Barr's comments took a shocking turn when she mentioned the Holocaust, using its denial as a means to support her argument against what she called "mandated truths." She explained:

"Nobody wants to hear the real truth. There’s such a thing as the truth and facts and we have to stick to it.”

In defense her son, Jake Pentland on Tuesday told TMZ:

"We are embarrassed that people are stupid enough not to recognize Roseanne is being sarcastic. We think it's funny that people are so stupid. Let's stop doing this clickbait s**t, we need to focus on big problems in America. Focusing on out-of-context clips is what morons do."

Roseanne Barr gained fame as a renowned comedian and was given her own show, "Roseanne," in 1988. The program enjoyed immense success on ABC, running for a decade before a brief revival in 2018.

However, the network made the decision to cancel the show in May of the same year due to Barr's racially insensitive post about a Black political advisor and her endorsement of conspiracy theories like QAnon and Pizzagate.

Barr in response to all the hatred received says she will address it on her upcoming episode of The Roseanne Barr podcast on Thursday.
