After ABC canceled her Roseanne reboot last May over Roseanne Barrโ€™s racist tweet about Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, the comedian said in an interview, โ€œI said to God, โ€˜I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know Iโ€™ve done wrong. Iโ€™m going to accept what the consequences are.'โ€

My how times have changed.

In an interview with the Washington Post published Thursday, Barr blamed Roseanne co-star Sara Gilbert for tweeting that Barrโ€™s slur about Jarrett had been โ€œabhorrent.โ€

Barr told the paper, โ€œ[Gilbert] destroyed the show and my life with that tweet.โ€

โ€œShe will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.โ€

Denial of ones own fuck up and placing blame on others is never a good sign.

In response to that comment, Sara told The Post, โ€œWhile Iโ€™m extremely disappointed and heartbroken over the dissolution of the original show, she will always be family, and I will always love Roseanne.โ€

That all said, it looks like The Conners is coming back for a second season.

Now, Gilbert is on the cusp of a renewal for the show she headlines that spun out of the ashes of Roseanne.

She and the other three principal cast members; John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson; have all reportedly signed lucrative new deals to come back for a 13-episode second season of The Conners, according to Deadline.
