Roseanne Returns to Twitter with Massive Overnight Tweet Storm

Roseanne Barr returned to Twitter with a vengeance Wednesday posting more than 100 times just hours after her hit sitcom "Roseanne" was canceled amid a controversy over a series of racist tweets sent by the comedian. 

Barr blamed her late-night tirade on Ambien, posting in a now-deleted tweet, "guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting -- it was memorial day too -- i went 2 far & do not want it defended -- it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn't but...don't defend it please."

However, the company that makes Ambien, Sanofi, wasn't about to allow their medication be blamed for Roseanne's late night Twitter rant. The company issued a statement so full of shade it could have been used as a beach umbrella, making it clear that the comedian's problems were her own.

"While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication," the statement said. 

All told, Barr posted more than a hundred times in a Tweet storm that lasted all night, with her posts going back and forth between apologizing for her actions and retweeting memes and fans that portrayed her as the victim of a liberal media conspiracy.

The references to Ambien later disappeared from Roseanne's account, but the damage was done. Ambien became the #1 trending topic as Twitter mocked the comedian for her explanation. 

At one point during her Tweet storm, Barr insinuated that she was fired for her support of President Trump with one of the posts she retweeted saying "they brought the show back so they could inevitably cancel the show when she said something they didn't like." 

In another one of Barr's now deleted tweets, she said, "I'm sorry 4 my tweet, AND I will also defend myself as well as talk to my followers. so, go away if u don't like it. I will handle my sadness the way I want to. I'm tired of being attacked & belittled more than other comedians who have said worse."

The controversy began after Barr tweeted about former Barack Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett. In response to a comment made about Jarrett, Barr had wrote in a now-deleted Tweet that "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." 

One of Roseanne's retweets Wednesday included photos of Valerie Jarrett side-by-side with an ape. 

The comedian also continued tweeting about conspiracies about George Soros, a liberal donor who she falsely accused of collaborating with Nazis. 

Soros was nine-years-old when World War II broke out. 

In the end, it seems that Roseanne considers her firing the best thing for all parties. In one tweet, Barr said her firing "worked out" because she would have left anyway when they (the network) "started to try to censor me." 

"i think i know what really happened. It has made me mad, but as I told u-i would leave when they started to try to censor me, so it all worked out"
