Roseanne Barr Makes Heartbreaking Statment About Hollywood Blackballing: “When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I have mental health issues, that they did want me to commit suicide”
Roseanne Barr issued a heartbreaking statement about her Hollywood blackballing ahead of her triumphant return tonight to the stage tonight on Fox Nation. She said:
“There was no one in Hollywood really defending me publicly, except for Mo’nique, who is a brave, close, dear friend. I can’t know what they think or feel. I don’t know why they did what they did.
“I’m not like them. It didn’t faze them to murder my character, either. I started thinking that God took me out of there to save me. And once I started thinking that way, I was, like, a lot better off.
“When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I’m mentally ill or have mental health issues, that they did want me to commit suicide.
“They killed my character. And all of that was to say thank you for bringing 28 million viewers, which they never had before and will never see again.
“I came back after 20 years and was No. 1 again. That’s unprecedented.
“So I started thinking about all the positives of it, my work and the contribution I made to pop culture and television, its portrayal of a woman and her working-class family.
“They can’t take that away from me. They’ll probably try.
“And I’m so happy that this is the most offensive in my stand-up that I’ve ever had the balls to be.
“I just was so happy that when I looked out in the audience there, the bond between myself and them was not broken.
“I have a large African American and people of color fan base. I always felt horrible and wondered whether that would go away.
“That was always so important to me, because my whole career had started in jazz clubs and in neighborhoods where working-class people lived and where I lived.
“I was afraid that this horrible experience would poison all that.
“But there it was in all its majesty and beauty.
“I was performing to a beautiful, diverse audience.
“And that made me so happy,” she said.
“We can’t let them kill comedy.
“We can’t let these censors and book burners have the last say.
“We have to protect comedy.
“The Left has no sense of humor at all, nor do they have any sense of humor about themselves.”
Don’t come for me. I’m just saying Roseanne Barr is in her 70s. Madonna is 64. Roseanne Barr has probably had lots of work done. I don’t judge those who do but she did it tastefully. pic.twitter.com/T2znMtVTu5
