ABC Cancels ‘Roseanne’ After Racist Rant

ABC canceled its hit sitcom “Roseanne” on Tuesday after the show’s biggest star, Roseanne Barr, went on a racist Twitter rant, CNN reports.

Barr had posted a comment about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett that said if “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

According to Variety, series co-star Sara Gilbert condemned Barr’s comments: “Roseanne’s recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least. This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us.”
