Popsugar Entertainment Roseanne Barr Reactions to the Roseanne Reboot Cancellation The Roseanne Reboot's Cast and Crew React to the Show's Abrupt Cancellation 30 May 2018 by Ryan Roschke Image Source: Getty / Vera Anderson On Tuesday, ABC abruptly announced that the Roseanne reboot was cancelled, despite the fact that it shattered records and topped ratings as one of the network's most-watched shows of the year. The shocking news comes after quite the appalling turn of events on Twitter; the show's titular star, Roseanne Barr, published a horrific and racist tweet directed at Barack Obama's former White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Almost immediately after the tweet went up, Wanda Sykes (who served as a consulting producer on the show) sent out her own tweet stating that she would not return for the next season. ABC announced the cancellation shortly thereafter, complete with a searing statement from ABC Entertainment's president, Channing Dungey. In the time since, more members of the cast and crew have weighed in with their own thoughts. Here's what they had to say. 1 Wanda Sykes I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC.— Wanda Sykes (@iamwandasykes) May 29, 2018 1 / 7 2 Sara Gilbert Roseanne’s recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least.— sara gilbert (@THEsaragilbert) May 29, 2018 2 / 7 This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.— sara gilbert (@THEsaragilbert) May 29, 2018 3 / 7 3 Michael Fishman pic.twitter.com/rLKGEHvl4f— Michael Fishman (@ReelMFishman) May 29, 2018 4 / 7 4 Emma Kenney I am hurt, embarrassed, and disappointed. The racist and distasteful comments from Roseanne are inexcusable.— Emma Kenney (@EmmaRoseKenney) May 29, 2018 5 / 7 As I called my manager to quit working on Roseanne, I was told it was cancelled. I feel so empowered by @iamwandasykes , Channing Dungey and anyone at ABC standing up for morals and abuse of power. Bullies will NEVER win.— Emma Kenney (@EmmaRoseKenney) May 29, 2018 6 / 7 5 ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey ABC cancels Roseanne.ABC President Channing Dungey: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."— Kevin Fallon (@kpfallon) May 29, 2018 7 / 7 Roseanne BarrRoseanne TV ShowCelebrity TwitterTV
