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.

'Roseanne' Reboot There's One Big Hang-Up ... Roseanne!!!

ABC is still all-in on moving forward with a second "Roseanne" reboot -- this one revolving around Sara Gilbert's character -- but there's a major issue to resolve ... ownership.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ ... because Roseanne Barr created the show with the original executive producers, she has a financial stake in it and its characters. It's unclear which specific ones she created, but we're told the network is doing its due diligence to avoid a lawsuit.

It's very possible, we're told, that Roseanne could put her foot down and say there will be no revamped reboot unless she gets a piece of the pie. However, if she's making dough off the new version, it defeats the purpose of canceling the show after her racist comment.

We broke the story ... ABC execs kicked negotiations into high gear earlier this week in hopes of announcing the new show ASAP, but now we know -- there's more work to do
