CELEBRITY Roseanne

Roseanne Barr, the star of 'Roseanne,' is back in the headlines for her actions on social media. Targeting Valerie Jarett, a former Obama adviser, Barr took to Twitter to reference Islam, in combination with this offensive comment on the politician's appearance.

Barr wrote, "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj"



Another Twitter user was quick to point out that this is not the first comment of this kind from Barr. He shared a screenshot of a tweet that was posted in December of 2013, targeted at Susan Rice, the former US National Security Adviser. The user wrote, "Here's Roseanne Barr attacking Susan Rice -- it seems to be a pattern with her."



After waves of backlash online, Barr has officially written that she will be leaving the platform. The actor said, "I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter."



Only time and multiple page refreshes will tell if Roseanne Barr will follow through with this announcement.
