Roseanne Barr is constant to stir the pot throughout her ongoing semi-apology, semi-defiant interviews.
In the newest version, Barr spoke to the Washington Post and revealed that she was suicidal and frolicked after being fired from her namesake present “holed up in her mom’s basement in Utah, chain-smoking and in tears.”
Her rescue from that despair got here within the type of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, an writer, TV host and public speaker and longtime Barr advisor, who scored the primary public interview with Barr after her Roseanne firing. The tear-filled interview was the general public’s first view of Barr’s determined regret on the firestorm she created by a racially charged tweet.
“Shmuley saved my life,” Barr mentioned. “I was suicidal. He was the only person who stood by me and said they were (not) going to destroy me because I love Trump and Israel.”
Barr blamed her firing and subsequent public shaming on a tweet from TV daughter Sara Gilbert, who mentioned Barr’s feedback on the looks of former presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett have been “abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.”
“[Gilbert] destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Barr advised the Post. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
“I knew that Roseanne, the person, was unpredictable at times, but she told me this was her redemption,” Gilbert advised the Post. “I chose to believe her.”
The Conners, the non-Roseanne model of the TV present, has been renewed for a second season by ABC.
