Roseanne Barr Blames Ambien For Racist Tweet | Hollywoodlife
Transcript
00:00Roseanne Barr is blaming drugs for her racist Twitter rant, but do we believe her?
00:07Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life, and Roseanne Barr's eponymous TV show, Roseanne,
00:14has been canceled after she called former senior advisor in the Obama White House, Valerie Jarrett,
00:20a cross between Planet of the Apes and the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:24The massive outcry on social media caused ABC to cancel the Roseanne reboot,
00:28which was the highest-rated series on TV.
00:31Roseanne apologized for her comments, which she called a stupid joke,
00:35but has now taken to Twitter with a new explanation.
00:38It was 2 in the morning, and I was Ambien tweeting.
00:41She went on to say, I made a mistake, I wish I had it.
00:44Well, of course, Ambien then became the number one Twitter trend, with people tweeting responses like,
00:50If your racism lasts longer than four hours, please see a doctor.
00:53Well, jokes aside, what do we think of this excuse?
00:56Well, the makers of Ambien list abnormal thinking and behavior changes as a side effect,
01:02and many people have reported wild stories of blacking out and doing all kinds of crazy shit.
01:07The problem, though, is Roseanne has a long history of crazy comments.
01:12Before she was trying to help Trump, quote, make America great again,
01:16she was threatening a run for president on a platform of decapitating white-collar criminals.
01:21I do say that I am for the return of the guillotine, and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.
01:28In 2012, Roseanne was also sued for doxing the parents of George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin's killer,
01:34which caused them to go into hiding for years.
01:37In 2013, Roseanne called Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, quote,
01:42a man with big swinging eight balls.
01:44She is also Jewish, but has regularly called Israel a Nazi state, but has taken those comments back.
01:51And then, of course, there's her infamous F.U. to America,
01:55her intentionally terrible rendition of the national anthem in San Diego.
02:08Beautiful. Just beautiful.
02:10But I'm getting older, man. I'm getting real old. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
