Earlier this week, Roseanne Barr slammed Kathy Griffin for posing in such an insensitive picture session. However, Roseanne’s reaction wasn’t just outrage. She believed that Griffin’s stunt distracted the media’s attention from what is a more important issue in her opinion.
On Tuesday evening, Roseanne tweeted: “Kathy Griffin misdirects everyone away from #SethRich.”
