Audio Roseanne Breaks Into Tears After Tweets Costs Her Career
Roseanne Barr broke down in tears after posting her racist tweet, saying she may be a loud mouth but she would never knowingly call a black person a disparaging term … despite comparing Obama’s adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
Barr’s comments came just 2 days after her infamous tweet in late May, on Rabbi Shmuley’s podcast. The Rabbi did not immediately release it.
Barr says she knew what the fallout would be … that she would lose everything. She admits she was wrong but insists she would never “wittingly” say such thinks about African Americans.
TMZ broke the story, almost immediately after Barr was fired by ABC and the show was cancelled, there were discussions about bringing the show back without her. That’s what happened last week, when ABC announced the re-re-boot, “The Connors.”
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast at Stand Up NY and breaking down in tears. She tells the host, “I’m a lot of things. I’m a loudmouth and all that stuff, but I’m not stupid, for God’s sake, and I never would have wittingly called any black person … say they are a monkey. I never would do that! And I didn’t do that. And if people think that I did that it just kills me. I didn’t do that, although they think I did. And if they do think that I am so sorry that I- ya know, it was so unclear and stupid. I’m very sorry but I don’t think that, I never would do that.”
When Boteach asks her if she still regrets and doesn’t excuse her tweet, she replied, “Of course, no I don’t excuse it. I horribly regret it, are you kidding? I’ve lost everything. And I regretted it before I lost everything and I said to God, ‘I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I’ve done wrong.’ I’m willing to accept what the consequences are. And, I do. And I have.” The full podcast episode can be heard below:
