Roseanne Barr has returned to Twitter following the cancellation of her self-titled show over racist tweet in an effort to defend her racially charged Valerie Jarrett tweet and weigh in on her ABC show's cancellation.
The disgraced comedienne began her social fury by retweeting alt-right figure Jack Posobiec, Thomas Wictor, and way too many supportive messages from her followers. She thanked fans by mostly replying to others' messages.
She also tweeted (and deleted) that the sleep aid Ambien was seemingly responsible for her foul behavior:
"guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — i went 2 far & do not want it defended — it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but…don't defend it please."
The 65-year-old actress talked about the drug again in a later tweet, sharing:
"Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I've done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc."
Soon after, Roseanne took a page out of Donald Trump's playbook and denied blaming the drug for her racist rant:
Get off #twitter!!!!! This is why you were fired...don't blame it on ambien....smh
Oh man this is just the best, @therealroseanne is now defending her tweets by saying Ambien made her racist? people.com/tv/roseanne-ba…
no, i didnt i blamed myself. stop lying. Yes, I have had odd ambien experiences on tweeting late at night-like many other ppl do. I BLAME MYSELF OK? it's just an explanation not an excuse, Ok, bully?
HMMMMOKAY. Then why mention in the first place, Ro??
The former sitcom star also shared two direct apologies at Jarrett as well as a few messages to her fans:
@ValerieJarrett I want to apologize to you. I am very sorry to have hurt you. I hope you can accept this sincere apology!
@ValerieJarrett i don't know if u saw it, but I wanted2 apologize to u 4 hurting and upsetting u with an insensitive & tasteless tweet. I am truly sorry-my whole life has been about fighting racism. I made a terrible mistake wh caused hundreds of ppl 2 lose their jobs. so sorry!
"Don't feel sorry for me, guys!!-I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people, and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet."
Ambien became a top trending Twitter topic following Roseanne's mention, and users of the social media site dragged her accordingly. For the best medicinal reactions, ch-ch-check out (below)!
