ABC Entertainment canceled the reboot of "Roseanne," after the show's star, Roseanne Barr, said on Twitter that former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett looked like a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes.”

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

Early in the morning Tuesday, Barr tweeted, “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” in response to another user’s claim that suggested Jarrett helped former President Barack Obama hide secrets.

Barr later apologized, calling the remark a “bad joke."

“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,” Roseanne tweeted. “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.”

Barr also said she was "leaving" Twitter.

Barr is an outspoken Trump supporter and voted for him in 2016. On her show, which was a reboot of her 1990s TV sitcom, she portrayed a Trump supporter

Following the inflammatory tweets, Roseanne's fellow cast members took to Twitter to condemn her "racist and distasteful" remarks.

"I am hurt, embarrassed, and disappointed. The racist and distasteful comments from Roseanne are inexcusable," Emma Kenney, who portrays Roseanne's granddaughter, Harris Conner, tweeted.
