Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.

hey guys, don't defend me, it's sweet of you 2 try, but...losing my show is 0 compared 2 being labelled a racist over one tweet-that I regret even more.

— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 30, 2018

viacom pulled all the old Roseanne shows too.

I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.

— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018

I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter.

— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018

I'm glad Roseanne is canceled.

The backlash to its cancellation is going to be a deafening nightmare.

Nothing good has come of this entire thing.

Thank you, @ABCNetwork. You did the right thing. There is not any room in our society for racism or bigotry.

you can take @RoseanneOnABC out of racism but you can’t take the racism out of @therealroseanne ... https://t.co/sJs7Hn5zrn

Roseanne Barr’s vicious personal attack on former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett came out of nowhere and cost Ms. Barr and the entire staff of her program their jobs. @ABC/@Disney could not continue with the show without insulting millions of Americans.

#Rosanne is who she tells you she is with every comment and tweet.
