Additionally, there was more positive news for the star following the release of a new documentary detailing her extensive and intricate career. The comeback to the entertainment industry followed an insensitive comment she made in 2018 about Valerie Jarrett, a person of color and a presidential adviser.

After facing cancellation in 2018, the comedy actress openly shared that she had “lost everything.” This challenging time coincided with the beginning of the reboot of her previously successful TV show. Regrettably, after a controversial comment, television executives decided to cancel the reboot just as it began airing.

The sitcom star expressed feeling personally attacked when her character was killed off. Despite these setbacks, the comedy actress exhibited resilience, refusing to succumb to the challenges she faced.

Reflecting on the years post-2018, she revealed the discouragement of feeling silenced in every aspect of her life. Despite her efforts to seek redemption, she approached studio executives for an opportunity to apologize and provide an explanation for her actions, only to face refusal. She mentioned, “And they denied me the right to apologize.”

Fortunately, the actress got back up again and was open about her experiences between 2018 and now. She decided to step away from Twitter and redirected her focus to building a stronger presence on Instagram. Fans showered their support and affection, referring to the star as “fabulous,” “amazing,” and “absolutely gorgeous.”
The outpouring of positive comments flooded the star’s comment section, demonstrating a wave of encouragement and admiration after the 71-year-old revealed her makeup and loose long hair look. In line with her new-found confidence, she sent A$AP Rocky a message that read, “Call me when you get tired of Rihanna.”

This girl, who played the comedy star’s on-screen daughter in “Roseanne,” also commented on the explosive Tweet.

The sitcom actress posed with her new hairdo and nails, smiling broadly in an Instagram post. Bouncing back after the controversy, she appeared visibly delighted to be back, drawing compliments from Instagram users for the interview associated with the photographed moment.

The star endured the repercussions of losing her job and facing vilification from many former fans and co-stars, which took a toll on her well-being. Expressing a profound sense of isolation, she acknowledged feeling besieged from all angles. It appeared to her as though she was under attack from individuals driven by envy, seemingly eager to witness her downfall.

The sitcom star also said it felt like a personal attack on her after her character was killed off. For her, it was a message signaling they no longer desired her presence, a direct dismissal of the years of work she had dedicated to the endeavor.

She conveyed that she faced a unique situation, losing everything and having her life’s work taken by those she trusted. Despite this, there was a notable absence of public support from Hollywood, except for Mo’Nique, a close and courageous friend.

The star we’re referring to is none other than Roseanne Cherrie Barr, famed for being an actress, comedian, writer, TV producer, and director. Mo’Nique described Barr as her “sister in comedy” and referred to the infamous tweet as a mistake, stating she wouldn’t “put [Barr] on the racist list.”

She played a significant role in spearheading the show’s reboot and engaged in correspondence with Barr to confirm her willingness to be a part of it.

The award-winning stand-up comedian and actress further expressed, “My sister made a mistake and she said something I know she wishes she could take back. But what I would ask is we don’t throw her away.”

In addition to Mo’Nique, Barr garnered support from her “Roseanne” co-star John Goodman. He expressed missing her and affirmed his conviction that she was not a racist. Goodman also acknowledged that he was aware Barr was going through a difficult time.

When questioned about supporting Barr in June 2023, Goodman expressed no regrets. When asked if he would work with her again, he replied, “I don’t know. If she’d like to… I just don’t know. I miss her. I wish her well.”

Despite having survived being canceled, Barr mentioned it was a terrible time. She described it as a “witch-burning” and as “terrifying” times in her life, noting, “I would die many times.” While she is pleased to make a return, it’s understandable that she won’t forget the ordeal anytime soon.

In response to Barr’s controversial comments, numerous prominent Hollywood figures expressed their disdain for her words on social media. Facing a barrage of criticism, individuals ranging from Shonda Rhimes to Congressman John Lewis condemned her, accusing her of insensitivity and calling for an apology regarding her remarks.

This girl, who played the comedy star’s on-screen daughter in “Roseanne,” also commented on the explosive Tweet. She played a significant role in spearheading the show’s reboot and engaged in correspondence with Barr to confirm her willingness to be a part of it.

She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
