\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tLaurie Metcalf candidly addressed where she stands with Roseanne Barr after the comedian\u2019s shocking exit from the Roseanne revival. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing controversial,\u201d Metcalf, 70, told The New Yorker on Monday, April 27. \u201cWe just haven\u2019t spoken since we said goodbye at the end of the reboot.\u201d Metcalf\u2019s costar Sara Gilbert, who played Barr\u2019s onscreen daughter, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Fishman\u2019s video further argued that his former costar\u2019s words caused \u201cdamage and dehumanizing [through] perpetuating racial tropes.\u201d He also concluded, \u201cThe only people who were backstabbed were the people who were targeted by the statements and those who became collateral damage from it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hours after Barr\u2019s tweet was shared, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey<\/strong> announced in a statement, \u201cRoseanne\u2019s Twitter is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel our show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")

The cancellation attracted commentary at the time from multiple members of the Roseanne<\/em> cast including Fishman. \u201cToday is one of the hardest in my life. I feel devastated, not for the end of the Roseanne<\/em> show, but for all those who poured their hearts and souls into our jobs, and the audience that welcomed us into their homes,\u201d he tweeted at the time. \u201cOur cast, crew, writers and production staff strived for inclusiveness, with numerous storylines designed to reflect inclusiveness. The words of one person do not exemplify the thinking of all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
