‘The Conners’ killed off Roseanne Barr’s character, and she’s not cool with it

Back in May, the reboot of Roseanne was cancelled after Roseanne Barr posted a racist remark on Twitter. 

That eventually led to The Conners, a Barr-free spinoff of Roseanne, which eventually aired on ABC Tuesday night. 

The end of Barr’s character, Roseanne Connor, was made clear from the very start. Her character was killed off in the first episode, eliminating the possibility of her existence in The Conners universe. 

That decision didn’t please Barr, who soon fired off a tweet.

I AIN’T DEAD, BITCHES!!!!
