Things quickly turned sour between Sara Gilbert and Roseann Barr after ABC nixed the “Roseanne” reboot. A tearful Gilbert addressed the “Roseanne” cancellation with her “The Talk” costars. “The show has always been about diversity, love, and inclusion. And it’s sad to see it end in this way,” she said. “I’m sad for the people who lost their jobs in the process. However, I do stand behind the decision that ABC made.”
Gilbert told the NYT that to “preserve [the show’s] legacy,” she made the decision to kill off Barr’s character and relaunch the sitcom as “The Connors,” with her as the main character. In April 2019, Gilbert announced she was leaving “The Talk” after nine seasons to concentrate on “The Connors,” which she executive produced in addition to starring in.
To say Barr was spitting mad would be an understatement. She accused Gilbert of ruining her life and of being a duplicitous backstabber. “It wasn’t enough that she stabbed me in the back and did what she did to me [on “The Talk”],” Barr told Megyn Kelly on her Sirius XM show. “But then she would go on her talk show every day and talk about how shocked she was at my racism on top of it.” Barr said that she called Gilbert and menacingly warned her, “You better shut your blankin’ mouth about me. I’m telling you, you better shut your effing mouth.”
