May 29th 2018, Roseanne Barr posted a tweet, "muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby=vj." This was in reference to former President Obama administration advisor Valerie Jarrett. This was all part of a series of Twitter posts that started late Monday night. While Barr defended herself against charges of Islamophobia, writing, "ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people," along with retweets of supportive commentary from similarly pro-Trump supporters. This led to Roseanne consulting producer Wanda Sykes announced she would not return to the show. ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." It's important to note that after the first episode of the series reboot, the series was signed to a second season, but now cancelled after nine episodes.
