No it isn't. It's ending a collaboration with an artist because they're bringing the brand bad publicity.

She's a self employed actress, producer and writer and a network have cancelled their contract with her for good reason. That's on her.

Isn't any publicity good publicity? Publicity being the key word there.

They fired her for her politics.

No. Racism aint going to bring anything good.

If she was fired for her politics, her programme would never have made it to air in the first place.

Why is Jimmy Kimmel still employed then? People have complained about him using Blackface, and he refused to apologies for it.

He's good at bashing Trump though, so that might be a reason, you think?

I don't know anything about that so I can't comment.

But she's been a big Trump supporter for years and even incorporated that into her sitcom, which they happily revived for her and renewed for another season after just 1 or 2 episodes had aired. So, to suggest she's now being fired for that is actually kind of laughable.

Seeing as she's now been publically flogged, that could have just been a profitable ploy.

They gain a successful show to boost their ratings, and as soon as Roseanne says something a bit risqué, we can pin a racist label on her. "Look everyone, Trump supporters are all racist" It's win win.

That makes no sense. But you do you.

I don't know that they even thought her show would be successful even... maybe some initial high ratings due to nostalgia, but a drop off after a point.
