We're not sure this is the time for Roseanne Barr to start blaming people for things. But in a series of retweets from fans regarding the cancellation of her hit show Roseanne after she shared a racist tweet, the actress is seemingly agreeing with the fact that Michelle Obama could be the reason for the sitcom's reboot ending.

Roseanne's racist tweet was about one of Michelle's husband Barack Obama's former aides, Valerie Jarrett, and over the past two days, Roseanne acknolwedged two tweets from fans who were against the former First Lady in this situation. "BREAKING: According to sources ABC President Channing Dungey had a long conversation via phone with former First Lady Michelle Obama before deciding to cancel the Roseanne show. Michelle Obama was reportedly enraged and insisted an apology was inadequate… developing," one tweet read.

Another read, "Interesting. A few days after the popular #ObamasNetflixShows was all over the place making people giggle. Not surprised and I would not doubt it being very true." Roseanne then replied to with the question, "Is this true?"

Since Roseanne's racist tweet on Tuesday, May 29, that read, "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj," she's been apologizing on Twitter over and over again to fans.

"I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste," she wrote in one tweet.

She continued in another, "I’m not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me."

Another apology tweet read, "Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!! I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people,and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet," she wrote. "Guys I did something unforgivable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — I went [too] far and do not want it defended. It was egregious Indefensible [sic]. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but… don’t defend it please." We're curious to see how all of this turns out…
