RE: the 2018 trivial drivel thread

I guess people don't have lives and anything better to get pissed off over though, so ABC and her agency have to pretend they're distraught and heartbroken over her stupid comment to please everyone.

I think this may have come down to them not wanting to associate their brand with a racist. That's just a guess.

This is her agency's response - "What she wrote is antithetical to our core values, both as individuals and as an agency," the agency said in a statement. "Consequently, we have notified her that we will not represent her. Effective immediately, Roseanne Barr is no longer a client."

From ABC - From Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."
There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.
