Previously attributing her actions to a blend of alcohol and Ambien, she now claims fury spurred her actions after discovering a new season of “Roseanne” commenced without her involvement. “…I’m gonna go out with the biggest bang that’s ever hit this f—king show business,” she declared.Barr stands firm in her lack of remorse, attributing the backlash to misunderstandings about her tweet’s meaning.
