Laurie Metcalf Speaks on Roseanne Feud, No Drama

About this episode

Laurie Metcalf discusses the fallout from her relationship with Roseanne Barr following the show's reboot.

Laurie Metcalf clarifies the situation with Roseanne Barr, stating they havent spoken since the Roseanne reboot in 2018. Sara Gilbert supports this, highlighting the close bond everyone had with Barr, making the fallout difficult for the entire cast. The original Roseanne show ran from 1988 to 1997, capturing working-class family struggles. ABC revived it briefly, but ended it due to Barrs racist tweet. The Conners spinoff, without Barr, aired for seven seasons, with Metcalf and Gilbert trying to reach out but receiving no response. Barr remains silent about the show and sees her characters death as a personal attack. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
