And I Thought That It Was Because She Was Stupid, Ugly And Talentless

Rosanne Barr claims that she's been blacklisted by Hollywood for her progressive politics.
The Green Party candidate for the Oval Office told Politicker.com her new show "Downwardly Mobile" tested well but got shelved because her views were too divisive.

“How they figure what is polarizing is blows my mind. It really has blown my mind,” she said. “I guess it went back to the sponsors on the East Coast and some of them are—they don’t like me no matter what I do and they don’t like the things I say, so it’s kind of like blacklisting or something. But the fact is that I still think it’s weird to blacklist, or whatever you want to call it, in Hollywood, someone who has a huge—whose show had a huge audience and still does after 20-something years.”


Barr later tells the outlet that NBC may still use the series as a midseason replacement - the blackist didn't last long, apparently.
