Roseanne Barr Claims ABC Reportedly 'Spied' on Her Before Firing

  • Roseanne Barr was fired by ABC in 2018 after posting a controversial tweet about Valerie Jarrett that led to the cancellation of her sitcom reboot.
  • Barr claims ABC monitored her closely due to her outspoken support for President Trump and political views, seeking an excuse to remove her from the show.
  • After Barr's firing, ABC rebranded the series as The Conners, which killed off her character, and Barr retreated from public life while remaining a vocal Trump supporter.
  • In 2025, Barr told the Daily Mail that her tweet was misunderstood and meant to be a satirical comment on politics, not related to race, adding that she felt people were waiting for her to make a mistake.
  • Barr’s firing sparked debate about censorship and liberal bias in Hollywood, while a documentary titled Roseanne Barr is America will explore her perspective, premiering June 10.
