Overview

• Barr alleges ABC executives “monitored everything I did” and were seeking reasons to suppress her support for President Trump.
• She maintains her 2018 tweet likening Valerie Jarrett to the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes” was intended as political critique of the Iran deal, not a racial slur.
• ABC cancelled the Roseanne reboot after branding the tweet “abhorrent,” then launched The Conners, which concluded in April with the off-screen death of her character.
• Now based on a Texas ranch and back on stage in stand-up, Barr will tell her side in the Joel Gilbert documentary Roseanne Barr Is America, debuting June 10.
• Barr says her public apology for the Jarrett tweet was a mistake and accuses Disney-owned ABC of censoring conservative voices in Hollywood.
