-

SHE’S kept a low profile since her racist tweet led to the collapse of her multi-million dollar empire.

But Roseanne Barr finally emerged from hiding on Thursday – before returning to Twitter to say she had ‘begged’ the president of the Disney-ABC Television Group not to cancel her show Roseanne and let her ‘make amends’. The comment has since been deleted.

The 65-year-old, wearing a baseball cap and casual clothing, was seen puffing on a cigarette while engaged in an intense phone conversati­on in her native Utah.

Asked to comment on the fallout of her controvers­ial tweet, Miss Barr simply said: ‘I believe in one law for all people, I love all people, have a nice day.’

The Roseanne wshow as axed on Tuesday after a tweet by Miss Barr in which she compared former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, who is black, to an ape. ‘If muslim brotherhoo­d & planet of the apes had a baby = vj,’ she wrote.

There is now speculatio­n her co- stars could do their own spin-off show. Variety reported there were ‘extremely preliminar­y discussion­s among key players’.
