said ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey. Roseanne later issued an apology and announced that she would be leaving Twitter, but the damage had already been done.
During an interview published by PEOPLE in 1991, Roseanne claimed that her parents, Jerome and Helen, abused her as a child.
To clear themselves of the allegations, her parents took lie detector tests to prove their innocence and passed, but it wasn't until 2011 that Roseanne retracted the accusations against her parents.
According to Roseanne, she had been unhappy and in therapy at the time and had "totally lost touch with reality" and "just wanted to drop a bomb on my family."
While Roseanne would have you know that she is a good singer, the crowd at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium on July 25, 1990, didn't agree.
The actress sang the National Anthem and got booed while even former President George H. W. Bush rebuked her efforts.
Roseanne blamed her stubbornness for the failed attempt because she didn't follow the advice Johnny Carson gave her only a few days before the singing disaster. "Whatever you do, don’t start too high. Robert Goulet started too high, and it was a disaster," Johnny advised.
Roseanne's attempt at mixing comedy into her performance added to the overall disaster of her performance, which many Americans saw as her mocking the country.
She grabbed her crotch and spat at the end of the terribly sung anthem, which altogether caused angry social media comments, and all of her projects canceled. The actress and her family had to get police protection and could hardly leave the house for almost a year.

The actress purchased a 50-acre macadamia nut farm on the outskirts of Hilo, Hawaii in 2007, and joins in with the harvesting of the nuts when she's not working.
While Roseanne "always knew she would wind up living on a nut farm," she also turned it into a reality show in 2011 that focused on her family farm life called "Roseanne's Nuts," which only lasted for one season.
Roseanne started a nonprofit in South Dakota called The Tipi Raisers at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The group lends a hand to American Indian tribes and focuses on educational activities that "bring together Native and non-Native people in a traditional and challenging manner."
Raised in Salt Lake City, Roseanne grew up in a population dense with Mormons, while only about 50 Jewish families lived in the community.

The outspoken comedian continued to rub netizens up the wrong way when she posted a bizarre video to her YouTube Channel in April 2019.
In the video, Roseanne shared her thoughts on an offensive term associated with being gay and proudly declared herself as "queer," while the public found her video clip rather offensive.
