Social Media seems to be the hill literally everyone dies on.

ABC has cancelled the Roseanne reboot that had actually been doing well. Why? Well, because Roseanne Barr, like so many people, can’t stop herself when she’s on social media. As per the statement of Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment president:

Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.

What statement? Well, before it was deleted, she made a (rather in poor taste) joke at the expense of Valerie Jarret:

Rosanne Barr has, since, retracted her statement and offered an apology:

…but the damage is done. An 11th season of the show was set to premiere this Fall, but that went up in smoke.
