Ten cancels ‘Roseanne’ following racist tweet
Network Ten has confirmed it will cancelled revived sitcom ‘Roseanne’, following a series of racist remarks by star Roseanne Barr in the US.
The decision mirrors the ABC in the US, which cancelled the series after Barr published a racist tweet about former senior advisor to the President of the United States, Valerie Jarrett.
Barr’s tweet, posted by earlier this week, said: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj”.
Where’s the link to the ten article you screenshotted?
It was almost inevitable Roseanne would shoot herself in the foot eventually. Some people never learn.

Remember when NeNe Leakes from The Real Housewives of Atlanta wished rape upon an audience member at her San Francisco comedy show? Nobody fired her from her show, let alone pulled it from the air. There are countless examples of this, where many have escaped Roseanne’s fate. Please. Men get away with this shit all the time. Fact.
Exactly! The creator, namesake and star of the biggest sitcom in the biggest market in the world should be held to the same, not-the-same-thing-really, standards as a literal nobody z-list reality tv star.
@ffx. I think you’re missing the point. But I enjoyed your parochial viewpoint. A literal nobody? Pot. Kettle. Beige.
Sorry, why are you twisting this in to a gender conversation?
Ah, bless. Spoken like a true man.
If there are true men then it follows there must be false men. Can you explain the difference?
Did anyone actually ever find Roseanne funny?
Or mildly enjoy her show back then?
I recall groaning at the TV as a youngster everytime it came on.
Why did the world even need this boring piece of crap to be revived?
Spot on! I’d upvote this if I could.
As comedic self-immolation goes, Rosanne has clearly set a new low barr.
