s hurting right now and she’s in pain. She’s always with us, so hopefully we can see her and kind of remedy this at some point in time, I hope.”

“The tone of the way she passed away was related to last season. If you listen to our producers, they really wanted to take a real crisis that’s happening to our country and find a way to give voice to that. I know that the reaction to that is going to be different for different people, but we’ve always tried to tackle big topics and be very honest about them.”
In May, Roseanne Barr was fired by ABC after she posted a racist tweet about former White House aide Valerie Jarrett. At the time, several of Barr’s heartbroken co-stars, including her TV kids Gilbert and Fishman, denounced her actions on Twitter. Barr angrily called her co-stars out for not having her back, then later said she forgave them.
