TV studio ABC has pulled the plug on "Roseanne", one of their most successful sitcoms, after its lead star Roseanne Barr made a racist tweet about former President Barack Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Barr used Jarrett's initials and wrote, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby."
Gilbert expressed her sorrow over the show's demise in another tweet. She said, "This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we've created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love- one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member."
Another actor, Emma Rose Kenney, tweeted, "I am hurt, embarrassed, and disappointed. The racist and distasteful comments from Roseanne are inexcusable."
