Roseanne just said she was Ambien tweeting at 2 AM

Just now on Twitter:

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. ty

by Anonymousreply 310June 2, 2018 2:55 AM

"don't defend it please."

Said the woman pleading an Ambien defense.

by Anonymousreply 1May 30, 2018 4:20 AM

Oh no. She is not bowing out of the public eye for a while, hard at work at a sincere apology she plans to release, she is desperate. I guess that's understandable when you are the firing squad in the court of public opinion.

She may off herself over this. Public humiliation - no matter how deserving - can have a very, very bad effect on one's psyche and she is not stable and never has been.

But no, Ambien is not an excuse. Weren't "psychiatric medications" her excuse for the terror campaign she launched against her father?

by Anonymousreply 2May 30, 2018 4:28 AM

Hilarious. You wouldn't think that someone who talks so much deplorable shit would be so desperate to get her job back. If she cared that much, she should have kept her mouth shut in the first place.

She was hardly apologetic a few hours ago. In fact, she was defiant. The "big podcast" is Joe Rogan, meaning no one will listen.

I agree, the people close to her should get her into treatment because I believe there's a very real possibility she'll kill herself. Sadly, I think some around her hope that will happen.

R128 I don't know, I use to think that substances couldn't make people say or act in a way that they normally wouldn't when sober or lucid. But, then I was around some people that made me question that. I got drunk one time, with a white guy who is outwardly very racially progressive, he is a member of his local NAACP, he dates African-Americans, he's marched in BLM protests, but when we got drunk together, he used the n-word a lot, and I'm not talking about singing along with rap lyrics. This other guy, I knew, was this mellow laidback rasta haired black guy, who was always talking about how he loved everybody and we all need to get along, but then some doctor put him on some prescription for a work injury, and he would just rant about how Jews and Gays were out to kill him and all black men. Maybe the first guy really was an undercover racist, and maybe the other one was always secretly an anti-Semetic homophobe but I have to also consider the possibility that it was the alcohol or drugs. And, from my psychology classes in college, I know that prescribing drugs like Ambien to someone with a history of mental illness is not recommended.

That said, it's not that hard to commit a person to a psych ward, not if you have enough power and the necessary willingness to abuse that power. I'm speaking from personal experience. And that same personal experience is what people like and including Roseanne Barr and her co-workers both in front of the camera and behind the scenes have been all too happy to avail themselves of for too many years.

Mental illness and substance abuse can cause paranoia and confusion. That means people who are, say, heavily religious can start saying and doing strange things based on their religion (I'm recalling a mentally ill lady I knew who started claiming the Pope had taken over the Protestant church just to excommunicate her). Roseanne has always been interested in politics, and so her confusion, lack of education and mental illness could very well manifest as politically minded bigotry. It wouldn't surprise me.

However, she's been like this for so long, flipping back and forth between far left and far right politics, spouting lies, making a fool of herself routinely that you can't have any sympathy for her. Either she's too sick to realize she's being racist, in which case she shouldn't be heading a multi-million dollar project with hundreds of employees, or she knows she's racist and she refuses to get help or work on it.

Enough is enough at this point.

Of course you should. Alcohol lowers his inhibitions and the truth comes out; it's not the other way around. What you're seeing when he's drunk or high are the true feelings that he keeps hidden when he's sober.

Similarly, Trump's election is the drug that's lowering the inhibitions of all of these Deplorables who now feel emboldened to give voice to what's always been going on in their minds. Sometimes it backfires.

He got Swift boated.

So to smear Soros, Pooty uses the fact that Soros is a Jew who survived the Holocaust against him, claiming that Soros pointed Jews out to nazis, that he took possessions away from Jews on their way to concentration camps, that Soros was a Nazi SS officer who rounded up Jews (complete with a fake photo of a random Nazi).

Regarding video at R250. Perhaps if Barr had zero history as far as saying hateful things, if she didn't flip that Parkland School survivors a Nazi salute, if her current show did not lines and plot lines that offended people - if she had a clean record up until now maybe, MAYBE, the "Ambien defense" could be used as an excuse. But combine her "ape" comment with her track record and you still have a show that had to be canceled and a person who needs to be removed from the air waves.

Also, call this "Trump's America" if you want but people are still getting nailed left and right, and losing their jobs, for saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing. It may be "Trump's America" for now but it is obvious that the rules still apply.

I remember sending weird, rambling emails while taking Ambien that I had no recollection of sending in the morning. Not that I buy her story, though. My emails still contained things I would otherwise say, and I would not say things that aren't my nature to say. I think she's just gone crazy-off-her-rocker, and she was emboldened in her rants because she has the support of Trumpelthinskin and his Trumpettes. She forgot there was a whole other demographic watching her show - not for her - but for the nostalgia that included the entire cast. She also forgot she was on network TV. But she's got poor impulse control, which isn't good when you're also batshit. She blew it for both sides because she couldn't contain it.

by Anonymousreply 263May 31, 2018 4:13 AM

A friend posted this on FB today:

Okay, so I’ve been waiting to tell this story for 24 years. In September of ‘94, I started working on a TV special as a writer’s assistant for my dear buddy Kenny Solms and a team of hilarious veterans from the Golden Age of tv variety shows.

