Roseanne Barr

In a stunning move, ABC cancelled its Roseanne revival following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet. In a now-deleted tweet, Barr on Tuesday called former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett "an ape and compared her to an Islamic organisation." Barr, however, later tendered an apology for her remark. In the wake of the show's cancellation, many Hollywood celebrities took to Twitter to praise ABC for shelving Barr. Roseanne actor Emma Kenney, who played Roseanne's granddaughter on the comedy said, "As I called my manager to quit working on Roseanne, I was told it was cancelled. I feel so empowered by Channing Dungey and anyone at ABC standing up for morals and abuse of power. Bullies will never win."
