It’s a win-win for them. Gives them some positive publicity and gets rid of a deadwood show, albeit one they could have turned into something had they aired it day&date with the US.
I wonder if there will be any recourse Ten could take with ABC given they have paid for content they can’t use.
What a load of balderdash. How a simple tweet can end up with such massive repercussions is totally out of whack. No sense by ABC.
Ten just jumping on a bandwagon. Criticism… so what. It is not right that a tweet with no swearing, nothing overly crazy than just a stupid comment can cause all this. Sick of the overreactions!!!
It is not “extreme”. Just a bad off the cuff remark. The way it should have ran, she’ll be criticised, she’d be forced to apologise because it was stupid (nothing more) then eventually the issue would have died off.
This was bound to happen very quickly. Roseanne’s Twitter has had far worse than this in the past, like I said when it was first announced it was mind blowing that ABC would take such a risk because based on her Twitter posts in recent years, she’s not just a trump supporter (which would be perfectly fine) but also a crazy conspiracy theorist and she has made some truly insane Twitter posts.
Looking forward to her debut on something like Infowars in the future.
Exactly mate, it’s 2018 not 1978. We’re supposed to have higher standards in society. If someone has to swear all the time, there’s probably something wrong with them.
It’s sad how Australians have trouble seeing racism, it happens every time, the Hey Hey incident, Adam Goodes/Eddie. We are blind to prejudice when it doesn’t effect us.
Certain descriptive language with racist connotations is always going to be off limits (especially in the US), no questions asked. She would have known this signing with a network for this season and I have no doubt her contract would mention that if she fucks up once on social media she’s out the door.
She is entitled to freedom of speech but good on ABC for standing up for their core values and not allowing these sorts of racists to get away with making such horrific comments. About bloody time!
