And not only does Roseanne, 66, blame her old co-star, 44, for the cancellation, but she claims Sara 'destroyed her life'.

Sara was one of the first to condemn the message, writing on Twitter in May 2018: 'Roseanne’s recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least. 'This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.' Was this to blame? Sara was one of the first to speak out against Roseanne. The show was cancelled within 30 minutes The show was cancelled within 27 minutes of Sara's outraged tweet.
