The star endured the repercussions of losing her job and facing vilification from many former fans and co-stars, which took a toll on her well-being. Expressing a profound sense of isolation, she acknowledged feeling besieged from all angles. It appeared to her as though she was under attack from individuals driven by envy, seemingly eager to witness her downfall.
The sitcom star also said it felt like a personal attack on her after her character was killed off. For her, it was a message signaling they no longer desired her presence, a direct dismissal of the years of work she had dedicated to the endeavor.
She conveyed that she faced a unique situation, losing everything and having her life’s work taken by those she trusted. Despite this, there was a notable absence of public support from Hollywood, except for Mo’Nique, a close and courageous friend.
The star we’re referring to is none other than Roseanne Cherrie Barr,famed for being an actress, comedian, writer, TV producer, and director. Mo’Nique described Barr as her “sister in comedy” and referred to the infamous tweet as a mistake, stating she wouldn’t “put [Barr] on the racist list.”
She played a significant role in spearheading the show’s reboot and engaged in correspondence with Barr to confirm her willingness to be a part of it.
The award-winning stand-up comedian and actress further expressed, “My sister ma
de a mistake and she said something I know she wishes she could take back. But what I would ask is we don’t throw her away.”
In addition to Mo’Nique, Barr garnered support from her “Roseanne” co-star John Goodman. He expressed missing her and affirmed his conviction that she was not a racist. Goodman also acknowledged that he was aware Barr was going through a difficult time.
When questioned about supporting Barr in June 2023, Goodman expressed no regrets. When asked if he would work with her again, he replied, “I don’t know. If she’d like to… I just don’t know. I miss her. I wish her well.”
Despite having survived being canceled, Barr mentioned it was a terrible time. She described it as a “witch-burning” and as “terrifying” times in her life, noting, “I would die many times.” While she is pleased to make a return, it’s understandable that she won’t forget the ordeal anytime soon.
In response to Barr’s controversial comments, numerous prominent Hollywood figures expressed their disdain for her words on social media. Facing a barrage of criticism, individuals ranging from Shonda Rhimes to Congressman John Lewis condemned her, accusing her of insensitivity and calling for an apology regarding her remarks.
This girl, who played the comedy star’s on-screen daughter in “Roseanne,” also commented on the explosive Tweet. She played a significant role in spearheading the show’s reboot and engaged in correspondence with Barr to confirm her willingness to be a part of it.

Describing the tweet as “abhorrent,” Gilbert clarified that the TV show did not reflect the sentiments implied in the tweet. Barr responded to Gilbert’s statement, saying, “She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet. She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
