Roseanne Barr went on a Twitter rant on Friday, calling out Hollywood, NBC, sexism and censorship.
The Mirror reports that the tweets might be about a sitcom Barr was trying to put together, something she hints might be off.
One tweet said, "Women who have achieved far less than me are allowed to write their own shows, bit I'm constantly forced 2 work w a censoring 'show runner." She continued, "Everything-every word I turned in to NBC and NBC studios was censored and thrown out-they wanted 'my brand' w/o me in it. Worse than matt w."
Another tweet indicated that the Roseanne star would never "work in television again." Barr felt she had been "insulted/assaulted for over a year."
Her rant continued where she mentioned Hollywood's racism and homophobia was even worse, then randomly turned her anger on CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper and calling him a "f---ing p---k."
Barr's Twitter rant follows just a few days after actress Evan Rachel Wood spoke out on the MPAA forcing the director of her new film Charlie Countryman to cut a scene depicting a man performing oral sex on a woman.
She blasted the decision as sexist and hypocritical because the MPAA "thought it necessary to censor a woman's sexuality once again." But "scenes in which people are murdered by having their heads blown off remained intact and unaltered."
Wood felt that it was sexist to not allow a movie to show just a woman being pleasured and not a man also being gratified during sex.
