Comedian Roseanne Barr made an appearance on FOX in an interview with Sean Hannity to discuss the fallout from her infamous tweet directed at former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

While discussing the tweet and the cancellation of the recently rebooted Roseanne show, the real life Roseanne seemed scattered at times, and bounced from one topic to another. Finally, after some prodding, she looked at the camera and offered this apology to Jarret:

I'm so sorry that you thought I was racist and that you thought my tweet was racist, because it wasn't. I'm sorry that you feel harmed and hurt. I never meant that and for that I apologize.

Barr then offered to discuss the issue with Jarrett so they could "move past this."




You can see the entire interview below.



Social media reactions were unsurprisingly mixed.









This doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon.

Kyle Rittenhouse Blasted Over Sociopathic Post Following ICE Shooting In Minneapolis

Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse sparked outrage after he offered to travel to Minnesota following ICE's fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
