when was roseanne barr fired

Roseanne Barr was fired and her show "Roseanne" was canceled by ABC on May 29, 2018. This followed a racist tweet she posted about Valerie Jarrett, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, which was widely condemned. ABC called the tweet “abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values” and acted swiftly to cancel the show the same day Barr made the tweet.
