Roseanne Barr, after her controversial exit from TV, opened up about the emotional toll of her career downfall, particularly the role she felt her former co-star Sara Gilbert played in the scandal. In 2018, Barr faced massive backlash for a racially insensitive tweet,
leading to the abrupt cancellation of Roseanne and a major professional setback. She felt betrayed by Hollywood and her colleagues, especially Gilbert, who condemned her comments publicly. Barr later confronted Gilbert, which reportedly silenced the criticism.
