Roseanne Barr eviscerated her former TV son Michael Fishman in an expletive rant after he spoke out about her 2018 racism controversy last month.
âHe fâking doesnât even fâking know what I said,â she claimed in an upcoming episode of the âCanât Be Censoredâ podcast. âEven though Iâve explained it 10,000 times for nine years on the internet.â
Barr, who appeared on âRoseanneâ with Fishman from 1988 to 1997, claimed he âhasnât even taken the time to listenâ to what she has to say and labeled him a âbrainwashed bigot.â
According to the actress, Fishman â who portrayed her onscreen son, DJ Conner, in âRoseanneâ â had asked Barr to explain her rant to him in private after she had already tried to before, and so she gave him a heated response.
âI told him, âLet me explain this to you, Michael. Go and fâk yourself and stay fâked until the day you die. Donât fâking put my name in your fâking mouth. Shut the fâk up.ââ
Barr said that Fishman will never understand what she said because the Democratic party has been âshoved down [his] throat and up [his] ass.â
She continued, âFâk you. You have no geopolitical context whatsoever to discuss what I said. Go fâk yourself you little fâking worm.â
The comedian also claimed that she was the only reason why he was brought back for the âRoseanneâ reboot in 2018.
âI was the only reason you were on that show. They wanted to get rid of you in the reboot and I made them take you back. Fâk you, you little fâking putz,â she concluded.
Page Six has reached out to a rep for Fishman for comment.
As Page Six previously reported, Barr launched a racist tweetstorm in May 2018, which targeted Chelsea âClinton, George Soros and former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
The following day, she issued a blanket apology and announced she was leaving Twitter.
âI apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,â Barr wrote. âI am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.â
Shortly after her horrific rant, ABC canceled the âRoseanneâ reboot, which had just premiered two months earlier.
Days later, her feud with Fishman kicked off with Barr claiming her sitcom son threw her âunder the busâ â after he âvehementlyâ condemned her racist tweets.
The actor, notably, went on to star on ABCâs âThe Conners,â which was a direct continuation of the series âRoseanne,â just without Barr.
Last month, Fishman defended ABCâs firing of Barr while noting that âgood people make mistakesâ and that he âlove[s] the one who made this mistakeâ and âalways will.â
âIâll always have compassion and love [for Barr], and Iâve shown it continuously and she helped the world understand that good people can make mistakes,â he said.
âBut there was no joke. There was only damage and dehumanizing â and perpetuating racial tropes leads to real-world consequences.â
