Roseanne Barr, who famously clashed with Two and a Half Men co-creator/showrunner Chuck Lorre on her ABC sitcom Roseanne, chimed in on the turmoil surrounding Men star Charlie Sheen with 2 semi-coherent posts on her blog today, one titled Chuck Lorre’s Hit List and one Charlie Sheen makes Me Look Sane. Both include scathing insults about Lorre, with CBS and its chief Leslie Moonves also not spared.
“Me, Cybil S(hepherd), Brett Butler, Charlie Sheen (stars who lost big when working with Chuck)”
“I fired Chuck Lorre for being a big drunk on my show, and he went on to become one of tv’s most successful writers (about dick jokes).”
“I feel sorry for Charlie Sheen, (and Brett and Cybil, both of whom were often out in the parking lot screaming at Chuck and crying) who has to not only be the bi-polar wizard Charlie Sheen, but had to toil as a tool for Lorre Enterprises Inc. and … Julie Chen’s very old comedically incontent husband, Les, the power behind CBS, the network of choice for the dentally challenged.”
“Charlie, take a break dude. Go to Greece, Paris, China, look at great art and lay low. You got fired, dude. Anybody can do your job, really. Other guys are funny and not repulsive to intelligent women, though those shit Chuck Lorre lines could choke a fucking horse, and render any actor who recites them stone cold soul dead.”

Finally!
Score one for Roseanne!
Roseanne, you do realize you also have blood on your hands?
And since when are you relevant?
Her relevance reappeared the moment she got tiger blood on her hands.
Chuck Lorre may be the biggest jerk in the world, but isn’t it fair to say that Roseanne, Cybill, Bret and Charlie got their biggest paydays working on Lorre shows?
We have a WINNER, Dimes!
dimes and zeke… you obviously aren’t women.
“biggest paydays” don’t necessarily equate with some smack down coups. oh lord, no.
go talk to some trophy wives on the down low.
e
I was waiting and Roseanne did NOT disappoint!
Now – that’s WINNING!
At the end of the day, if you look at all of Lorre’s stars, they are just peas in a pod. They’re all degenerates.
This comment sounds like Chuck Lorre wrote it himself. He’s the creepy one. As an actress I’ve always been told to watch out for him. Never be alone with him. I was also told the same thing about his boss at WB and Fox.
Sounds like Lorre has a genuine pathology with the leads in his series. Coincidence? I think not.
I don’t have a horse in this race but if Chuck Lorre is so awful, how come the list of people (Cybil, Brett, herself) have done close to zero after their hit shows went off the air?
And all of them, Roseanne included, were well-known for their difficulty to work with and erratic behavior. Brett Butler most recently gave an interview about the situation acknowledging that her drug abuse led to the cancellation of her series. Cybil Sheppard has long been regarded as difficult, Roseanne bizarrely difficult.
Hey, Rosey, as talented as you are comedically, you’d still be touring outhouses in the far reaches of the USA if it hadn’t been for the devil incarnate, Mr. Lorre. As for Mr. Moonves, I have to agree as he cares about actors about as much as he cares about his morning dump. Sheen buried himself as do most actors who are in denial about their worth and, often, their lack of talent. However, in the case of Sheen, The Winner????, he lost and he lost to all the drugs who are the real winners and to all the pushers and enablers who will soon abandon the Sheen ship when the lights go out.
WELL PUT!
You go girl!
yay roseanne!
i wish you all had saved your cash and started something like the old united artists.
what happened to us all?
must us artists be dragged behind trucks to finally take charge of our own art and futures?
best thing was sheen getting fired. i’m praying he has enough in the coffee can in the backyard to produce his own thing when he gets back from the impending kick back of an artist’s high.
bi-polar? no way. THIS IS WHAT BEING ANY KIND OF ARTIST, WRITER, OR PERFORMER IS ABOUT. add a sense of humor and weekly suicidal thoughts are part of the cocktail.
y’all, hollywood’s starting to cull future stories from cavepaintings next.
rome is burning. stories abound, but they’ll inspire all out revolution i fear.
i’m still revolting over here, and i’m not gonna pee in my own neighborhood like Watts. nope.
latino market that everyone’s been trying to corner is getting closer to cornering everyone else because no one’s got any new ideas.

Get this woman back on TV. Now.
Have you seen what she looks like lately? Helicopter NO!
yo, zeke–why do all women have to also constantly be FXCKABLE ALL THE TIME?
she’s a COMEDIAN.
it’s impossible to be a constantly screwable woman over 18, interesting, and fabulously screwable without a coterie of hair stylists, makeup artists, a 12-pack of spanx, and a salon on retainer.
man, the misogyny in hollytown and all this is just making me writhe in fury.
zeke… how screwable, funny, fascinating, and interesting are you? do you have flat abs and are you always rock hard and ready to go? are you? because lorre’s got that opening. run and get it then come back and be bitchy here.
besos, baby.

