The MGM National Harbor has canceled Roseanne Barr’s October 12 performance. It’s the latest blow to the actress after she posted a racist tweet.
MGM National Harbor did not say why they canceled Barr’s performance and offered no other comment, other than to say the performance was canceled.
However, the cancellation came just hours after ABC pulled the plug on the reboot of her hit show ‘Roseanne’.
Barr’s tweet—which has since been deleted—attacked Valerie Jarrett, who was an adviser to former President Barack Obama.
"muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” Barr wrote, using Jarrett's initials.
Barr apologized on Twitter and said her joke “was in bad taste.”
However, on Tuesday, she was back at it on Twitter, retweeting people who disagreed with ABC’s decision to cancel the show.
She also tried to explain what caused her to tweet.
"It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible," Barr tweeted. "I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but...don't defend it please. ty."
Like her previous tweet, this one has since been deleted as well.
