Roseanne Barr spent her Thanksgiving this year backtracking from a joke most Twitter followers believe went way too far. Late Wednesday night, the comedian posted a photo of her swollen/ravaged face online, quipping that she just “got in a tussle w bill cosby” and “U shoyld see that mfer.” The former sitcom star later deleted the picture and the caption and explained that the following image was due to a “chemical peel” she got to “look more sexier.” Barr, of course, was originally joking about the ongoing Bill Cosby scandal in which that legendary actor finds himself at the center of numerous sexual assault allegations. Multiple women have come forward over the past few weeks and accused Cosby of drugging them and raping them, with most alleged cases having taken place in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Most recently, celebrities such as Michelle Hurd and Janice Dickinson have joined the long list of accusers. Cosby has remained awkwardly mum on the issue (below), while his attorney has released a handful of statement that deny all allegations made against his client.

Roseanne adds that this situation “is the best and the worst thing. It’s horrible when you peel back the curtain and see what’s behind it, but it’s so great that people now have the capacity to actually look at the truth and see how it adds up.” What do you think of her Twitter picture and joke? Did she go way too far in mocking Cosby, along with violence against women in general? Or is everything now fair game when it comes to Bill Cosby? Bill Cosby Memes Gone Horribly Awry 1.
