Roseanne Barr's ABC Allegations to Feature in Documentary

News summary

Roseanne Barr alleges that ABC executives spied on her, censored her conservative views, and pressured her to delete political tweets before firing her from the 2018 'Roseanne' reboot. She claims network leadership was uncomfortable with her vocal support for Donald Trump and used her controversial Valerie Jarrett tweet as a pretext for her dismissal. Barr now asserts that her tweet was a criticism of Obama's Iran policy, not a racist attack, and accuses ABC of hijacking its intent to justify canceling the high-rated series. She also alleges that writers favored John Goodman with the best lines and resisted efforts to address political divides on the show. ABC has not responded to Barr's new allegations, while former Disney CEO Bob Iger previously defended her firing. Barr's account will be featured in an upcoming documentary, reigniting debates about cancel culture and media bias.
