The cast of Roseanne took to social media to react to the news that ABC had canceled the reboot on May 29 after star and cocreator Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet.
In the since-deleted tweet, the 65-year-old actress called Valerie Jarrett, an ex-adviser to former president Barack Obama, the offspring of “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes.” She later apologized, tweeting that her “joke was in bad taste.” But hours later, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey announced in a statement, “Roseanne’s Twitter is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel our show.”
