'Roseanne' Star Emma Kenney Says She Called Her Manager to Quit the Show Ahead of Cancellation
Stars from the cast of
Roseanne are reacting to the series' cancellation.
Shortly after ABC announced they were shutting down the revival on Tuesday following
Roseanne Barr's racist tweet, a production source told ET that those who worked on the show are "horrified," and feel that perhaps the reboot "wasn't meant to be."
"We can't believe Roseanne put the entire crew in jeopardy," the source said.
Many of Barr's co-stars took to social media to
weigh in on the controversial tweet, including
Emma Kenney, who played Sara Gilbert's onscreen daughter, Harris Conner-Healy, on the show. The 18-year-old actress said she felt inspired by consulting producer Wanda Sykes for being the first to publicly reveal she would "not be returning to @RoseanneABC" after Barr's comment.
"As I called my manager to quit working on Roseanne, I was told it was cancelled," Kenney tweeted. "I feel so empowered by @iamwandasykes, Channing Dungey and anyone at ABC standing up for morals and abuse of power. Bullies will NEVER win."
"I am hurt, embarrassed, and disappointed," another tweet read. "The racist and distasteful comments from Roseanne are inexcusable."
