Roseanne: My character gets killed off 'The Conners' by opioid overdose

Roseanne Barr has revealed how the “Roseanne” spinoff show, “The Conners,” will be getting rid of her character: death by opioid overdose.

Barr appeared on Brandon Straka’s YouTube show, “Walk Away,” over the weekend and announced that her namesake character wasn’t written off gently.

“Oh ya, they killed her,” she said, adding, “They have her die of an opioid overdose.” Barr slammed ABC for giving her character that ending and said it insulted the fans “who loved that family in that show.”

Despite her issues, she’s resigned herself to her character’s end. “There’s nothing I can do about it,” she acknowledged. “It’s done. It’s over.”