The title? “The Roseanne Hanukkah Special.”

For three weeks I drove through the gates at CBS Television City on Fairfax and Beverly, where we were to tape in the same studio where Kenny was a writer on the first six seasons of “The Carol Burnett Show.”

We were in preproduction, lining up guest stars and choosing material. Bea Arthur was to read a poem called “Bruce, Bruce the Hanukkah Goose,” Roseanne and Joan Rivers were going to do a sketch as Ruth and Esther making latkes, Neil Diamond wrote a song called “One Star”, and Sandra Bernhard was going to sing a rock version of “The Dreydl Song” to a group of probably terrified children (No! Yes!).

So on the Friday morning of our third week at CBS, I was sitting in Kenny’s office revising the show rundown (tape day was ten days away), when a call came through from the Boss Lady. Whom I had still NEVER MET.

I heard her rattle on in a paranoid, nonsensical abusive manner where her ownership of a Macadamia NUT farm in Hawaii makes perfect sense. She decided on a whim that she didn’t want to do all the work involved in doing the show (which basically involved an opening monologue, one sketch and bumpers introducing the guest stars) and pulled the plug on the whole special. Period, full stop.

Kenny staggered out and told the staff to pack up their things and go home.

As the writers had not signed their WGA agreements yet, and they were doing prepro in good faith, they never got paid. Only the receptionist and me, who were paid directly by Kenny, ever saw a dime.

So yes, Roseanne fired me. And, yes, Roseanne, you’re a disgusting racist. And yes, I take a tiny bit of solace that horrible people (and if she plays the mental illness card, I say proceed at your own risk... she tried to mend fences with Kenny that way a few months later. Sorry/not sorry is the dodge of the unrepentant) are finally being held accountable for their words.

All I can say is a very wealthy person spewed their bigotry (which has been emboldened by the election of never my president) and ended up leaving innocent people unemployed. Again. In ‘94, it was only six people. This time it’s in the hundreds, and I salute their hard work and their lost potential for steady income.

Dig deep, Lady. You’ve got a lot of your crew’s kid’s tuition to pay for now.

(That being said, Kenny always made sure we had the BEST rugelach from Greenblatt’s every day)

I'm going to assume this is a serious question R268.

If he would rather die than quit drinking he sounds hopeless. If you can't talk to him maybe write a letter detailing what he is like when drinks, tell him he needs to get to the bottom of his anger and his issues before he gets drunk and mouths off to the wrong person or people and that he is headed for trouble. I think that is about all you can do.

Don't blame you for being worried about him but if drinking is his first priority there's not a lot can do. Do the best you can and leave the rest to him. Good luck.

Thank you R270. He keeps telling me, his demons come out, or it's his alter ego...etc all excuses. I have known him for over 15 years and he's going thru a tough time right now so I guess he's hitting the bottle. I try to be a friend to him and I've told his family about his drinking problem but they don't really care, they just say "oh.his grandfather was a heavy drinker etc".

but i guess, since he doesn't even think he has a problem, i can't help him. He says it's his life and that's what he wants to do. He is a functioning alkie. has a job.

thanks for all your help and listening.

I feel bad for Roseanne in a way because she's getting trolled online and doesn't seem to realize it. It's like watching one of your parents falling for every internet scam because they are barely computer literate. I think some people are just more susceptible to the evils of social media. She's accepted responsibility and admitted she was wrong. Apparently she interviewed Trump in the 90s and encouraged him to run for president. Perhaps that's why she is rooting for his success. Socially, she's been very liberal for the majority of her career and has been an outspoken advocate.

Many years ago, I had a terrible reaction to Wellbutrin, on the 5 th day of taking it, and ended up in the Er acting extremely paranoid, borderline psychosis, just acting crazy

These meds - a lot of them can make you crazy, and they can to an extent change your personality. They just aren’t good. I’ll never take another med like that again. And I’d never go near ambien

by Anonymousreply 278June 1, 2018 4:46 AM

R252 What lines or storylines on her show was problematic? I watched the entire new show, because I loved the original show. The line about missing the black and Asian shows and saying "their just like us." Was that problematic for you? Because, that is a line that can work on so many levels that it shouldn't have been problematic, because it can literally be taken dozens of different ways, both good and bad. Was it the Muslim episode? Where her character literally exposed the stupidity of jumping to conclusions about Muslim neighbors, and she ends up standing up for the Muslim woman in the end to the ignorant bigoted grocery store cashier? BTW, the woke Carmichael show on NBC, the other year, had the parents react the same when Muslims moved in next to them, the father also liked Trump. I'm sure you were fine with her son being in an inter-racial relationship, and her grandson being somewhere in the Queer area.

