When ABCpulled the plugonRoseannethis weekover starRoseanne Barr‘s racist tweet, the show’s cast and crewsuddenly found themselves without a hit sitcom.
Barr previously apologized to the “wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet,” and now she’s expressing her regret over two costars in particular:John GoodmanandLaurie Metcalf.
“I just wish ABC had not thrown two of the greatest actors in the world out with me — Laurie and John,” Barr, 65, tweeted Wednesday night. “I’m so sick over this — they will never have better character actors on their network.”

Barr prompted the cancellation of her show earlier this week when she likened formerBarack ObamaadvisorValerie Jarrettto an “ape” in a since-deleted tweet.
She has sinceclaimed that she didn’t know Jarrett is black— and that she wason Ambienwhile tweeting.

Explaining that he would “rather say nothing than to cause more trouble,” Goodman, 65, assured fans that “everything’s fine” with him, adding that he’s not familiar with Twitter and had no comment on the controversy.
“I don’t know anything about it,” he said. “I don’t read it.”
TheBig Lebowskistar also shrugged off rumors thatRoseannewould no longer be eligible for Emmys. (Goodman won the award for outstanding guest actor in a drama series forStudio 60 on the Sunset Stripin 2007, but he never took home the trophy for his seven nominations for his role as Dan Conner.)
“I wasn’t gonna get an Emmy anyway,” he said. “I’ve been up there [10] times already, and if I didn’t get one, I’m not gonna get one.”
On Wednesday, a source told PEOPLE that Barr is“in deep darkness and is very remorseful”following the scandal.
“She’s not intentionally hurtful,” said the insider. “They all loved each other on theRoseanneset. It really was one big happy family.”
