Roseanne Barr has gone back on her word to give TV interviews as she finds them "too stressful and untrustworthy".

The star of the now cancelled ABC show "Roseanne" had earlier announced that she would be giving a TV interview this week.

"To my wonderful fans who I treasure and love - who have carried me these past weeks when I was too weak to carry myself: I will be doing a TV interview this week. I'll tell you about it tomorrow!" Barr had posted on Twitter on July 8.

Now two days later, the actor seems to have had a change of heart.

 

"After a lot of thought, I decided that I won't be doing any TV interviews, too stressful and untrustworthy for me and my fans."

She hinted at her future plans in the tweet, adding, "I'm going to film it myself and post it on my YouTube channel in the next week- the entire explanation of what happened and why! I love you all - sign up and get ready."

Barr's TV show, "Roseanne", had been cancelled by ABC Network after she compared Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to former US President Barack Obama, to an ape. Barr had later apologised for her "bad joke".
