After Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet comparing former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape, ABC canceled the Roseanne reboot. “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values,” Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment said in a statement, “and we have decided to cancel her show.” Actors and talent associated with the network and beyond commented on the cancellation, with many thanking Dungey for her swift action. “But honestly [Roseanne] got what she deserved,” tweeted Shonda Rhimes, who recently departed ABC for Netflix. “As I tell my 4 year old, one makes a choice with one’s actions. Roseanne made a choice. A racist one. ABC made a choice. A human one.”
The terrible part is all of the talented innocent people who worked on that show now suffer because of this.
