In a new interview onRabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast, Barr, 65, revealed she’s already “been offered so many things” since she posted a racist tweet that led to theRoseannereboot’s cancelation.
“I might do it,” she added, without providing any further details about what the project entailed. “But we’ll see.”

On May 29, ABC canceledRoseanneafter Barr, who starred as wife and mother Roseanne Conner, shared (and then deleted) a tweet comparing formerBarack ObamaadvisorValerie Jarrett, who is black, to an ape.
Barr later tweeted that she “mistakenly thought [Jarrett] was white.”
ABC has sincegreenlit aRoseannespinoff, without Barr.
Barr also told Boteach that she didn’t ask for any money when signing away the rights toRoseanne, believing the action “was a penance.”
“I thought signing off of my own life’s work and asking for nothing in return, I thought that was a penance,” she explained.
“I just knew that was the right thing and I want to do the right thing because I’ve lived my life, most part of it, to do the right thing for all people, not just Jews,” she continued.
Barr admitted that while she has yet to apologize privately to Jarrett, she has been “praying for the right words.”

In Barr’s first interview with Boteach, which was released earlier in June, she broke down in tears about the racist tweet.
“I don’t want to run off and blather on with excuses, but I apologize to anyone who thought, or felt offended and who thought that I meant something that I, in fact, did not mean. It was my own ignorance, and there’s no excuse for that ignorance,” she continued.
Becoming tearful, she added, “I definitely feel remorse.”
“I ask people if you look at my tweet don’t defend me. I’ve done something egregious and I don’t want to be defended. I don’t want to get any more racism going from what I did, I don’t want that. I don’t want to be defended” she explained.
