New York - The ABC television network canceled the sitcom 'Roseanne' on Tuesday after its main character Roseanne Barr published racist words on her Twitter account.
CNN reported, Channing Dungey, ABC entertainment president said, "Roseanne's statement on Twitter is very disgusting and inconsistent with our values," said Channing Dungey. "Therefore we decided to cancel the event," he continued.
Disney CEO Bob Iger, the show's producer, said "It's the right thing to do," he wrote on Twitter.
Early Tuesday, Roseanne Barr sent a Twitter that attacked three people. Namely Valerie Jarrett, advisors of former President Barack Obama. Also Chelsea Clinton, Clinton's daughter, and George Soros, Hungarian investors, and businessmen.
In one of her tweets, Roseanne writes "Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of The Apes had a baby = Valerie Jarett".

On the same day, Roseanne also wrote a ridicule on Chelsea Clinton through her tweet "Chelsea Soros Clinton".
