Roseanne Barr appeared to put her grudges to the side as The Connors – the spinoff of the ABC show she was ousted from seven years back – came to a close this week.
Roseanne’s son and rep Jake Pentland, Roseanne’s son and rep told TMZ that the TV star and her family ‘are still glad The Conners crew got seven solid seasons of work out of the show she built’ following her acrimonious exit in 2018.
Roseanne, 72, never watched the rebooted show, Pentland told TMZ, and was not aware it had been finishing.
Roseanne’s time on her highly-rated reboot came to a swift end in May of 2018 when she sent a tweet with a racial slur against Valerie Jarrett, a former advisor for ex-First Lady Michelle Obama.
She has kept a relatively-low profile over the past seven years in the wake of her ABC show’s reboot being canceled following a major controversy over the tweet she sent.
Dailymail.com has reached out to Roseanne and Pentland via Instagram, and her agent via email, for further comment on this story.

At the time, Roseanne said Jarrett, a one-time aide to Michelle Obama, was the offspring of the ‘Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes’ – words that led to her near-immediate ouster from the lucrative TV show, which had been at the top of the ratings in its comeback to the air earlier that year.
ABC condemned Roseanne’s tweet as ‘abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values’ in announcing her dismissal from the show.
Roseanne subsequently said that she was under the influence of Ambien and was unaware that Jarrett is Black.
The Conners supplanted Roseanne after Roseanne Barr’s May 2018 firing from the show.
Sara Gilbert, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson all continued to appear on the series in their characters.
Roseanne’s character was killed off in the storyline of the series via a drug overdose.
The rebooted show ended with John Goodman getting a settlement over his storyline spouse’s passing, then visiting her grave with the family.
The show said in an Instagram post Wednesday: ‘To the family that has always been there for us through the good times and the bad, thank you to #TheConners. Relive the whole series, now streaming on Hulu.‘

Jarrett in May of 2018 said Disney CEO Bob Iger personally contacted her with an apology over the uncomfortable situation.
‘He wanted me to know before he made it public that he was canceling the show,’ Jarrett said in an MSNBC townhall called ‘Everyday Racism in America’ that aired in May of 2018.
She added, ‘First of all, I think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. I’m fine. I’m worried about all the people out there who don’t have a circle of friends and followers coming to their defense.
‘The person walking down the street minding their own business and they see someone clinging to their purse or walk across the street… or every Black parent I know who has a boy who has to sit down and have a conversation, the talk as we call it.’
Jarrett said that ‘those ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day.’
Roseanne recently made headlines in declaring that she had been ostracized from President Donald Trump’s inner circle despite providing the Commander-in-Chief with decades of loyal support.
‘I’m on my own baby, I’m above all that s**t,’ she said this past February after Trump shunned her to appoint Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and scandal-ridden Mel Gibson in the role of Special Ambassadors to represent Hollywood.
She told Variety, ‘I’m not a party line person for anyone or anything except myself. The Trump staff or whoever runs it, they’re a little afraid of me. I am a loudmouth comedian, so I understand it.’
