Roseanne Barr calls out 'double standard' of Jimmy Kimmel's return to air: 'I got my whole life ruined'

Roseanne Barr is unhappy that Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air.

The former sitcom star, whose award-winning Roseanne was canceled in 2018 after she published a racist social media post about former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, believes a "double standard" is at play in ABC lifting its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after just five days.

"It just shows how they think. I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness, all of my work stolen, and called a racist for time and eternity, for racially misgendering someone," she told NewsNation on Tuesday. "It's a double standard."

In the May 2018 post, Barr wrote that Jarrett, who is Black, was equivalent to "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby." Though the comedian deleted and apologized for the post hours after publishing, ABC canceled the Roseanne reboot, with former network president Channing Dungey commenting, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."

Looking back on the time, Barr claimed that Kimmel "called me a racist even though I said repeatedly, which they repeatedly censored, that it was a mistake. I thought that the woman was a white woman from Iran." Barr pointed out that the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host "called me a racist even though he himself appeared in blackface on their network many times."

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to Kimmel for comment. Kimmel did previously appear on television in blackface on numerous occasions, impersonating basketball player Karl Malone. Those appearances occurred on his former sketch comedy series The Man Show, however, which aired on Comedy Central.

"There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke," Kimmel shared in a statement addressing the appearances in 2020.

She’s so tiresome. If her life was ruined, she did it to herself. She’s a victim. If they didn’t bring back Jimmy, he’d never claim that his whole life was ruined.

"so I do think it’s plausible that Roseanne didn’t know."

When making incendiary comments in today's overheated political environment, it's best to have all the facts in hands before shooting off one's piehole.

Otherwise, you just come across as a half-cocked asshole, a role Roseanne has played to quite some acclaim for the last 35 years.

It's interesting to me that even the right hasn't re-claimed her. Even they know she's too off her rocker.

When I read her statement, I had to laugh.

Back when Roseanne was first doing standup (before she became ridiculously famous and when she was actually funny), she mentioned in her monologue that she's a Jew who was raised in Utah (23:54 below), and she really stood out. There was a line about her going to her rabbi for advice about feeling so different, and she said, "Well, Rabbi Christianson..." It was funny at the time.

If you know anything about the LDS (Mormon) faith (just watch Big Love with Bill Paxton -- you'll learn), you'll recognize the phrase she used in her statement "for time and eternity" as a phrase right out of the Mormon handbook, so to speak.

What goes around comes around, I guess.

I don't know why she calls her life ruined. She lives quite comfortably from royalties and received a good check for The Conners. I am sure her blue-color audience is doing a tad worse than she. If she is talking about emotional state, I'd say she probably has the best time ever right now. There is nothing MAGAs like more than complaining about how they are being wronged. Imagine MAGAs were all happy and content. Is there such thing?

Roseanne has been looking better lately, more effort into her hair and makeup and not as heavy as she used to be.

She damages everything she touches or comes across.

While we're mentioning Barr's Valerie Jarrett tweets, do Kimmel's several instances of blackface, complete with characterized voices, deserve a mention? He does seem to get a pass where this is concerned. Even Luenell is a staunch defender that Roseanne Barr is not racist.

Look at Defacto’s outrage about black face, something Kimmel did 20+ years ago and has since apologized for.

My mom is half-Russian Jewish and looks A LOT like Roseanne. She looks like she could be her taller, thinner younger sister. I remember watching "Roseanne" as a kid and even noticing it back then, and as my mom has aged, the resemblance has only gotten stronger. Fortunately, she's not remotely as insane as Roseanne, though she has her moments.
