Michael Fishman, who played D.J. Conner on the original Roseanne and the now-cancelled ABC revival, says he’s “devastated” by star Roseanne Barr’s racist Twitter tirade and the series’ subsequent cancellation.
The actor concluded his message by reminding everyone to “stand up against bias, hatred, bigotry and ignorance to make society a better place for all.”
The actor went on to express his distaste for Barr’s behavior.
“I feel devastated, not for the end of the Roseanne show, but for all those who poured their hearts and souls into our jobs, and the audience that welcomed us into their homes,” Fishman wrote in a note posted on Twitter.
