Roseanne Barr made it clear on Wednesday she's considering fighting ABC's
move to cancel her revival after her racist tweet -- and the comic even
pushed an accusation that former first lady Michelle Obama was behind her
ouster.
Despite initially saying she would be quitting Twitter after posting a
negative and racially charged comment about former Obama aide Valerie
Jarrett, the star returned Tuesday and let loose on social media.
On Wednesday, Barr revealed that the positive feedback she was getting
from people who still support her was making her feel emboldened to combat
ABC in some way.
“You guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my
options carefully and get back to U,” she wrote.

One right-wing activist even went as far as to accuse ABC Entertainment
President Channing Dungey of consulting former first lady Michelle Obama
before cancelling her show. Barr retweeted the claim to her followers.

It’s unclear what specifically Barr is talking about in terms of options.
ABC is allowed to cancel any of its shows at any times. As for Barr’s
firing, her tweet likely puts her in violation of her contract.
While it’s unclear exactly what the terms of her negotiations with ABC
were when it decided to bring her '90s sitcom back for a revival, standard
practice dictates that a morality clause be baked into actor’s contracts.
This provides a remedy for an employer to terminate a public figure in the
event they violate a crime or bring negative attention to the brand, in
this case, ABC.
The star might be able to litigate for wrongful termination, but it’s
unlikely that even invoking the First Amendment could get her out of the
morality clause given the public backlash from her tweet. It’s even more
unlikely that she could convince the network to reverse its cancellation
and green light a second season of her revival given the extremely
negative attention her words brought on the network.
Additionally, it would be hard for network Entertainment President
Channing Dungey to go back on her curt but clear statement in announcing
the cancellation.
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent
with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” she told Fox
News.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

Why not hire another actress to take over Barrnold's role, like Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, or Kathy Najimy?
