Roseanne Barr: Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Air ‘Double Standard’

Roseanne Barr has accused ABC of treating her more harshly than late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, pointing to her 2018 firing compared with his recent five-day suspension.

In an interview with NewsNation on Tuesday, Barr said the network applied a “double standard” in allowing Kimmel to return quickly after ABC temporarily pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after comments he made during his Sept. 15 monologue.

“It just shows how they think,” Barr said. “I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness, all of my work stolen, and called a racist for time and eternity, for racially misgendering someone. It’s a double standard.”
