And here comes the disgruntled ex-husband to attack Roseanne, President Trump, and all of us “racist” Deplorables.
While on two separate interviews, one with Anderson Cooper last week and now with Good Morning Britain Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband Tom Arnold had no issue whatsoever in floating a totally different take on the whole racist tweet mess. He added that he “just knew” after looking at Barr’s Twitter feed that night that this would happen by just “how far gone she was” prior to the offensive tweet about Barack Obama’s former White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett. He then said that he knew this would not end well because of Roseanne’s supposed mental illness and racist views.
But Arnold also said that he was surprised that ABC didn’t take steps to stop this from happening. While he recalled how he felt prior to the network canceling the sitcom. “In fact, I tweeted a lot because I figured someone would take her phone away or monitor that because it’s dangerous when you have that much money on a show.” Arnold went on to add that Roseanne is not the Rosanne he married in 1990. In 1990 she was a “feminist,” and now according to him, she’s a racist Trump supporting conspiracy theorist.
Previously Arnold said in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter that he felt Barr wanted her series to be canceled. “I am going to tell you the truth, she wanted it to happen, if you saw how her tweets escalated this weekend,” he claimed. “If it hadn’t happened yesterday, this season would have been so awful for everyone, every day because she would have felt like she was [being] taken advantage [of], just like when I left the show.”
Let’s be honest here, Tom Arnold, who himself is a left-wing actor, is trying to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame thanks to what he says is his ex-wife’s mental illness. Which is really sick considering mental illness shouldn’t be a vessel used to desperately try to get your name out there in hopes some producer will stick you on their show or movie for 15 seconds as you hope and pray your part doesn’t end on the cutting room floor.
Just go back under that rock where Roseanne found you back in the 80’s, cause that’s all you will ever be known for, Roseanne’s disgruntled ex-husband.

“Tom Arnold Says Ex-Wife Roseanne Barr Is ‘Obviously’ Racist and Needs to Get Off Social Media
Appearing on Good Morning Britain Monday, Arnold, 59, said Barr, 65, is “obviously” a racist.
Asked if he bases that opinion off of the actress’ tweet that prompted ABC to cancel the Roseanne revival or his general knowledge of her character, he said: “I base it off the last six months of her tweeting and social media, since I heard that there’s going to be a reboot.”
“It turns out she’s a huge Donald Trump supporter,” he continued. “We’ve known Donald Trump for 30 years, so that surprised me. You know, I see her social media, she’s one of those conspiracy people. There’s a lot of them in America. Our president, he’s a racist. I mean, he feeds into this conspiracy stuff — there’s so much anxiety in our country. So I read her social media and I’m like, ‘Oh my God. She thinks that Donald Trump is about ready to arrest Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama, send him to Guantanamo.’ ”

Arnold argued that the actress should quit social media entirely and said he wasn’t surprised by Barr’s offensive tweet, in which she likened former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett to an “ape.” (Barr later claimed that she didn’t know Jarrett is black and said she was on Ambien while tweeting.)
“I have to say, I saw it coming. I warned everybody,” he said. “I’m talking to my stepdaughter the whole time because she’s been cut off. I said, ‘You’ve got to get her phone away from her.’ … It was madness.”
“You can’t call black people monkeys,” he went on. “That’s what she was doing. … She was doing that over and over again. A lot of those Trump people do that. It’s not acceptable. [Network executives] should have gotten involved earlier. They should have been a little more aware. … You could have seen this coming, perhaps, and done something.”
Arnold also touched on whether he thinks mental health issues played a part in the controversy.
