In an unsettling clip, Roseanne Barr is shown to be distressed and agitated as she talks with an off-camera producer.
The comedienne appears to reference her since-deleted tweet in which she likened Valerie Jarrett, an African-American advisor to former President Obama, to an “ape.”
“I’m trying to talk about Iran! I’m trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett about the Iran deal. That’s what my tweet was about,” Barr shrieks.
“I thought the bitch was white!” she says with growing intensity. “Goddamnit, I thought the bitch was white. Fuck!”
This is something. Watch below.

Earlier this month, Barr had announced she would sit for a TV interview to explain her thinking behind the unraveling of her hit sitcom after making racist tweets about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

A day later, she reversed herself: “After a lot of thought, I decided that I won’t be doing any TV interviews, too stressful & untrustworthy 4 me & my fans. I’m going to film it myself & post it on my youtube channel in the next week-the entire explanation of what happened & why! I love you all-sign up & get ready.