–erika lopez in san francisco. i’m not hiding. here i am with my fat ass, and i can barely keep up with libya.
OK. I’ll say it. Three bat shit crazy posts. Erika, may I interest you in a nice warm glass of shut the fuck up?
She has a new reality series about life on her nut farm in Hawaii coming up for lifetime and I’m looking forward to it now.
Two and a half Men wasn’t a Lorre show, but a Sheen show. It was greenlit because Sheen said yes to do it. Lorre would have been a pussy licking boots in Hollwood if it wasn’t for Sheen.
Really? Charlie Sheen was slumming in another Scary Movie sequel when Chuck Lorre offered him the role. He was going nowhere.
As you’ve seen with his idiotic babbling that Charlie isn’t so funny when other people aren’t writing his dialogue.
Really? Does anybody really care about what Roseanne has to say?
The real problem is that Chuck won’t put up with diva-like behavior and attitude. Charlie, Cybil, Brett and especially Roseanne are big pain in the a$$es to work with and they literally believe that their sh*t doesn’t stink.
Well guess what Charlie, Cybil, Brett and Roseanne – your sh*t does stink. As well as your so-called “talent”.
Like Roseanne said herself, anybody can do that job (of a sitcom actor).
The real problem is that Chuck won’t put up with diva-like behavior and attitude
Lorre puts up with it until the performers self-destruct, one at a time… showing professional skills waaaaaay in excess of anything I could muster.
Does Roseanne really want to start this? I’ve heard dozens of independently corroborated horrible stories about her and the way she treated people on Roseanne.
The last year or so of Rosanne’s show was really, really bad. If she was fired, it was probably just putting her out of her misery.
This is an interesting point.
The last year of Roseanne was more or less a calculated insult to audience that had made Roseanne a multi-millionaire.
And, with Sheen, you get a whiff of the same vast contempt for the audience that has vastly enriched him (“How can you morons watch this sh*t?”) and made all of the prostate massages possible…
Roseanne sucks. Like the poster above points out, Brett, Roseanne and Cybill went on to absolutely nothing post-Lorre. Love the rockstar warlock Charlie, but add him to that list. Nobody was complaining while the checks were clearing.
Two failed reality attempts and a failed talk show. And another soon-to-be-failed reality show. You’re just lucky the bar for viewers on cable has gotten so low. A nut farm? Really? Shut up and go away, Roseanne.
Isn’t Rosanne considered one of the biggest monsters in H’Wood history? Probably why she’s sitting on a peanut farm now. Quite a dubious list of performers she’s mentioned having clashed with Lorrie, all of whom have terrible reps. Seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Let’s hear from someone who doesn’t have multiple personalities on this one.
it’s macadamia nut, not peanut. macadamia is much funnier.
Thanks Mr. B. Roseanne is no prize her damn self. I was around back in the late ’80s when she was on the wild. Wallowing around literally like a pig in mud for Vanity Fair, mauling the national anthem. Christina’s flub was nothing compared to Roseanne mangling it. And I always hated her white trash TV show.
Read the full blog posts. They are seriously bitter about everything. Didn’t she used to be a comedian?
Ranting about the past after your career is washed up. #winning
Lorre has been sober for a while now, so what he did on those shows in the past could have been a result of his drinking.
He had started an AA meeting specifically for Sheen and Sheen was attending for years.
Then he stopped and started doing meth.
So, yeah, bravo Rosanne. You really nailed this one.
Talk about a nut job calling the kettle black. Rosanne go back to sleep. Bret, Cybil, Charlie and Rosanne were losers before hooking up with Lorre. That’s a fact.
I said this before on an other entry here on this site that a friend of mine was a runner on Cybill’s show. He said she was actually really cool and good to all the crew. God knows what went on behind closed doors, but I am not surprised to see Roseanne come out and defend Charlie, Brett, Cybill etc.Seems like there is one person in common in all these dramas….
As for Chuck providing all of their biggest paydays? Charlie maybe. Roseanne’s show was already high in ratings and well on its way to syndication before Chuck Lorre arrived. Cybill’s show was successful enough, but she had bigger career highlights in Moonlighting, Taxi Driver and Last Picture Show I would have thought, way before her sitcom. I doubt she was poor before Chuck came along. Ditto Charlie Sheen.
anybody who has worked with Lorre knows what a jerk he is and a superiority complex he has. Roseanne may be off her rocker, but she’s telling the truth. He screams and belittles people constantly.
Is that up to date info? I thought the BBT set was fairly happy.
Les, the power behind CBS, the network of choice for the dentally challenged.”
How old is Roseanne? She is making fun of people her age.
CBS is not “dentally challenged”. Take a look Ms. Barr at the turnaround that the network has experienced under Mr. Moonves’ stewardship. The CSI franchise….Everybody Loves Raymond, Two and a Half Men, NCIS, Survivor, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother. Also, it seems shows that were approved by Mr. Moonves, rerun quite well. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the “Roseanne” show did not rerun nearly as well, and if you look at it now, it lacks “classic”. I’d take the writing of Chuck Lorre over what you wrote/oversaw during the latter years of your series…not to mention that of your ex husband Tom Arnold…and the one you were married to before him. You are irrelevant.
It’s pretty sick of her to publically slag off someone just because of petty grudges from the 80′s. Chuck, for all his faults has made alot of people rich and entertained many while Roseanne is an ugly relic from a forgotten era. If she was in anyway talented she’d still be working and popular like her co-star John Goodman. Call me when he gives his two cents. Though I imagine he’s too classy for that.
