Is it correct of Disney to cancel Roseanne's show and punish the cast for her stupidity?

Trump got elected by making fun of people. Not sure how anyone could complain about his being mocked. @sweetiepoo

@SW-User I definitely wasn't complaining about Trump being mocked. I was saying people are so sensitive to Trump being mocked when for 8 years they treated President Barack Obama like Trash. Trump spews hatred and offensive remarks all the time and people think it's ok. This need to stop and people need to know that it will not be tolerated. There are real people who wish real harm and have harmed due to the simple difference of a skin tone. It's ridiculous. It's sad that the show was cancelled, but she needed to be made an example of. She wasn't sorry. She was sorry that she got true mindset got caught and it effected her life. This is not the first time she has said anything like this.

@whynottalk Calling a black woman an ape isn't an example of snowflake political correctness. It's actually just old school racist.

@HoraceGreenley I agree, she needs to learn how to just shut up!

Very well put!
Yeah. It was a "had to be done " action.

Roseanne doesn't belong on a Disney property anyway. Maybe showtime or some other cable network.

And Roseanne was the star of the show. With her fired the show had to close.

Her comment was just
Plain
Stupid

It wasn't a political statement. It was an specifically targeted at her race.

ABC is in the entertainment business and made herself a liability

She needs to keep all her negative comments to herself!😠What she said was awful and she got what she deserved, I just feel sorry she messed it up for the rest of the cast. I just saw too where she was slamming most of the cast members?! 😐I'm not surprised and didn't read the article.

@JustLikeGreta I KNOW?! I hear she was on anti depressants so she must be off her meds?!🤔💊
@Peaches I guess so. Still think Disney jumped the gun, oh well all part of show biz I guess.

she has always been controversial especially in interviews and she's learning there are consequences to our actions..
@Peaches She claims she was on Ambien.. a sleeping drug. I will admit years ago I was on it and I did strange things in the middle of the night. However that doesnt make one a racist.
sweetiepoo · 36-40, F
@JustLikeGreta Unfortunately it has been a pattern with her, and her children have told her to stay off of social media for this very reason.
sweetiepoo · 36-40, F
@JustLikeGreta I don't know what Ambien does to people, but I know some people, when they are drunk they say " A drunk man tells no lies." 🤔

Roseanne knew the rules -- she' been at this a long time.
@Peaches I have no idea. Hey she is still quite rich, and just cannot keep her mouth shut.

@JustLikeGreta I KNOW?! I'm surprised she's still around...?!
@Peaches Me too.

I think she was fired as much out of Disney's embarrassment of her success as what she actually did. They were not comfortable with the show to begin with. Great ratings or not, this gave them the excuse they needed to drop it.

She has always been a crude, disrespecting, irreverent, performer and Disney knew it when they brought her back.

@bowman81 but look who fired her. says it all.

Network can’t have her alienate the audience for every other show.
sweetiepoo · 36-40, F
Sad the cast has to suffer for this.
Peaches · F
@sweetiepoo Yes, it is.🙁

Horace Greenley’s comments below are 100% on target. We have different political views on many things, but what he says about First Amendment rights is completely correct.

@Harmonium1923 You have Free Speech, but not Freedom from Consequences.
sweetiepoo · 36-40, F
@HoraceGreenley I was just telling a friend something similar to this. Of course this has nothing to do with Roseanne, but I told him that God gave us all freewill, WE still have a choice, but a certain choice (sin) will have it's consequences.

her name is the title of the show. so the bad publicity on her goes against the show and the people associated with it.
@Datdudeblack I guess, not even a fan of this show.

@JustLikeGreta i loved the show back then and kinda like it now. gotta put your job over political views or tasteless joke especially nowadays.
You are not allowed to make a mistake these days.But if she meant what she said-yes.
And I loved the original series.
@TheSirfurryanimalWales I liked the original, somewhat. RoseAnn loves controversy, she is basking in all the attention.
sweetiepoo · 36-40, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Honestly, I don't think she was truly sorry. I think she was sorry that it resulted in consequence. Had she had said the same exact thing and nothing was done, I truly don't think she would've been sorry.

Roseanne deserved what she got. It was unfortunate for the rest of the cast but at least they will know to be more careful who they choose to work with in future.
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
I think she has some part ownership of the show so they couldn't go on without her. I may be wrong though
@FreeSpirit1 Not sure, Darlene who is the online daughter, put up a lot of money to back the show.
BayouBoudin · 36-40, M
It is possible the show could be picked up by another network considering the ratings.
Catzgano · 31-35, F
The Darlene show is in the works 💤
DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
Goes with the territory...

Always the way it works.

Anyone who compares people mocking Trump for his policies, lifestyles, word choices, and actions to Rosanne's mocking of someone for their ethnicity alone needs to just admit they are are at best cozy with racism and maintain hypocritical double standards.
