It’s been over a week now and the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr’s comments on social media still has not simmered down, even after her highly popular show was shut down. While she has refused to give interviews up until now she was very active on social media retweeting and tweeting different statements. However, that all changed when Roseanne agreed to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Sadly, though she backed out of the engagement at the last minute and people are worried as to why.
The Daily Mail reported:
“Roseanne Barr was scheduled to appear on comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast today, but the host said on social media the embattled sitcom star is ‘not doing well’ and will not be joining him in conversation. ABC pulled the plug on Season 2 of Barr’s popular Roseanne reboot on Tuesday after the controversial actress sent out a tweet comparing former President Barack Obama’s African-American adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
After issuing several apologies on Twitter and blaming her comment on the insomnia drug Ambien, Barr said would be appearing on Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Shortly before 1 pm Eastern Time on Friday, Rogan, 50, posted a message on his Twitter page saying that Barr’s appearance has been scrapped. ‘The Roseanne podcast is not happening today. She’s not doing well and doesn’t want to travel, and she’s gone radio silent on me, so I’m just going to step away,’ he wrote.
Rogan added: ‘the whole thing has been pretty brutal on her, and I hope she can find some peace.’ Barr was seen in public for the first time since the scandal on Thursday, walking in her native Utah, in photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail. At one point, the 65-year-old, wearing rolled-up jeans and cheetah-print flip-flops, sat on the ground and smoked a cigarette.
When asked to comment on the recent controversy, Barr simply said: ‘I believe in one law for all people, I love all people have a nice day.’ Her racist tweet said that Jarrett, who is African-American and was born in Iran, looks like the lovechild of the ‘Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes’. She subsequently apologized to the former Obama aide and later wrote, ‘I’m not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me.’
In one of her latest tweets from Thursday, Barr claimed she meant to say that Jarrett was like the character in the Planet of the Apes film ‘who controls human beings…’ ‘I am still sorry 2 have offended my black fans even if misunderstood tweet, and I was impaired. 2 am tweeting bad jokes. I do not forgive myself tho,’ she added.”
Meanwhile, at the same time elsewhere in Hollywood others are getting themselves into hot water because of their actions. One, in particular, is comedian Samantha Bee who has been criticized for calling one of the First Daughters Ivanka Trump a “feckless c***.” Bee’s comments came in response to a social media picture that Trump posted with her son and herself. The picture was posted after articles went viral over the internet over an alleged 1,500 missing migrant children in the United States.
CNN reported:
“You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c***!” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders blasted Bee’s language as “vile and vicious.” Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network,” Sanders said.
Both CNN and TBS are owned by Turner, a subsidiary of Time Warner. Bee apologized Thursday and acknowledged she had “crossed a line.” “I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night,” she said. “It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”
When did it become okay to constantly cross the line with people that you disagree with? There is no respect in comedy anymore sadly and those who cross that line should be held responsible. Apparently, having the President in office means that Hollywood entertainers can cross whatever line they please. But that is not how it works.
