‘I’m not a racist, I’m an idiot’ – Roseanne Barr sobs

Roseanne Barr broke down in tears while giving her first interview about the controversial tweet she posted that spurred scores of people to call her a racist and ABC to cancel her rebooted show.

Speaking on the first episode of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast, the actress and comedienne apologised again for her words.

In her tweet, she made a remark about black, Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett, she tweets: “If Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.” Barr later apologised and said she was not a racist, just an idiot who made a bad joke.

She echoed her comments on Boteach’s podcast, saying: “Of course I’m not a racist, I’m an idiot, and I might have done something that comes across as a bigoted and ignorant and I know that that’s how it came across. I ask for forgiveness because I do love all people, I really do.”

“I have black children in my family,” Barr said, sobbing. “I never would have wittingly called any black person and say they are a monkey. I just wouldn’t do that, and I didn’t do that and that people think that I did that, it just kills me.
