Roseanne Barr is trying to get the phone numbers of Valerie Jarrett, Michelle Obama, and George Soros to apologize to them following her controversial tweet storm Tuesday which led to ABC’s cancellation of her hit sitcom.
“Attempting to also get phone numbers for Jarrett, Michelle and GS to personally apologize to them tho I disagree with their politics. I was still wrong 2 dehumanize them-they r not my enemy, harboring hate & anger is my enemy. I can speak respectfully 2 those w whom I disagree,” Barr tweeted.

On Tuesday, ABC Entertainment canceled the reboot of “Roseanne,” after Barr said on Twitter that Jarrett, a former Obama adviser, looked like a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes.”
Barr also went after Soros and former first lady Michelle Obama that same day. The actress accused Soros of being a Nazi and retweeted a message accusing Michelle Obama of being the reason behind her show’s cancellation.
Barr later apologized for her remarks and said the popular sleep aid Ambien played a role in her racist tweet storm.

“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste,” she tweeted Tuesday.
