Roseanne Barr claimed on Thursday that she “begged” top ABC brass not to cancel her show, offering to go on an extended apology tour for her vile tweets.

But Barr’s pleas for mercy were rejected by Disney/ABC Television Group President Ben Sherwood who deemed the actress’ racist and anti-Semitic posts were beyond redemption, according to the “Roseanne” star.
