Roseanne Barr Interviewed Following Controversial S.E. Cupp Comments: ‘You Attack Women’s Rights, You Are Attacked’

Joe Pags Pagliarulo Interviews Roseanne Barr Following Controversial S.E. Cupp Tweets

(Photo: AP)

Following Hustler’s explicit, photo-shopped depiction of commentator S.E. Cupp seemingly performing oral sex, Roseanne Barr chose not to condemn the misogynists who created the image– but rather, the women who came to S.E. Cupp’s defense.

“Your defense of women who hate women is more disgusting than putting pics of penises in their mouths, excuse me!” she tweeted, after Ms. Magazine co-founders Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan chose to stand behind Cupp.

(Related: Fake Explicit Image of S.E. Cupp Appears in Hustler)

After Morgan responded over Twitter, saying she was not defending S.E. Cupp’s “atrocious” politics, but rather, standing up for a fellow woman, Barr unleashed a fury of related tweets:

“…defending the indefensible [S.E. Cupp and her politics] is not a common sense thing-it leads to lemming-like thought patterns [in my opinion]”

“…when a woman who works to dispossess women is attacked- i dont think we should come 2 her aid”

“@secupp what goes around seems to come around.”

“sometimes feminist spokeswomen are pro-censorship, and that wont work in America. Supporting woman haters ‘rights’ backfires on them.”

Some of her tweets are certainly more intelligible than others, but the meaning is quite apparent: S.E. Cupp somehow deserved to be foully targeted because of her politics.

But now, the candidate is seemingly moderating her tone, if not revising her thesis altogether.

Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo recently interviewed Barr about the controversial comments, and it is difficult to tell whether she still believes Cupp somehow “deserved” it, or whether it’s just shameful what transpired:

“If you’re going to take one side of a polarizing issue,” the former comedienne said, “expect the other side to [hit] hard,” as though that is what she meant.

After Joe ‘Pags’ pointed out that Barr was seemingly changing her tune, the woman delved into a discussion about taking care of real issues in the world, rather than “polarizing” issues.

“Should like, some women, just keep like griping about it, and griping about it?” she asked.

“So all this polarizing back-and-forth and self-righteous huffing and puffing is so that the American people can be pulled off their game and not be able to ever hear what the real issue that needs debate is about, and it‘s about women’s healthcare…”

    Roseanne has dug her own Hollywood grave. She may get hired by places like ABC, but I think most people are like me — they’ve become to disgusted by her politics AND personallity, I’ll no longer watch anything she does, OR buy DVD’s or products that involve her. I had really enjoyed the “Roseanne” series, but I’m so DISGUSTED by her, I can’t watch it again — it’s like hearing Obama or Pelosi speak. And I can‘t in good conscious purchase DVD’s of the series.

    I wouldn’t even want her stuff for free.

      THARPDEVENPORT, I agree. She has openly admitted to being a Socialist. Many in Hollywood have. I watch simple programs any more. The history channel has some good ones and then there Is Duck Dynasty on A&E.. I no longer go to movies or rent them. People like her have found loop holes to hide their money. They forget where they came from and the people that they want to destroy that put them where they are now. Their anti-American agendas sicken me. Her choice of words her demeanor and her personality in general are disgusting. I do not hate her but I can not watch her or listen to her, and I certainly will not help fill her pockets by supporting her in any way.

At least the magazine staff had the dignity to realize that regardless of politics, Ms. Cupp had been exploited. It was clear that Barr didn’t even have that much empathy.

Where are the men’s issues? Granted prostate cancer is hush hush-big guys don’t like to talk about “their stuff”, but men have seperate issues too, and nobody marches and raises hell for them, even though men are more likely to have that problen with cancer, than women are with some of their stuff. No banners, no hot debates, they just do what they have to do so they can live and take care of their families. Talk about inequality. Why don’t we talk about curing everyone with enough research for both genders. As for “big mouthed her nastiness”, she has nothing relevant to add to any story. Enough about the whole made up stupidness. Sorry S.E., that there are so many icky people in the world who can’t defend their point so they resort to trashing people in ugly, ugly ways.

Cupp is hot, beautiful, sexy and intelligent as compared to Rosanne who has always been butt ugly with a personality you can liken to crap. That‘s why Rosanne’s a fly magnet.

      Rosanne is just jeallous because the only thing she’ll be sucking on, remotely like what Larry photoshopped in Cupps mouth, is probablly a old nasty Hillshire Farms knockwurst, seasoned in studmuffin Larry King’s briefs for maximum effect.
