Alec Baldwin thinks Roseanne deserves another chance

He proposes she give half her salary to the NAACP and her character be forced to confront her real-life actions.

That's interesting ... I wonder if she'd go for it.
Certainly forcing her to do that might give her the legal grounds
to challenge her firing though.

I agree with what Jimmy Kimmel said, she is probably going
through something very difficult, and people should not go
the typical thing and whenever they find someone that
made a mistake everyone wants their pound of flesh.

Something is not right with her, and I doubt she will change,
but Kimmel and Baldwin are closer to the right track on this.
It is time we start finding ways to coexist together with our
fallibilities.

I don't think Rosanne is racist and her show shouldn't have been cancelled. These witch hunts need to stop, because the public will eventually get sick of it all and then when someone really has a valid issue, no one will care. It is somewhat like the boy who cried wolf.

reply

When the witch stands up and repeated yells ... "I am a witch", and then makes it very plain that she is, even when she has many multiple chances to express contrition, that is no witch hunt.

Besides, no one cares about valid issues anyway. No one cares about the plight of Native Americans, no one cares about making black people more part of this country and justice for them. No one cares about women except the facade of caring about a few really super rich or famous women. No one cares about the millions and millions of working class people who cannot afford health care, rent or food anymore. No one cares about the food that we eat is almost all factory produced garbage that kills people. I could go on and on hacking your specious argument that witch hunts of anything else is making people not care about really important valid issues.

reply

I'm convinced.

reply

I certainly don't care about any of that crap.

Well of COURSE Alex Baldwin thinks that assholes who shoot their mouths off deserve another chance!

He's had a million second chances himself, but now things have changed. If he doesn't learn how to keep his trap shut, he might be the next person called to account by a TV network or at the center of a social media pile-on.

reply

Trump doesn't keep his mouth shut and no one fires him.

reply

Apparently Baldwin isn't smart enough to get himself into a position where he can't be fired.

He's still just a jobbing actor, always one new contract away from the end of his career.

reply

Americans fired him.

Signed, million man.

Does Alec Baldwin get a free pass in Hollywood despite his numerous controversies because he's still a "funny actor" at the end of the day?

reply

Whatever kind of free pass he has, it's not guaranteed to last.

That's the unpleasant thing about social media, it encourages instantaneous mass criticism of individuals, from Harvey Weinstein to dentists on hunting trips. Baldwin may take another misstep and find himself at the center of a national or worldwide pile-on, or he may not. The process seems terribly random.

Very ironic comment given that four years later, it wasn't his own mouth that Alec Baldwin was shooting off!

reply

soooo, alec is a C ?

reply

He's a C? Oh, you mean a Character actor... ouch, that hurts.

reply

She already had multiple chances. Considering her past bigotry, she should never have been given a new show.

reply

ABC knew she had a history of racist remarks and mental illness. Both have been out there for years. Anyone could research that. I understand ABC was concerned but if they were smart they should’ve found a way to force her off twitter. Have someone else or a bot run her account. Many celebrities have their Twitter set up like that. Too late now. I don’t see her agreeing to being shipped off to sensitivity training or agreeing to seek any kind of help at her age.

At this point, media companies can't trust Roseanne. She's too much of a liability. In less than 24 hours, her own words got her new number one rated show cancelled, reruns of old and new episodes pulled, and her agent kicking her to the curb. In an era where media companies will overlook a lot if you can make them money, it takes a special kind of idiocy to pull that off - but she did it.

Of course that was before he shot a woman.
