Roseanne Barr tearfully breaks down in interview: 'I lost everything'

Roseanne Barr said she "horribly" regrets sending tweets that many called racist, in an emotional interview released over the weekend.

The actress talked to her friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach last month for his podcast after she was fired and her popular ABC series was canceled.

 

The inside story of how ABC fired Roseanne Barr

Barr tweeted about the interview on Sunday, saying it took place the day after her show was axed.

The rebooted "Roseanne" was pulled May 29 after a series of bizarre tweets Barr sent. In one, she wrote about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."

Barr appeared to be sobbing as she told Boteach she has black children in her family and she "can't let 'em say these things about that, after 30 years of my putting my family and my health and my livelihood at risk to stand up for people."

"I'm a lot of things, a loud mouth and all that stuff," she said emotionally. "But I'm not stupid for God's sake. I never would have wittingly called any black person, [I would never had said] they are a monkey."

Roseanne says she 'begged' ABC to save her show

Barr stressed that her saying she was on Ambien at the time she tweeted was an explanation, not an excuse.

"There's no excuse. I don't excuse it," she said. "It's an explanation. I was impaired you know."

She also told Boteach, "I horribly regret it."

"I lost everything, and I regretted it before I lost everything," Barr said. "And I said to God, 'I am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because I know I've done wrong. I'm going to accept what the consequences are,' and I do, and I have."

ABC rolls the dice, again, with Roseanne-free 'Roseanne'

ABC has since announced a spinoff of the show minus Barr titled "The Conners."

Uruguay vs Russia

Uruguay Wins World Cup Group A With Romp Over Russia

 

 

Uruguay won Group A at the World Cup with its third straight shutout of the tournament, beating host Russia, 3-0 in Samara. Both teams had already clinched advancement to the round of 16.

Uruguay	3	Final	0	Russia
Luis Suarez (10') Edinson Cavani (90') Denis Cheryshev (23' OG)	Group Stage

Luis Suarez opened the scoring for Uruguay in the 10th minute when he sent a free kick from inches outside the box perfectly into the corner of the net.

In the 23rd, Diego Laxalt tried a long-range shot. It caromed off Denis Cheryshev of Russia, changed directions sharply and hit the net. It was ruled an own goal.

Russia’s chance to come back dimmed badly when it was reduced to 10 men after Igor Smolnikov got a second yellow card for tripping.

Uruguay exploited its man advantage in the second half before finally getting a third goal in injury time. Edinson Cavani jumped on a rebound and poached it to make the final score 3-0.

 

Richard 'Old Man' Harrison From 'Pawn Stars' Dead at 77

Richard Harrison -- famously known as "Old Man" on "Pawn Stars" -- has died, according to his son, Rick Harrison.
''The Old Man' Harrison passed away this morning surrounded by those he loved," Rick said Monday morning ... "He will be tremendously missed by our family, the team at Gold & Silver Pawn and his many fans the world over."

"He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad."
The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. However, Harrison's appearances on the show over the last couple years were slim to none.
'Old Man' moved to Vegas back in the early '80s and opened the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with his son, Rick.

When the producers found the family and turned their daily lives into a show, it became an instant success. It's been on the air since July 2009 with 'Old Man' as one of the fan favorites.
A rep for History Channel tells TMZ, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend Richard ‘The Old Man’ Harrison, a beloved member of the HISTORY and ‘Pawn Stars’ family.  He will be greatly missed for his wisdom and candor."
Harrison is a Navy veteran and often talked about his military career on the show.
