ROSEANNE Barr “begged” ABC for a second chance before the network cancelled her sitcom over a racist tweet.
In her latest Twitter frenzy the comedian claimed she told ABC that she was “willing to do anything” in order to save cast and crew’s jobs.
On Tuesday, Barr’s sitcom Roseanne was cancelled by ABC after she compared Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape on Twitter.
Barr later deleted the tweet and apologised, claiming it had been a joke and she was “Ambien tweeting”.
On Thursday, Barr tweeted that she had told Disney ABC Television Group President Ben Sherwood that she thought Jarrett “was white, she looks like my family!”
“I begged 4 my crews jobs. Will I ever recover from this pain? omg,” she added.
Barr also tweeted that she was sad Roseanne actor Jayden Rey had to see the tweet, because she was “ashamed of myself that she would ever think I do not love her bc she is African American”.
The comedian ended her latest tweeting spree by “offering everyone involved one more apology and prayers for healing of our divided nation”, before announcing that she was “signing off Twitter for a while”.
Meanwhile, it might not be all over for Barr’s co-stars and crew, with Entertainment Weekly reporting ABC may throw them a lifeline.
An insider told the publication that the network was considering reworking the show without Barr.
