Roseanne Barr’s Explosive Tell-All Unleashed: She Claims She ‘Died Many Times’ After Sara Gilbert’s Betrayal ‘Destroyed’ Her Life and Career—Shocking Secrets of Hollywood’s Darkest Fallout Revealed as She Rises from the Ashes with a Bold New Show!

On April 6, 2025, Roseanne Barr, 72, ripped open old wounds in a gut-wrenching interview, claiming she “would die many times” after her 2018 firing from Roseanne—a collapse she pins on co-star Sara Gilbert, who she says “destroyed” her life. The comedy legend, once TV’s queen, bared her soul about the tweet that torched her career—calling Valerie Jarrett a “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes” hybrid—and the betrayal that followed. “Sara’s tweet annihilated me,” Barr seethed, accusing Gilbert of sparking ABC’s ax with her “abhorrent” condemnation. Fans on X are ablaze, torn between outrage and awe.

Barr’s spiral was brutal. After her racist May 2018 post, ABC canned Roseanne—then the top primetime show—replacing it with The Conners, killing off her character. “I felt the devil tearing me apart,” she told The Times, describing a “dark night of the soul” where faith alone kept her afloat. She begged to explain on-air, insisting she thought Jarrett was white, but claims execs iced her out. “They hated my talent, my voice,” she fumed, contrasting her exile with Dave Chappelle’s resilience. Only Mo’Nique stood by her, a lifeline amid Hollywood’s silence.

Gilbert, who played Darlene since age 13, became Barr’s scapegoat. Her swift denouncement—“This isn’t us”—and The Talk rants fueled Barr’s fury. “She wouldn’t stop until she ate my liver with Chianti,” Barr snarled, recalling a confrontation where she roared, “Shut your mouth!” Gilbert clammed up, but the damage lingered. The Conners thrives without Barr, a bitter pill she’s swallowed with reluctant peace. “Forgiving saved me,” she admitted, seeing her ousting as divine shielding.

Now, Barr’s clawing back. In January 2025, she unveiled a wild TV return—a dark comedy co-written with Allan Stephan, set in Alabama, blending Roseanne vibes with Sopranos grit. She stars as a farmer fending off drug lords with “guns, the Bible, petty crime, and alcoholism,” growing cannabis and mushrooms. “It’s Coen brothers-level offensive,” she grinned, promising unfiltered satire. Inspired by her 47-acre Hawaiian macadamia farm—bought in 2007 for $1.78 million, now her full-time haven—it’s her middle finger to Hollywood’s “witch-burning.”

Barr’s farm life, shared on Instagram—mowing grass, chasing rainbows—grounds her. Selling her $3.5 million LA pad in 2025 cemented her retreat. Fans adore her rawness: “Your normal house is real,” one wrote. From despair to defiance, Barr’s saga—scarred by Gilbert’s “knife,” buoyed by faith and Mo’Nique—ends with a roar. Her comeback’s a gamble, but she’s betting on herself, scars and all.
