Discover Roseanne Barr’s criticism of the “double standard” she believes applies to Jimmy Kimmel’s comeback. Learn what she said about how everything in her life went wrong. Jim Carrey is back on TV, which makes Roseanne Barr mad. She thinks there is a "double standard" at work when ABC lifts its ban of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after only five days. In 2018, her award-winning sitcom Roseanne was cancelled after she posted a racist message on social media about Valerie Jarrett, who used to work for Barack Obama.
"It shows how they think." "I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness, all of my work stolen, and I will always be called a racist for misgendering someone because of their race," she told NewsNation on Tuesday. "It's a double standard."
Barr said in the May 2018 post that Jarrett, who is black, was like "Twilight and Planet of the Apes had a baby." After hours of deleting and apologising for the post, ABC cancelled the Roseanne reboot. Former network president Channing Dungey said, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."
Barr said that Kimmel "called me a racist even though I said over and over that it was a mistake, which they censored over and over again." I thought the woman was Iranian and white. According to Barr, the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! "called me a racist even though he himself appeared in blackface on their network many times." Actually, Kimmel has been on TV many times before wearing blackface to play basketball player Karl Malone. Those performances, on the other hand, were on his old sketch comedy show The Man Show, which was on Comedy Central.
"Your respect is the most important thing to me, and I'm sorry to those who were hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke," Kimmel said in a statement about the 2020 events.
In his September 15 monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel got into more trouble when he talked about how the MAGA gang responded to Charlie Kirk's death: "We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it." The next day, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told reporters to skip Jimmy Kimmel Live. Later that same day, Sinclair and Nexstar, owners of the stations, did just that. ABC fired Kimmel from his long-running late-night show on Wednesday, which caused a huge uproar from politicians, the entertainment industry, and other groups. They said that the government's actions were, among other things, coercion, extortion, and a violation of the First Amendment's protection of free speech.
Nexstar and Sinclair have asked the government to loosen restrictions on who can own TV stations. This would let the companies reach more U.S. homes more easily. Nextstar recently made news when it said it would buy Tegna for $6.2 billion, which is more than enough money to buy another radio station owner. The government would have to approve this deal.
But Kimmel has been a target of President Trump for a long time. Trump told the comic in July that he was "NEXT to go" after CBS ended The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Barr said that Kimmel's inaction was to blame for his present situation.
"I think he'll cheer himself on and all of his fans will do what?" 2,000 of them. They will feel better and like they won another fight against Trump and the American people. Barr said that when Kimmel came back, there would be a big party. He also said that if the host "had defended me, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
