Roseanne Barr Lashes Out at Jimmy Kimmel After He Offered ‘Compassion’

As much as some might like to complain about cancel culture, the topic sure seems like a boon to comedians. Just look at Roseanne Barr, who has begun promoting her Fox Nation comedy special (aptly titled “Cancel This”) with soundbites griping about her own “cancellation.” The latest object of her frustration? Jimmy Kimmel, who once called for people to treat her with more “compassion.”

In 2018, ABC fired Barr from its Roseanne revival after she posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, who served as Senior Adviser to Barack Obama during his presidency. During an appearance Tuesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Barr complained that she did not have ample opportunity back then to clarify that she hadn’t realized that Jarrett was black. (As she put it on her YouTube channel during the summer of 2018, “I thought the bitch was white!”)

Barr, who apologized to Jarrett before later saying she regretted doing so, initially blamed sleeping pills for her tweet. She’s since also blamed her co-star Sara Gilbert for her dismissal—as well as Michelle Obama.

During her Fox appearance Tuesday, Barr said that ABC “knew that I had made a mistake, and yet they did not allow me to go on any of their other shows and apologize for it.” She emphasized that she should have been allowed on programs hosted by celebrities who’ve had their own “more egregious” controversies. As one example, she cited ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who apologized in 2020 for his use of blackface in past comedy sketches.

Dated a girl last spring until fall, and we ended up parting ways after she had a severe mental health crisis. We agree to split, and she states that we will grow, and improve upon ourselves then in the future we may get back together when we have both grown.

She encourages me make a tinder app and meet other women to explore my tastes (I don't too busy). Fast forward to this summer, and I help rehabilitate dog. She sees the rescue dog I working with and asks to have it, and she continuously sends me texts about the dog. The entire 14 months we are separated she always asks to go for coffee, and dinner/drinks to catch up. I always come up with an excuse to avoid it.

We also sometimes have 2 hour long conversations once a week. In September she says I am her one true friend, and asks me to babysit the dog I gave her in November for a wedding across the country. No one else can. She drops it off on November 3rd, and we go to dinner where she tells me she was extremely crazy, and understands why I broke up with her, and tells me she is now receiving therapy for her mental/childhood issues. She is also on medication for PTSD due to sexual trauma.

She leaves, and while I watch the dog she engages in almost no contact with me won't answer phone, or respond to texts. On November 19 she apologizes, and admits that she had a crazy few weeks due to drama there.

Now we are talking from November 20th to now, and I feel like things are getting better, and I feel she has grown as a partner. She lets it slip that 14 months ago she made a tinder profile to sleep with a bunch of guys, and still talks on the phone with them? The she says that she was dating a man from June to November while talking to me. What?

Do I have a right to be upset? Or am I overreacting? I am so confused. Any advice please. I have never experienced such a situation. Please help
