IT’S NOT MY FAULT!
Racist Roseanne is now blaming TV daughter Sara for getting fired
RANTING Roseanne Barr is accusing former TV daughter Sara Gilbert of stabbing her in the back — weeks after blaming Michelle Obama for sabotaging her sitcom comeback!
After the disgraced comic was canned from ABC’s Roseanne reboot for her racist tweet about former Obama pal Valerie Jarrett, the rest of the cast continued without her on The Conners, which was recently renewed for a second season.
As GLOBE reported in our March 20 issue, Barr initially claimed the former first lady convinced network brass to cut her loose.
But sources say the 66-year-old is now pinning her career struggles on Sara’s response to the Jarrett slur!
“Roseanne truly believes Sara had it in for her and was responsible for getting her fired from the show,” spills an insider.
Sara, who plays Darlene Conner, immediately slammed her TV mom’s attack on Valerie as “abhorrent” and added, “I’m disappointed in her actions.” Now, Roseanne insists, “She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet. She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
“Sara responded first to Roseanne’s tweet and, lo and behold, less than 30 minutes later Roseanne was fired and the show that was Roseanne’s baby was canceled,” the source says. “Roseanne is griping to anyone who will listen that Sara stole her show and had her character killed off so she could be the big star of The Conners.
“But Roseanne isn’t just blaming Sara for getting her fired. She’s blaming her for ruining her life because no one in television wants to work with her” — forcing Barr to resort to doing stand-up gigs, says the insider.
Though 44-year-old Sara — who’s also the creator, executive producer and cohost of The Talk — claims, “I will always love Roseanne,” the source says Barr labeled her a “phony” and adds, “Roseanne’s not letting this one go!”
