Roseanne Barr released a statement on the premiere of ABC’s new show, “The Conners,” describing her character’s death from an opioid overdose an “unnecessary grim and morbid dimension” on a family show.
While Barr wished the “very best” for the cast and crew of the show, she criticized ABC’s management. Earlier this year, her show “Roseanne” was taken off the air after making a controversial tweet about former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett that some described as racist and triggered a social media mass hysteria.
