"Stabbed Me In The Back": Roseanne Barr Blasts Former Co-Star For The Conners Firing

Roseanne Barr takes aim at a former co-star, blaming her for ending the Roseanne revival that led to The Conners. The short-lived Roseanne revival lasted only a few months after Barr tweeted racist conspiracy theories, referring to former political advisor Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of Planet of the Apes. It was the latest public controversy involving Barr, with ABC ultimately choosing to cancel Roseanne. The story would continue in the form of the Roseanne spinoff, focusing on the titular family as they attempted to move on from the unexpected death of their matriarch.
