I wish she'd shut the he77 up!
I don't see why she is singling out Gilbert aka Darlene. Gilbert's reaction was pretty professional in the sense that her main reason was to state Roseanne's comments doesn't reflect the show or any of the other actors on it. First she blames it on ambien, then she repeatedly uses the fact she didn't know Jarrett's ethnicity, and now it's Gilbert's fault somehow? Roseanne really needs to take responsibility for her OWN actions, like seriously. The not knowing her ethnicity weak defense doesn't add up because regardless of her race it's bullying. And blaming Gilbert... Others from the show also showed their disgust to her tweet as well. Most of them displayed that Roseanne's actions were not a reflection of all involved in the sitcom. The actress who plays her oldest grandchild expressed she was planning to quit the show because of it.. I remember Michael aka DJ reacted by talking about their platform on the show and the values and tones they try to set for the show. Roseanne reacts by saying she created that platform. Not the point!
It's so sad that she would now try to scapegoat an actress to whom she has been a second mother. I wish she would have just said, "I feel hurt about being left out of something I created," or "I feel misunderstood and I wish people had given me the benefit of the doubt about being a racist." I think she has always used toxic, dysfunctional strategies to get through life and in many ways it has worked for her but her politics have changed and many (I hope most) of us want to draw a clear line about racism being unacceptable. I feel a lot of sadness for her because she was a smart, talented person who accomplished a great deal but she doesn't have anything insightful to say at this point.