Admit it the only thing problematic, on the new show, was that she was a Trump voter, which actually made the show more real, you can't bury your head in the sand and act like working class white people did not vote for Trump, in fact the only thing that was really unrealistic on the show was that she was depicted as the only Trump voter in the family.

I wouldn't say that she doesn't have problems, and problematic views and tweets in real life because she absolutely does have a history, but there was really nothing wrong with Roseanne Conner or the show.

I think she was a liberal in the 80s then she started suffering from a mental illness and this it the end result. She's still liberal if you go by the content of her show, which seemed strange considering her seeming personal stances. That's why it seems like mental illness to me. She's a mess. It's a shame because I enjoyed both runs of her show.

I'm trying to reconcile the progressive attitudes toward sexuality and feminism on her original show and the black granddaughter, the advocacy for the poor, the queer-ish grandson, the Muslim episode, the constant denigration of herself as a Trump supporter by the rest of the family, etc. on her new show with someone who is as much of a supposed deplorable as she is. The only thing that seems to explain that dichotomy is mental illness or planned provocation.

It just doesn't make sense.

I hate to say it on here because most of you will block me, but it is because R282 you have let your hatred of Trump cloud you to reality. The fact is that most people who support Trump are NOT racist, homophobic bigots, some are but not all of them. I've met many people who voted for him, because I live in a very Republican state, many of whom actually loved the fact that unlike previous Republicans he went into and campaigned in black areas for black votes, I've had several say how happy they were that he accepted Gay marriage and had an openly gay man speak right before him at the convention, because they were tired of the religious right pushing that fight and now they thought their party could move on, and yes the vast majority of them voted for him because of jobs, trade, and immigration. I've had some say they didn't know if he could bring back jobs but that at least he would try, which is more than they have gotten from a candidate of either party in a long time. While, the GOP and the Dems both have been pushing "free" trade many in the working class are anti free trade, in fact the older ones say they voted Perot because of the issue in the 1990's, and for the first time they had a major party candidate who was against free trade, which is a fact I understand every time I drive through a former mill village. And, yes they are against illegal immigration, because the working class understands the economic problems of illegal immigration better than anyone, because they are the ones who are affected the most. Many of them, became roofers, landscapers, general contractors, etc... after the mills closed, but now they cannot compete with the unlicensed illegals you can pickup outside Home Depot and pay under the table. Many of them will tell you they don't mind legal immigrants, like the Indian fellow that runs the gas station, because they compete on equal footing with him. Most are just normal people trying to live their lives day to day just like everyone else, they aren't filled with hatred for others. Except, for maybe Hillary Clinton, who they hated because she was emblematic of what they viewed as the corrupt political establishment that put them in that situation. If Bernie Sanders had been the Dem nominee, they would have been more conflicted, because his positions and outsider status would have appealed to them as well. That is the people reflected by Roseanne Conner, the TV character.

However, Roseanne Barr, is a woman who is mentally ill and has been for most of her life, yes R283, a personality disorder is a mental illness. When you mix a mental illness and days reading conspiracy theories you can get the crazy mashup that is her twitter feed and her beliefs, where she takes many different positions from across the spectrum and runs with them. For instance she is anti-Capitalism but supports Trump, a Capitalist businessman.

R284 Provide proof that she came out against gays in 2006 or that she is registered Republican. The only things, I can find about her and gays, is her speaking in support both before and after 2006, and I doubt she is registered as a member of any party, she ran in 2012 on the very left Peace and Freedom Party ticket, but voted for Obama, because she wasn't on the ballot in Hawaii.

Okay, I might have a little bit of sympathy for Roseanne when she tweeted apologies to Sara and Michael saying that she wished they had called her instead of going to social media to throw her under the bus. That I would normally understand. You screw up and your "friends" go on Twitter to tell everyone what a louse you are. I get that. But remembering she started everything certainly mitigates things. Also, Lisa Stanley on the local LA oldies station KRTH said that she's friends with her and became alarmed about her tweets. She texted her to lay off for a while to which Roseanne texted back (Stanley noted it was in capital letters) "MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS."

In her first autobiography (which is a great read), she discusses how her mother got the family involved in Mormonism because LDS priests prayed over her as a toddler and "healed" her of facial paralysis after she hurt herself in fall. She was held up by her smug, condescending congregation as an example of the "people of Judah" being saved from the fires of hell, even though the Barrs still went to temple in addition to attending church on Sundays. One day she read a medical textbook as a teenager and found out she had actually had Bell's palsy (which tends to go away spontaneously), whereupon she smoked two cigarettes, drank a beer, tried to buy drugs, and begged a boy she knew from school to "fuck my brains out."
