Roseanne Barr is crying for a foul.
The comedian called out ABC for reviving Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after a short suspension, comparing it to her experiences with the network when she canceled her “Rosanne” reboot in 2018, following a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett.
Barr, 72, said the network had shown her an unfair treatment compared to Kimmel, 57.
“I ruined my whole life, without forgiveness, all my work was stolen, called racists because I called someone racist, because I racially misunderstood someone,” Barr told News Nation on Tuesday. “It just shows how they think. It’s a double standard.”
Barr, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, also criticized Kimmel.
“I think he’ll support himself and his fans. “I think they feel their hearts and you know, like they’ve won another battle between Trump and the people of America.”
The controversial comedian said her entire legacy was “erased” following the cancellation of her sitcom.
“I have been erased from history, from feminist history. “I have not mentioned anything about women who are the pioneers of the media. I have not mentioned anything anymore.”
ABC cancelled “Roseanne” due to Barr’s inflammatory tweet in May 2018.
She later apologised for the comment and also claimed she thought Jarrett was white.
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and all Americans,” Burr wrote at the time. “I’m really sorry for making bad jokes about her politics and her appearance. I should have known better. My joke tasted bad.”
Barr previously called out ABC in 2023 for finding it unfair compared to Kimmel and “View” co-host Joy Behar. With her Fox Nation stand-up special, Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!, she raised past scandals.
Put me in “Jimmy Kimmel Show” and “View” and many of the other shows you have on the ABC channel.
Kimmel apologized for using Blackface in “The Man Show” by impersonating a celebrity like NBA player Karl Malone.
Behar refuses to wear blackface as part of her old Halloween costume, saying the appearance is a “homage.”
