Roseanne Barr Bashes Disney’s ‘Double Standard’ as Kimmel Returns to TV: ‘I Got My Whole Life Ruined’Simon Kent 25 Sep 2025
Roseanne Barr has bashed Disney’s double standard after it allowed Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late night TV following an ever-so-brief suspension, declaring Wednesday “I got my whole life ruined.”
Barr’s hit sitcom Roseanne was cancelled in 2018 by ABC Entertainment, property of the Disney Entertainment division of the Walt Disney Company, after the actress posted a social media critique of former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.
In it she invoked the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, as Breitbart News reported.
Barr apologized for the tweet. She said it was a “bad joke” that was “in bad taste,” adding she was under the influence of the sedative Ambien.
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks,” Barr said at the time. “I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”
However, the actress-comedian feels a double standard is at play after Kimmel’s rushed return.
“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,” the 72-year-old told NewsNation.
“It’s a double standard.”
