In reply to the discussion: ABC cancels Roseanne [View all]FakeNoose
(32,639 posts)91. Wanda Sykes quit the show on thespot
I don't know if Wanda Sykes had a hand in getting Roseanne cancelled or not, but she quit the show as soon as she saw Roseanne Barr's ridiculous hateful tweet. She quit on the spot, announced she wasn't returning to the show.
So one day later the show is cancelled. Good on you Wanda, and awesome of ABC!

When even the dictionary calls Roseanne out as a racist, I'm pretty sure she's a racist...

How much you want to bet she has undiagnosed mental and/or substance issues?
