n her first public appearance since her show was canceled due to her racist tweet, Roseanne Barr spoke candidly about the weeks she spent in hiding.
On Thursday night, following her interview with Sean Hannity, the former Roseanne star made her way to New Yorks Stand Up Comedy Club, a frequent host of contentious right-wing guests like Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter, for Barrd with Roseanne Barr, where she spoke with close friend Rabbi Schmuley Boteach.
Touching on topics that ranged from Barrs devout Zionism to her incentives behind voting for President Donald Trump, the actress and comedian, 65, detailed her feelings amid the public backlash, receding to her mothers basement in Hawaii, where she spent two months.
I was afraid to go out, and also because when youre called a racist and you live on an island full of brown people, its kind of terrifying, she told the rabbi. (Ten percent of Hawaiis population is Native Hawaiian, meaning of Polynesian descent. The majority of Hawaiis population is Asian and white.)
It was the end of the world and my lifes work. But I lived through it and God has shown me great love and so have people and thats very healing, she continued.

Before that she used to call Israel a "Nazi state".
It was quite a flip.

(90,714 posts)As for the population being "brown people," who did she think was living there? Nearly everybody has been intermarried for generations. Maybe her mom didn't tell her?
Sounds like poor Roseanne had a genuine mental breakdown with paranoid episode and needs more help than Rabbi Boteach can offer.
