Roseanne Barr might have been the first shot fired in the cancel culture war against free speech, comedy and creativity, but she has emerged from the other side and now she is firing back. After losing her own show “Roseanne” for some late-night Tweets while under the influence of the hypnotic sleep drug ambien, Barr is finally recovered, and is set to drop her raunchiest, most politically incorrect special of her career. That is quite a statement considering her history. In an interview Thursday with the Los Angeles Times, Barr laid bare her feelings about cancel culture and her ordeal. check this out.

“They didn’t do it to anyone else in Hollywood,” she said of the fallout of her controversial late-night tweets while, she claims, on Ambien. 

“I’ve survived. I’ve come out on the other side of it, finally. But it was a witch-burning,” she told the Times. “And it was terrifying. It was.”

“Oh my God, they just hated me so badly. I had never known that they hated me like that,” she continued. “They hate me because I have talent, because I have an opinion. Even though ‘Roseanne’ became their number one show, they’d rather not have a number one show.”

Roseanne Barr doesn’t watch "The Conners": When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I’m mentally ill or have mental health issues, that they did want me to commit suicide. They killed my character, and my character. https://t.co/9jmMRGwt4z

The left hates comedy and free speech. Regular Americans know that. The left wants to burn this country to the ground, and comedy with it. Barr found that out the hard way as the show actually named for her and created by her was snatched away, and her friends and co-workers shut her out. Roseanne has been compared to Louis CK and Dave Chappelle, both targets of the left in recent years, but she correctly points out that she was the only one that lost literally everything.

“I’m the only person who’s lost everything, whose life’s work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me,” she said. “And there was silence. There was no one in Hollywood really defending me publicly, except for Mo’nique, who is a brave, close, dear friend.”

Even the cast mates on Roseanne, many of whom grew up before her eyes abandoned her, likely in an attempt to save their own careers. Nothing like adversity to let you know who your friends and allies are.

“I don’t know why they did what they did. I’m not like them. I realized that,” she continued. “I can’t believe what they did, with all the pain that I went through to bring the show back. And it didn’t faze them to murder my character, either.”

But, she insisted that she’s not harboring any resentment toward them. “I forgive everybody,” she told the outlet. “I started thinking that God took me out of there to save me. And once I started thinking that way, I was, like, a lot better off.”

Whether you love or hate her, Roseanne is undeniably unfiltered. Her brand of comedy has always been crass, rude, and politically incorrect, much like what most people think, but are afraid to say. Roseanne was a blue-collar housewife before striking out and making a go of it in the stand-up comedy world, and her unfiltered opinions played well until the woke left decided free speech and unpopular opinions were taboo.

Barr appears to be done apologizing as she prepares to launch her latest comedy special on Fox Nation. “Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!” drops Monday on the streamer alongside a new documentary career retrospective called “Who Is Roseanne Barr?”

Whether anyone is interested in Roseanne or not, it is significant and important that she get another shot. Until silenced voices are allowed a platform again, cancel culture will continue to win. We can’t allow that to happen, and having Barr back in a high-profile special is a move in the right direction.
