ABC Cancels ‘Roseanne’ After Star’s Racist Tweet

The rebooted sitcom was enjoying huge ratings, but the network pulled the plug following star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet.  Barr said former Obama adviser, Valerie Jarrett, looked like the offspring of “the Muslim brotherhood and Planet of the Apes.”

The comedian apologized for the tweet, but ABC president Robert Iger said canceling the popular show was the right move.

 

Will another network pick up the show?
