ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Her Racist Twitter Rant

ABC has officially canceled "Roseanne" in light of "Planet of the Apes" tweet. 

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC said. The content of Roseanne Barr tweets was suggesting former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett was a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the "Planet of the Apes."

ABC President Channing Dungey said, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."

Following Roseanne Barr's Twitter rant, one of the show's producers, Wanda Sykes, said she will not be returning to the show.
