I love the Conners but my heart is always with Roseanne! I love her and the show ! 🤍🙂

[@ant1991.]

Roseanne created her show. It was about her own personal life. I stand with Roseanne til this day. People please remember she has a mental illness. But she also is a great writer and producer of The Roseanne Show. God forgives. Who are we to keep judging her. Let’s look into everyone’s closets. Probably most have some skeletons. Peace ✌️.

[@MartinSmith156]

Roseanne didn't create the original show, Matt Williams who also created the Cosby Show and later Home Improvement is officially credited as the creator, Roseanne's stories and personal life was used in the original show but Roseanne didn't start writing for it officially until the later seasons and she only wrote a handful of episodes

[@rosemeadehart1904]

Having mental illness does not excuse you from the ramifications of your behavior OR mean everyone in your workplace & life should have to deal with you.

Ok, mental health aside, she blamed Ambien for making the comment

I read in the media what happend and dont remember the real reason everything from the original Roseanne show stopped production. I believe it has alot to do with Trump as Roseanne friend And Trump Republican party politics. What ai believe and if Roaesnne is serious about healing herself. I will help her. She is an AMAC survivor and i remeber her telling some of her story and as well as her ex husband is an AMAC survivor as well. I see Roseanne as a very sick toxic woman right now. She isn't well and needs EMDR Emergency along time ago. Not all AMAC are willing to do the inner work and when we dont look at our seual assualts can turn into mental illness. Peace 🕊️ to y'all.
