LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Roseanne Barr has made headlines once again with her claims that President Donald Trump’s inner circle is avoiding her despite her strong support for the president.

In a recent interview with Variety, Barr expressed her frustration over being perceived as an unpredictable figure, causing many within Trump’s administration to distance themselves from her.

Roseanne Barr is 'hurt' by the approach of Donald Trump's close allies

Speaking about situation, Roseanne Barr admitted, “The Trump administration regards me as a loose cannon, which I am. I’m not a party-line person for anyone or anything except myself.”

The controversial 72-year-old comedian and actress' statements come as a surprise to many as Barr has been an outspoken advocate for the MAGA movement, even releasing a pro-Trump rap video before the 2024 inauguration.

However, the stunt did not seem to earn her favor with Trump’s close allies, leading her to feel rejected despite her public support.

"The Trump staff or whoever runs it, they’re a little afraid of me,” Barr continued.

“I am a loudmouth comedian, so I understand it. But it really hurt my feelings,” she added.

Roseanne Barr's new comedy project in the works

Despite the cold shoulder from Donald Trump’s associates, Roseanne Barr remains determined to carve out a new path in conservative entertainment.

She revealed that she has collaborated with writer-producer Allan Stephan on a new comedy show.

Stephan, known for his work on 'Arli$$ and Roseanne', has teamed up with Barr to develop a project intended to appeal to right-wing audiences.

The show, which is expected to run for four to six episodes, has been described as a hybrid of 'The Roseanne Show' and 'The Sopranos.'

Set in small-town Alabama, it follows the life of a farmer fighting against drug cartels and foreign adversaries while growing marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms as a means of survival.

“It’s silly and out there. It’s based on my life as a farmer in Hawaii. They save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime, and alcoholism," Barr explained.

She also compared the show’s style to the work of the Coen brothers known for films like 'Fargo', 'The Big Lebowski', and 'No Country for Old Men', though its premise diverges significantly from their storytelling.

Roseanne Barr's bid for a controversial comeback

Roseanne Barr's attempt to re-enter television follows her 2018 firing from the ABC revival of 'Roseanne' which was a major success until her since-deleted racist tweet about former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

She referred to Jarrett, who is Black, as the descendant of the "Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes."

The backlash was swift, leading ABC to cancel her show and launch a spinoff titled 'The Conners', excluding her character entirely.



 

Barr later apologized for her remarks and claimed that Disney CEO Bob Iger made the decision to fire her after consulting with both Jarrett and former president Barack Obama.

However, a Disney source denied any conversation with Obama and stated that Iger only spoke with Jarrett after Barr’s dismissal was already decided, according to Daily Mail.

Roseanne Barr opens up on going independent if necessary

Undeterred by her Hollywood exile, Roseanne Barr remains resolute in her commitment to right-wing entertainment and insists that she will push forward with her show, even if major networks refuse to back it.

“If Hollywood doesn’t buy it, then I’m just gonna make it myself. The people who watch TV would really like to see a show where working-class people win against the enemies of America,” she said.

She also argued that Hollywood executives are unwilling to cater to pro-Trump audiences despite the financial potential.

“Hollywood has made itself irrelevant to the American people,. They prefer to lose money rather than make content that appeals to them," she shared.

Regardless of industry backing, Barr remains firm in her stance.

“I don’t give a f**k either way. I’d like to get paid handsomely to bring another s**t f*****g network back from doom as I’ve done twice for ABC. But I just don’t see how they would keep their nose out of my business,” she said.
