Roseanne Barr: "I didn't ask to be paid off, I asked for nothing" in Roseanne spinoff negotiations

The Blast

In a new interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Barr says of clearing the way for The Conners: "I just stepped away … because that is penance. I put a lot of thought into it.” Roseanne added that she especially wanted to have the show carry on because of her TV granddaughter, played by Jayden Rey. "She loved me and I loved her,” Barr says of Rey. “And I did not want her … to not have a job, because she’s great. And I did not want her to think that badly of Jewish people and me in specifically.”
