Roseanne Barr writes 'I was Ambien tweeting,' Trump says ABC should apologize to him for past comments

President Donald Trump has tweeted his thoughts after the Roseanne reboot was cancelled by ABC. The president tweeted that Disney CEO Bob Iger should apologize to Trump for past comments about him made on ABC because Iger had apologized to Valerie Jarrett, the subject of Roseanne Barr's racist tweet.

In a tweet on Wednesday, she maintained that she does not consider herself a racist.

After the tweet went viral, Barr deleted it and apologized to Jarrett "and to all Americans." She also said she was leaving Twitter.

Since then, Barr has tweeted many apologies, but she has also started to fight back. In one tweet she calls her own words indefensible and blames Ambien for the initial tweet.

"guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended," she wrote.

Barr later wrote that "i blamed myself. not ambien."

Wednesday morning Barr seemed to defend Gilbert, saying she was "distancing herself" from Barr because "she has to," adding that she forgives Gilbert.

Overnight Barr retweeted messages of support from fans but also asked them not to defend her comment.

She also compared the response to President Donald Trump's experiences.

"Bob Iger, who is the CEO of Disney, called me before the announcement, he apologized, he said he had zero tolerance for that sort of racist, bigoted comment and he wanted me to know before he made it public that he was cancelling this show and so I appreciate that they did that so swiftly," Jarrett said.

Barr also made another apology late Tuesday.

"Don't feel sorry for me, guys!! I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people, and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet."

Streaming service Hulu and other cable networks have removed Roseanne reruns, and Barr was also dropped by her talent agency.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of ABC and this station.
