Actress Roseanne Barr continues to apologize following the tweet that got her show canceled and is blaming Ambien. The woman she targeted is also speaking out.
Roseanna took to Twitter overnight trying to explain her recent actions. She wrote, “Guys, I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far…”
She cited Ambien again in a later tweet, saying, “Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”
The maker of the drug, Sanofi, was quick to respond, saying in part “racism is not a known side effect.”
The actress was talking about a since-deleted Tweet, comparing President Obama’s former adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
Barr had said: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
Hours later, Disney pulled the plug on her show.
