Just In, ABC Cancels ‘Roseanne’ After Racial Tweet About Former POTUS Aide Valerie

After just reporting about Roseanne’s tweet and Wanda Sykes quitting the show, ABC networks has pulled the plug on the hit TV show.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC said. The cancellation comes just months after the show premiered to huge ratings.

Even Sara Gilbert, who plays Darlene on the television show has a lot to say. She tweeted out:”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.”

Also with talking about the show, “This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.”
