Jimeoin brands Roseanne 'unhinged' and says she's 'on drugs'
Australian comedian Jimeoin has branded disgraced actress Roseanne Barr 'an absolute b***h' in the wake of her racist tweet.
Roseanne has been widely condemned since she said former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett looked like a cross between the 'Muslim brotherhood and Planet of the Apes'.
And on Thursday, Jimeoin joined the slew of celebrities criticising Barr's comment as he described her as 'unhinged'.

'They must have been strong drugs she was on, or she's an absolute b**h, one of the two,' Jimeoin told Confidential.
'Unhinged is the word that comes to mind. She's on drugs. I sometimes do that. Do you ever tweet when you've been drinking?
Jimeoin, 52, added that he doesn't feel sorry for Barr, who has been vehemently trying to defend herself on Twitter since the scandal broke.
'I think that is the price you pay. I feel sorry for the people she offended more than her to be honest,' the Irish-Australian comic said.

ABC cancelled Barr's show on Tuesday after she wrote the racist tweet
While Barr initially apologized for her comments, she then started retweeting several supporters who believe she was singled out for being a Trump supporter.
It comes after Whoopi Goldberg had a strong message for Roseanne Barr on Wednesday, after the disgraced actress retweeted a doctored photo of her.

Among the many tweets that she reposted was a message from a user named Jamie who shared a photo of Goldberg wearing a shirt at the Women's March, showing President Trump shooting himself in the head.
'Out of curiosity @ABC & @Disney this is okay with you? Hypocrisy on the Left is sickening. Your pathetic! #BoycottABC #IStandWithRoseanne,' Jamie wrote.
But the issue is - the photo was fake.
On The View on Wednesday, Goldberg explained that 'some bonehead photoshopped a horrific image on the shirt'. The shirt she actually wore had a much more PG-13 message on it, reading: 'And you thought I was a nasty woman before? Buckle up, Buttercup'.
Oh dear: After her show was cancelled on Tuesday over a racist tweet, Roseanne started retweeting supporters' messages claiming she was fired because she's a Trump supporter. This supporter shared an image of Whoopi wearing a t-shirt showing Trump killing himself
After explaining this, Goldberg said she had a message for Roseanne.
'Just because you were caught with your pants down, don't try to drag other people down with you. That's it, don't do that,' she wrote.
Later, she added: 'The bottom line is simple, I didn't fake my shirt. Someone else faked my shirt. But that's your tweet. That tweet came from you. So that's yours, you did this to yourself.'
Barr appears to have deleted the tweet but has continued to retweet other messages from followers, defending her actions.
Among the many retweets are several messages criticizing Goldberg's View co-host Joy Behar, for calling Christians who believe they can speak to Jesus 'mentally ill'.
