when was roseanne fired

Roseanne Barr was fired in May 2018. ABC canceled her show "Roseanne" shortly after she posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a former advisor to President Barack Obama. The tweet compared Jarrett to a combination of "Planet of the Apes" and the Muslim Brotherhood, which led to swift backlash and ABC calling the tweet "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey announced the cancellation, and the show was pulled from the network soon after.
