I wonder if this is actionable. If she could be sued by all those under contract who lost their jobs because of her actions. If she had been warned about social media in the past, I would think that the show being canceled would be considered a foreseeable consequence, and thus the loss of money real damages incurred because of her.

Conversely though, if she's a known loose cannon then could it be argued that anyone signing on to a project that relied on her was willingly taking the implosion risk?

One of Roseanne’s follow-up tweets:
Quote: |
"guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting -- it was memorial day too -- i went 2 far & do not want it defended -- it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but...don't defend it please.” |

It makes me wonder if Joan Rivers was alive today, and Tweeted the same thing what Roseanne did, would Joan get away with it?

Found this article that talks about 3 shows - 7th Heaven, The Cosby Show, and Roseanne - that have had re-runs pulled because of scandals with a star. It says that Jessica Biel would be getting something over $100,000 a year from 7th Heaven royalties. Also mentions that even non-stars get (or in this case, lost) royalties.
It says that The Cosby Show had already been pulled from TV Land in 2014, and later Bounce TV and BET later stopped showing it (Bounce TV after the guilty verdict). But it is still shown on TV One in my area. Prior to The Cosby Show being pulled networks had pulled a 1990's show title Cosby.

It would have been a good episode for the show
Rosanne's character makes bad joke/racist tweets, starts a firestorm in her community, has to face the real life repercussions of her family including DJ her son who is married to an African American woman serving overseas and her mix race Grand Daughter who Roseanne clearly loves. Then the backlash grows and outside forces attack Rosanne while others come to her defense, creating a whole new set of issues. And were forced to deal with question like 'What do you do when someone you love says or does something racist? What affect does that racism have on the people around that person? Can you say or do something racist but still be redeemable? Can people learn and change from these experiences? How do certain aspects of society use these kind of moments to promote their own agenda? What are the real life consequences?" Actually face and discuss why people say and do racist things in the context of a working class family.
The show was doing such a great job of shining a light on social issues and working class people and actually giving both sides of an issue humanity (Political leanings, oppiod addiction, having a gender fluid child, Arab-phobia, the actual affect of illegal immigration on working class Americans, unaffordable health care, divorce) it was the closest thing we've had to All In the Family in Years. It is a shame it had to end this way.

'Roseanne' cancellation? It was Sara Gilbert's fault, Barr says
Quote: |
It was Sara Gilbert's fault.
That's what Roseanne Barr told The Washington Post about ABC's cancellation of her "Roseanne" reboot.
Barr caused an uproar May 29 when she posted what many considered a racist tweet about Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. Reaction was swift, with the network dropping its highest-rated show within hours.
But in a wide-ranging story published Thursday, Barr told The Post she blames Gilbert, who played daughter Darlene Conner on the show.
Hours after Barr's early-morning post, Gilbert tweeted that Barr’s comments were “abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.”
“She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet,” Barr said. “She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.” |
