But not unexpected in today's politically charged entertainment environment.
True but it’s amazing that entertainers have said much worse about Trump with no backlash at all.
Like I said, it would be so easy to point out hypocrisies. But why bother. Q already showing what kind of waste of time that would be. We're talking about a network that literally just hired Keith Olbermann. But, she said something dumb that was so easy to say it was racist. Kind of made her own bed there.
Just like the NFL. You’re free to say/do what you want as that’s your right. What you don’t get to do is dictate how an employer views said actions/words especially if they cost the employer money.
Meh at much worse. Calling a Black person an Ape isn’t going to fly in this current culture
Yup. Olbermann is an absolute douchebag. He said terrible shit constantly about the president. Yet, here he is, still with a job. At the worst it just seems like it’s totally inconsistent with punishment for this type of stuff. Some get the ax, some don’t on both sides.
So could they just not fine her a paycheck? Why punish the whole cast that changed their lives to come back & reboot the show.
Roseanne has been dropped from every network that plays reruns and has been condemned by Fox. Instead of acknowledging that EVERYONE has been proactive in condemning her comments, you make the standard Q assumptions that Fox will pick her up. It shows that nothing can be done to satisfy your desires.
It’s unfortunate and maybe a bit of an overreaction. But just like the NFL with Kaep, ABC feels it needs to do this with its brand. I’d be willing to bet the majority of people who watch abc programming would be upset by her comments and keeping her around.
They should have just killed her off. The show probably wouldn't have made it long, but it was only under contract for 9 more episodes anyways.
Yeah, I saw where she said not to defend her. But looks like she's backpedaling. She should definitely take a break.
Doesn't matter if she leans left or right, she's an idiot.Cancelling was fine. Not only was her tweet pretty bad, but they were going to get absolutely hammered over it. Good business decision in the end, and good personal decision as well.
BTW, Barr is NUTS. Like, she's always been known for having mental issues, but she has gone straight up crazy. Not only is she buying into the MOST ridiculous stuff that no sane person buys into (Pizzagate? Seriously? George Soros was a Nazi? Come on now...) but also the complete torpedoing of her own career...? Substance abuse issue?
As I mentioned earlier, heard her on Stern, and while nutty, she wasn't that bad.
Too bad that a "conservative" show had to take the hit... always good to have some diversity.
Remember when she grabbed her crotch during the anthem and conservatives went nuts? Funny that, now that she is some crazy version of a far right nutjob, she is a hero for some of them
They did, for 9 more episodes. It would have been easy to just kill her off.
