Wanda Sykes says she's DONE with working on "Roseanne" after the show's star, Roseanne Barr, went on a racist Twitter rant against former White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett. Receipts inside...
UPDATE: ABC/Disney just announced they are CANCELING the "Roseanne" reboot, which premiered on March 27th.
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey just announced the show will NOT be returning for an 11th season this fall.
"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," Channing wrote in a brief statement.
Well, there's that!

These pro-Trump supporters continue to show their REAL colors.
Actress/comedienne Wanda Sykes just QUIT ABC's hit reboot "Roseanne" after the show's leading star, Roseanne Barr, tweeted some racist ish aimed at Valerie Jarrett, former White House Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama.
In a few tweets, Wanda announced she's cutting ties with the show as a "consulting producer."
I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC.

YAS WANDA!
So, what did Roseanne say/tweet that caused Wanda to chuck the deuces? This tweet right here:
In the wee hours of the morning, Roseanne, who's known for her controversial tweets, compares Valerie Jarrett to a baby from the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, responding to a comment about Valerie Jarret. Roseanne tweeted, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj."
Really Roseanne?!
As expected, she deleted the tweet.
After receiving backlash on Twitter (y'all know Black Twitter wasn't having it), Roseanne came back to apologize and announced that she's "leaving Twitter":
Oh, now you want to run. But wait, before she announced she was leaving Twitter, she also attacked former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton.
Peep her tweets and Chelsea's response below:
Chelsea Soros Clinton

Roseanne really out in these Twitter streets feeling herself huh?
We wonder how ABC/Disney is going to handle one of their biggest stars spewing racist tweets on social media? The ball in their court. Things that make you go hmm....
And since we LIVE for a good read:
Bizarre is one word to describe Roseanne's comments about Valerie Jarrett, or you could use this one: https://t.co/zVJw6xps0Bhttps://t.co/ffMvKn445c
