How Roseanne will be killed off in spin-off

Though Roseanne Barr doesn’t have a television home to call her own, she never seems to stray very far from TV.

Barr appeared on Dr. Oz on Tuesday to discuss the fallout of her racist tweet about former President Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, the subsequent cancellation of the Roseanne reboot and what’s next for the actress.

In a clip from the interview released by the talk show Tuesday morning, Barr remarks on where she plans to be when the Roseanne spin-off series, The Conners, which she has no part in, debuts next month. “Oh, yeah, I don’t want to be around, because I’ll get drawn into a negative thing of defending myself or being angry for being mischaractersed,” Barr says. “I want to stay away from it. I want to stay in a joyous, positive, happy place that I’ve worked my way to again in my life.”

On Monday night, Barr appeared with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills for an event titled Is America a Forgiving Nation?.

Barr speculated about the demise of her iconic character Roseanne Conner, however. The actress suggested that Conner will be killed off by an opioid overdose, and said while she wasn’t 100 per cent sure, that was what her “spies” had told her.
