Roseanne "seriously considering" forgoing profits from potential spinoff

We’re told Barr is now open to cutting herself out of a spinoff entirely.

A source close to the disgraced comic — who says she is “hunkered down” with her parents in Utah — tells us, “Roseanne feels so bad about her antics she is trying to figure out a way to help people harmed by the cancellation. She’s considering giving up financial and creative participation in a spinoff so the people she loves can have jobs. Barr holding on is a stumbling block.”
