Roseanne Barr returned to Twitter on Tuesday night after proclaiming earlier in the day that she would be quitting the social media site due to an insensitive comment she made. However, when the tweet went viral, things began to erupt, and the controversy led to the cancellation of Barr’s extremely popular and highly rated ABC television series.
According to a May 30 report by Pop Culture, Roseanne returned to social media to share some thoughts and opinions she had about her show being cancelled by the network in the wake of her Twitter scandal. She even revealed whether or not she would want another network to pick up the series.
Shameless snooping is the Conner way. #Roseanne

Roseanne’s former co-stars have started speaking out about the show’s cancellation, and Barr’s controversial tweet. Sara Gilbert, who played Roseanne’s daughter, Darlene Conner, on the show, revealed that she was very sad and disappointed about the situation, and wanted fans to know that Barr’s tweet does not reflect the opinions of the rest of the cast.
Emma Kenney, who portrayed Harris on the series, also spoke out. Kenney revealed that after Roseanne’s offensive tweet surfaced she called her manager to quit the show. However, she was told that the series had already been cancelled.
It seems after the huge media storm Roseanne Barr’s comments created, a network would be taking a huge risk by attempting to pick up the series now.
