Roseanne Barr claims she rejected offer to return as a ghost on 'The Conners' after firing

In her documentary, "Roseanne Barr is America," the comedian explained why she turned down an alleged offer to return to "The Conners" as a ghost after she was fired from the show in 2018.

"They called me and asked me if I would like to come back as a guest star. You're coming back as a ghost," Barr said in the documentary. "You're asking me to come back to the show that you f---ing stole from me and killed my a--, and now you want me to show up because you got s--- f---ing ratings and play a ghost?"

Barr said she immediately turned down the offer. 

"I'm gonna be bowling that f---ing week," she recalled saying. 

Barr disputed the claims and apologized for making a "bad joke."

Because the reboot was successful, the network made the decision to change the title from "Roseanne" to "The Conners," and Barr's disappearance was explained by an off-screen death.

After the tweet scandal, Barr sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Barr said that she doesn't keep in touch with her former co-stars.

"And I was sorry they f---ed it all up with their greed and ridiculous stupidity to f--- all that up. F--- them, but I wish them well," she said.

In her new documentary, Barr "recounts the untold story of her unusual upbringing and her extraordinarily successful career in comedy and television," according to a press release. 

Barr told Fox News Digital that her life is a representation of the American experience.
