Roseanne Barr and her original “Roseanne” co-star Michael Fishman are still feuding over the cancellation of the show’s 2018 reboot. Fishman made headlines in August for saying “the show was rightfully canceled” after Barr posted a tweet that appeared to link Barack Obama’s advisor Valerie Jarrett, who is Black, to “Planet of the Apes.” Barr was accused of being racist but has long maintained that was not her intention.

During a new interview on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly), Barr was asked to weigh in on Fishman’s comments supporting ABC’s decision to pull the 2018 “Roseanne” reboot. She did so by unleashing a tirade against her former co-star.
