Furious Roseanne Barr claims she was asked to appear on ‘The Conners’ — as ‘a ghost’

The ghost from ABC’s past.
In her new documentary “Roseanne Barr is America,” Roseanne Barr claimed that she turned down an offer to appear on “The Conners” after the “Roseanne” revival was canceled.
“They called me and asked me if I would like to come back as a guest star. You’re coming back as a ghost,” Barr, 72, said in the doc directed by Joel Gilbert, per People.
The comedian continued, “You’re asking me to come back to the show that you f—ing stole from me and killed my ass, and now you want me to show up because you got shit f—ing ratings and play a ghost.”
Barr said that her excuse to decline the invite was: “I’m gonna be bowling that f—ing week.”
The Post has reached out to ABC for comment.
Barr co-created and starred in “Roseanne,” which aired from 1988 to 1997 and captured life in a middle-class household with conservative-leaning views.
ABC revived the series in 2018 with Barr returning as the titular character.
Despite massive ratings, the show was cancelled after one season following Barr’s racist tweet about former President Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.
At the time, former ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey condemned her tweet as “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”
Barr has since claimed that God told her to send the offensive message and that ABC was spying on her and were trying to censor her because of her support for Donald Trump before she was fired.
After “Roseanne” was axed, ABC reimagined the series as a spinoff called “The Conners” starring “Rosanne” regulars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson.
The creators of “The Conners” killed off Barr’s iconic character by claiming she died from an accidental opioid overdose.
“Within three weeks, they revived the show as ‘The Conners,’ and of course they killed off my character Roseanne in an opioid overdose,” Barr reportedly said in her documentary. “Which was staggering because Glenn Quinn, who played Becky’s husband, actually died of an opioid overdose.”
“The Conners” wrapped up in April after seven seasons.
During the series finale, Dan (Goodman) attended a deposition regarding the family’s wrongful death lawsuit against Big Pharma for Roseanne’s death. Later on, Dan, Darlene (Gilbert), Becky (Goranson) and Jackie (Metcalf) spoke to Roseanne’s grave.
Executive producer and showrunner Bruce Helford told The Post in April they were “nervous” to invoke Barr in the final episode.
“I have to say, I was a little nervous, because there was so much backlash about her not being on the show,” Helford said.
Exec producer Dave Caplan added that not talking about Barr in the spinoff would have felt “really wrong, and really shortchanging the audience.”
