"I regret it horribly, you joke, I lost everything and I regretted it before losing everything," she continues. "And I said to God," I am willing to accept all the consequences that this entails because I know that I have done wrong, I will accept what the consequences are ", and I do it, and I did it. "

Barr added, "And I made myself a magnet of hatred, and as a Jew, it's just awful." It's horrible. "

Barr's tweet, which has since been deleted, revealed that Valerie Jarrett, who is African-American, was a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the "Planet of the Apes" – "The Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby = vj "She apologized to Jarrett the same day with the casting of her ABC reboot canceled," Roseanne ".

The comedian revealed during the interview that ABC asked him to leave Twitter after the incident if they were to continue working with her and she refused. She also repeated a claim that she was on the Ambien sleep medication when she pulled the tweet.

Barr also revealed that she did not realize that Jarrett was African-American.

"I thought she was white," Barr said during the 35-minute conversation with Rabbi Boteach. "I did not know that she was black and I am for nothing."

Barr added crying, "I have black children in my family, I can not, I can not let them say these things about it, after 30 years of my life and my life and my life at risk to defend people. "

"I have a lot of things, a strong mouth and all that, but I'm not stupid, for the sake of God," she says. "I would never have knowingly called a black person, [I would never had said] they are a monkey. I would not do that. I did not do that. "

Barr said that even if she feels misunderstood, she apologizes and feels remorse.

"But I have to face that it hurts people," she said. "When you hurt people, even involuntarily, there is no excuse, I do not want to run away with excuses, but I apologize to all those who thought or felt offended and thought that I wanted to say something that I did not want to say, it was my own ignorance, and there is no excuse for this ignorance.

"You must feel remorse, not just repentance," Barr continued. "You must take an action in the world – whether by money or other things – to correct your sin." After your heart is thawed and it stops being broken by the pain you have caused to others, you stop being a robot. you have to come back to God, so it's remorse and I really have remorse.

ABC, meanwhile, announced this week that he will launch a spinoff of "Roseanne" called "The Connors" without Barr but with the rest of the cast. The show should begin in the fall.
