 “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” a beloved 2005 film, is heading to Broadway thanks to Blue Spruce Productions (“Fun Home,” “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” and “The Humans”). 
 
 The coming-of-age film, based on Ann Brashares’ young-adult novels, followed the lives of four teenagers who find a pair of jeans that magically fits all of their varying body types. They each get a week with the pants in hopes that the same luck rubs off on all of them. 

 Despite having faced a multitude of criticism and condemnation throughout her career, Roseanne Barr is still haunted by the tweet that brought her show's revival to a screeching halt. In a short, but rather to the point YouTube video released Friday, a visibly agitated Barr defended her Valerie Jarrett tweet by screaming six words into the camera: "I thought the b*tch was white!" 
 
 "I'm trying to talk about Iran!" a frustrated Barr shouts at a producer offscreen after taking a drag on a cigarette. "I'm trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett wrote the Iran deal. That's what my tweet was about." 
 
 "I thought the b*tch was white, godd*mmit!" the comedian screams in the roughly 60-second long video. "I thought the b*tch was white. F*ck!" 
 
 Barr's latest attempt to explain away her tweet comes nearly two months after ABC canceled their revival of Roseanne, claiming her tweet about Jarrett was "abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values." In May, Barr tweeted that Jarrett, a senior adviser of former President Barack Obama who also happens to be an African-American woman, would be the result if the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby. 
 
 The tweet, which has since been deleted, was widely criticized as racist and sparked heavy criticism from Barr's co-stars, fans, and critics.

 Initially, Barr claimed she'd been under the influence of the sedative Ambien when she'd written the tweet. She later said she'd been misunderstood and that her tweet was really about anti-Semitism. "I've never practiced 'RACISM' in my entire life," she tweeted in June. "Rod Serling wrote Planet of The Apes. It was about anti-semitism. That is what my tweet referred to — the anti semitism of the Iran deal. Low IQ ppl can think whatever they want." 
 
 She reiterated her use of Ambien in an interview with Rabbi Shmuly Boteach conducted over the phone shortly after she'd been fired by ABC. "That's no excuse, but that is what was real," the comedian said after claiming she'd written the tweet at 2 a.m. on Ambien. "There's no excuse. I don't excuse it. It's an explanation. I was impaired, you know?" 
 
 In that same interview, Barr also told Boteach that she thought Jarrett was white. "I did not know she was a black woman," she said. "When ABC called me and said, 'what is the reason for your egregious racism,' I said, 'Oh my God, it is a form of racism.' I guess I didn't know she was black and I'll cop to it, but I thought she was white." 
 
 "I'm not a racist, I'm an idiot," Barr said. 
 
 Barr's YouTube video dropped 10 days after the star told fans she would — and then wouldn't — do a TV interview. "I decided that I won't be doing any TV interviews, too stressful and untrustworthy 4 me & my fans," the actress tweeted July 10, a day after claiming she'd be doing a TV interview. "I'm going to film it myself & post it on my youtube [sic] channel... the entire explanation of what happened & why!" Barr said she wanted to "speak directly" to her fans "and cut out any middlemen." 
 
 ABC has since said it will continue on without Barr, turning its Roseanne revival into The Conners. 

 Roseanne Barr appeared extremely frustrated when asked about Valerie Jarrett in a bizarre new video posted to the comedian's YouTube channel. 
 
 
 
 The former "Roseanne" star shared a video of herself looking disheveled, smoking a cigarette and becoming increasingly upset while being interviewed by someone off camera. 
 
 "I'm trying to talk about Iran!" Barr said in the video. "I'm trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett wrote the Iran deal!" 
 
 "I know," the interviewer replied. "You've told me this 300 times." 
 
 "That's what my tweet was about!" screamed Barr. 
 
 "I know," the interviewer said. "You've explained this literally 300 times." 
 
 "I thought the bitch was white!" Barr yelled at the top of her lungs. "God dammit! I thought the bitch was white! F--k!" 
 
 WARNING: The following video contains explicit language 
 
 The 65-year-old offered no explanation for the video but in a July 12 tweet she said she wanted to "speak directly" to her fans and "cut out any middlemen who use for clickbait/ad revenue while seeking to divide rather than unite." She said on Twitter she would film an interview with herself after canceling a TV interview calling the media "distrustful." 
 
 She provided an email address to contact her and said she "will post answers to my YouTube channel next week." 
 
 But her son Jake told TMZ the video is a promo for her upcoming self-produced talk show. 
 
 Barr's tweet in May about Jarrett led ABC to cancel her hit sitcom "Roseanne." Barr sent a racially charged tweet saying Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, is like the "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby." 
 
 She later apologized to Jarrett and blamed the insensitive tweet on Ambien. 
 
 In late June, Barr told Rabbi Shmuley Boteach her tweets "didn’t mean what they think I meant." 
 
 "But I have to face that it hurt people. When you hurt people even unwillingly there’s no excuse. I don’t want to run off and blather on with excuses. But I apologize to anyone who thought, or felt offended and who thought that I meant something that I, in fact, did no mean. It was my own ignorance, and there’s no excuse for that ignorance," she said. 
 
 "I’ve lost everything," Barr added. "And I regretted it before I lost everything." 
 
 ABC announced last month a "Roseanne" spinoff about the Conner family will air in the fall sans Barr.
– Roseanne Barr resurfaced with a jarring video Friday in which she screams, "I thought the b---- was white!" in reference to her infamous Valerie Jarrett tweet. Now TMZ reports that we can expect a lot more of Roseanne, and largely unfiltered. Son Jake Pentland tells the website that his mom has been shooting all kinds of interviews with friends and family members that will eventually be posted to her YouTube channel. The idea is to let her speak freely without network interference. Pentland also adds a bit of context to Friday's video, saying the clip was genuine—if his mom sounded tired and frazzled, it was because she'd been in the studio for hours at that point. "Bizarre" is a common word being used to describe it.
