Roseanne Barr Slams #MeToo Movement: ‘You Ain’t Nothing But a Ho’

March 3, 2019 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Roseanne Barr turned her ever-controversial attention to the #MeToo movement in a new talk show appearance. As TMZ notes, Barr appeared on conservative talk show The Candace Owens Show and discussed the movement against sexual harassment and misconduct, saying that the women crying foul should have spoken up at the time of their harassment.

She held off at first, saying, “The #MeToo movement…oh, I shouldn’t go there.” After Owens prompted her to continue, she said, “First of all, let me tell you. Mike Tyson, who is hilarious and a friend for a long time, he calls it the ‘You Too’ movement…they’re gonna get you too.”

Barr went on to call the movement a witch hunt and said, “I’ll tell you something, I was talking to her yesterday, she said something to me about, you know, ‘Well they were there in the room ’cause they thought they were gonna get a job fifteen years ago…it’s cause they’re hos…like, if you don’t run out the room and go, ‘Excuse me, you don’t talk to me that [way], you don’t do that to me, excuse me’ and leave, but you stayed around because you’re like, ‘Well, I thought maybe he was gonna give me a writing job.’ Well, you ain’t nothing but a ho.'”

The full interview is below, with her #MeToo comments starting at 31:00.
