Yet it didn’t have to be that way.
Continued success was all but assured.

“I thought that it would be very funny,” she said.
“None of this was meant viciously.
Nobody feels worse than me.”
Barr’s parents, Helen and Jerome Barr, denied all her allegations.
“Now you don’t think you were sexually abused?”
asked host Sean Hannity, as reported by theDaily Mail.
“Well, I think psychologically,” Barr replied.
“Everybody in my whole family is messed up.”
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
According to Barr, Arnold “became extremely abusive to people.
It was my fault for bringing him there.”
Barr and Arnold stirred up tension with the show’s writing staff by constantly rewriting scripts.
“The writers had a fear of me and her,” Arnold admitted.
“I was number 2,” she said.
“The writers did not think it was funny.”
I think they learned something from it."
She also took a pair of scissors to Arnold’s credit cards.
The following year, Barr married Ben Thomas, whom she’d previously employed as her bodyguard.
They divorced in 2002, and share a son, Buck.
“Apparently, she is mocking the Holocaust,” O’Reillysolemnly told viewers.
“Oh my god, you don’t wanna piss off Jews,” she said.
“Even if you’re a Jew, don’t piss off Jews.”

AsInsiderreported, the episode titled “Go Cubs” found Barr’s character suspicious that her neighbors were terrorists.
The episode was hit with backlash on social media.
Among those offering criticism was Muslim-American writer and editor Elham Khatami.
“This is tired,” Khatami wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
“Roseanne thinking her Muslim neighbors are terrorists isn’t funny.
Not even for a second.
Muslims deal with that bigotry on a daily basis.
And it’s dangerous” (via Insider).
Too little and too late, Barr tweeted a mea culpa.
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans.
““Well, I’ve apologized a lot.
It’s been two months,“she said.
“I feel like I have apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness and made recompense.”
It cost me everything, my life’s work, everything.
I made a mistake and I paid a price for it.”
Host Sean Hannity then encouraged Barr to apologize directly to Jarrett.
It was political,” Barr said.
