Roseanne Barr accuses Sara Gilbert of destroying her life

Roseanne Barr has blamed her Roseanne co-star Sara Gilbert for destroying the show and her life.
The controversial comedienne caused uproar in May (18) when she wrote a tweet about political adviser Valerie Jarrett that many considered to be racist, and the revival of her U.S. sitcom was swiftly dropped the same day.
However, 27 minutes before ABC executives announced the show was cancelled, her co-star Sara sent a tweet in which she called Roseanne’s comments “abhorrent” and stated that they don’t reflect the views of anyone associated with the show, and Roseanne is unable to forgive her for that Twitter post, which she has blamed for the destruction of her series.
“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Roseanne said to The Washington Post. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti (wine).”
Sara, who played Roseanne’s onscreen daughter, told the Post that “while I’m extremely disappointed and heartbroken over the dissolution of the original show, she will always be family, and I will always love Roseanne.”
Elsewhere in the interview, she also explained how she was the driving force behind reviving the sitcom after more than 20 years. She said, “I knew that Roseanne, the person, was unpredictable at times, but she told me this was her redemption… I chose to believe her.”
After the revival was cancelled, a spin-off called The Conners was made, starring Sara, John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf, and the character of Roseanne was revealed to have died from an opioid overdose in the first episode.
Barr previously took responsibility for her actions in a podcast interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach last year, saying, ”I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong. I’m going to accept what the consequences are,’ and I do, and I have.”
