Roseanne Barr is back, and she has some strong feelings about getting canceled from Hollywood.
The 69-year-old comedian is promoting a new documentary explaining her fall from public favor called &#8220;Roseanne: Kicked Out of Hollywood.” It debuts on <a href="https://www.reelz.com/show/kicked-out-of-hollywood/">Reelz</a> on April 24.
&#8220;Any tweet that was not ‘I love Hillary Clinton,&#8217; I got a call for,&#8221; Barr claimed in the expose, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/roseanne-barr-abc-fired-show-documentary">Fox News</a>.
The “Roseanne” alum also discussed how her family begged her to stop tweeting, but she refused because she loved it too much. 
&#8220;Everyone was begging me to give up my Twitter. Everyone,&#8221; the comedian said. &#8220;My kids were trying to lock me out, but I wouldn&#8217;t because it&#8217;s like I just couldn&#8217;t.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m a g**damn American and I&#8217;m not going to do it,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m a comic. I&#8217;m a bad girl. I&#8217;m too rock and roll. I&#8217;m going to say f*** it and f*** you until I take my last breath.&#8221;
Barr also addressed the tweet that led to her getting fired. The tweet read, “muslim brotherhood &amp; planet of the apes had a baby” and was aimed at former White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
“I shoulda not did it, but by God, I was really pissed that day,” Barr said of the incident. “I did something I wouldn’t do if I hadn’t been on that Ambien. It makes you do a lot of crazy sh**.”
Barr released an apology on Twitter at the time. “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,” the actress wrote. “I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”
However, her words weren’t enough to keep ABC from canceling “Roseanne” in response to the original comment, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/29/roseanne-apologizes-for-planet-of-the-apes-tweet-about-obama-aide-jarrett.html">CNBC</a>. They called Barr’s “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”
In the new documentary, Barr says she wasn’t given a chance to properly apologize and try to redeem herself. 
&#8220;When they called me up they were like, ‘What possible excuse have you got for why you did this? Why you did such an egregious, unforgivable thing?’ And I said, &#8216;I have no excuse. The only thing is, I thought she was white. And they said nothing back,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;And then I said, ‘Let me go on &#8216;The View&#8217; tomorrow and explain it and apologize. I made a mistake.’&#8221;
Ultimately, Barr sees herself being unfairly targeted for making a mistake.
&#8220;Witch-burning is what it is,&#8221; Barr said of getting fired and canceled. &#8220;Intellectual witch-burning. And arrogance and ignorance. All of the press of the United States, and the world and how they interpreted my tweet without any knowledge of the fact that I was sending it to a journalist in Iran about what was happening to the people in Iran. We were under such terrible censorship and it&#8217;s just terrible and frightening.&#8221;
The documentary includes statements from Mo’Nique, Howie Mandel, and &#8220;Roseanne&#8221; executive producer Allan Stephan, who all insist Barr is not actually racist.
