Roseanne Barr is reacting to the death of her character revealed during The Conners premiere on Tuesday night (October 16).

After it was revealed during the show that matriarch Roseanne had died of an opioid overdose, the 65-year-old disgraced actress took to Twitter to acknowledge her character’s death.

“I AIN’T DEAD, BITCHES!!!!” Roseanne tweeted during the show.

Back in September, Roseanne said that the show would be killing her off, but ABC never commented on the show.

“It wasn’t enough to do what they did to me,” Roseanne said at the time. “They had to so cruelly insult the people who loved that family and that show.”

Roseanne was fired from her show’s reboot back in May after she made a racist comment about President Obama‘s former adviser Valerie Jarrett.

New episodes of The Conners air on Tuesday nights on ABC at 8pm ET.

The premiere episode of The Conners aired on Tuesday night (October 16) and Roseanne Barr‘s character’s death was revealed.

The episode began three weeks after Roseanne’s death. While the Conner family thought she died from a heart attack, the coroner’s office reveals she died from an opioid overdose.

During the season finale of Roseanne that aired in May, it seemed that Roseanne’s addiction to painkillers because of a knee injury had been resolved. That changed after real-life Roseanne made a racist tweet that led to her being fired.

Roseanne previously revealed that she was going to be killed off via a drug overdose and she felt the move was “cruel.”

“It wasn’t enough to do what they did to me,” she said in an interview last month. “They had to so cruelly insult the people who loved that family and that show.”

Roseanne Barr reveals how her character Roseanne’s absence will be addressed on the upcoming ABC spinoff, The Conners.

If you don’t know, Roseanne was fired from her own reboot after sending out a racist tweet months ago.

Roseanne made an appearance on Brandon Straka‘s YouTube show “Walk Away,” and she revealed (SPOILERS AHEAD) that her character will be killed off.

“Oh ya, they killed her. They have her die of an opioid overdose,” she said on the program.

“There’s nothing I can do about it,” Roseanne added of the writers’ decision. “It’s done. It’s over.”

The Conners will premiere on Tuesday (October 16) at 8/7c on ABC.

The first photos from the Roseanne spinoff, The Conners, have just debuted online. Since Roseanne was cancelled and she was fired from the show, Roseanne Barr will not be featured in the new series.

The new photos feature Dan (John Goodman), Becky (Lecy Goranson), Darlene (Sara Gilbert), Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) and Mark (Ames McNamara).

The show will premiere on Tuesday (October 16) at 8/7c on ABC.

WILL YOU BE WATCHING the brand new Roseanne spinoff show??

If you don’t know, Roseanne was fired several months back after sending out a racist tweet.

Roseanne Barr is making a move.

“I have an opportunity to go to Israel for a few months and study with my favorite teachers over there, and that’s where I’m going to go and probably move somewhere there and study with my favorite teachers. I have saved a few pennies and I’m so lucky I can go…and study with any rabbi that I can ask to teach me, and it’s my great joy and privilege to be a Jewish woman,” she said.

“I’m not going to curse it or bless it,” she said of The Conners.

“I’m staying neutral. That’s what I do. I’m staying neutral. I’m staying away from it. Not wishing bad on anyone and I don’t wish good for my enemies. I don’t. I can’t. I just stay neutral. That’s what I gotta do. I have some mental health issues of depression and stuff. I got to stay in the middle or I’ll go dark, and I don’t want to go dark again. I’ve done it. After all, I was married to Tom Arnold. Ha ha,” she added.

She also revealed that she “went to Nashville and cut a record.”

“I’m singing and getting better. I’m not great, or even good, but I’m better,” she said.

She also says she’s working on a new sitcom: “I’m very excited. It’s very funny,” she explained.

John Goodman is giving his first extensive interview after the cancellation of Roseanne due to the star Roseanne Barr‘s racist tweet.

“I was broken-hearted, but I thought, ‘OK, it’s just show business, I’m going to let it go. But I went through a period, about a month, where I was very depressed. I’m a depressive anyway, so any excuse that I can get to lower myself, I will. But that had a great deal to do with it, more than I wanted to admit,” John told The Times.

John added about the huge reaction to the racist tweet, “I was surprised. I’ll put it this way, I was surprised at the response. And that’s probably all I should say about it. I know, I know, for a fact that she’s not a racist.”

About the new reboot, The Conners, Roseanne signed over all her rights.

“She had to sign a paper saying that she relinquished all her rights to the show so that we could go on. I sent her an email and thanked her for that,” he said. “I did not hear anything back, but she was going through hell at the time. And she’s still going through hell.”

Tim Allen is standing by his friend Roseanne Barr.

While attending FOX’s 2018 TCA Press Tour on Thursday night (August 2), the 65-year-old actor address the 65-year-old disgraced actress’ racist tweets and her firing from ABC.

“I go away back with Rosie and that’s not the Rosie I know,” Tim said. “She was the most diverse and tolerant woman I’ve ever known for a long time. Whatever got in her head, isn’t the Roseanne I know.”

Tim‘s show Last Man Standing was axed by ABC after six seasons and was picked up for a seventh season by FOX.

“It’s a very icy time. I’m a veteran comedian for 38 years and I’ve never seen it, like Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion, ‘We’ve gone backwards.’ There are things you can’t say. There are things you shouldn’t say,” Tim continued. “Who makes up these rules? And as a stand-up comic, it’s a dangerous position to be in because I like pushing buttons. It’s unfortunate.”

The Roseanne reboot was cancelled by ABC after Roseanne‘s racist tweets.

“I’ve worked for ABC for years…I don’t really believe it was a political decision,” Tim added. “I think it was a financial decision…I thought it was done very poorly, that’s my point of view. I was heartbroken.”
