The Roseanne reboot had controversy written all over it. There are those who questioned if she deserved a second chance. Roseanne Barr had a well-documented history of controversial, conspiratorial and racist statements even before Tuesday, when a racist tweet ended her sitcom for good. Pompeo, star and producer of Grey’s Anatomy, pointed this out on Wednesday morning when addressing the story.

Pompeo retweeted an article about the Roseanne controversy. The tweet read that “The former Obama adviser said the racist attack against her should be used as a ‘teaching moment.‘”

Pompeo agreed, adding, “And the teaching moment begins with ‘when someone shows you who they are.. believe them.'”

And the teaching moment begins with "when someone shows you who they are.. believe them." She is exactly who we thought she was. I don't care what the ratings were. She never deserved a second chance in my opinion. But glad Channing got to give her what she deserves. https://t.co/nUz5zRpad8

The cancellation came only a few hours after Barr tweeted about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. Jarrett was born to American parents in Iran, and and is a woman of color. Barr tweeted, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby”. Barr apparently doesn’t have a filter.

Barr’s tweet went up at 2:45 a.m. in response to groundless conspiracy claiming that Jarrett had helped cover up alleged crimes of the Obama administration. A few hours later, ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey released a statement announcing the cancellation.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” Dungey wrote.

Barr was often admired as a groundbreaking leader for women in the industry. Her show defied many television norms at the time, and she had a level of control that female producers were rarely afforded. However, for more than a decade, she has been preoccupied with conspiracy theories that have made her a hero to those in the same circle.

Back in January, Pompeo gave an interview at The Hollywood Reporter, discussing the need for women to take an interest in the business side of entertainment and fight for their place at the table. At this point, women shouldn’t have to fight to be at the same level in Entertainment if they deserve it.

“For me, Patrick leaving the show was a defining moment, deal-wise,” she said. “They could always use him as leverage against me — ‘We don’t need you; we have Patrick’ — which they did for years. I don’t know if they also did that to him, because he and I never discussed our deals. There were many times where I reached out about joining together to negotiate, but he was never interested in that.

“At one point, I asked for $5,000 more than him just on principle, because the show is Grey’s Anatomy and I’m Meredith Grey. They wouldn’t give it to me. And I could have walked away, so why didn’t I?” she asked rhetorically. “It’s my show; I’m the number one. I’m sure I felt what a lot of these other actresses feel: Why should I walk away from a great part because of a guy? You feel conflicted but then you figure, “I’m not going to let a guy drive me out of my own house.”

At the end of last year, Pompeo signed a deal making her the highest paid woman on a dramatic TV series.

Agent Carter ran for two seasons but has not been renewed for a third. The series followed the secret exploits of Peggy Carter, Captain America’s love interest from the first film starring Chris Evans.  Actress Hayley Atwell, reprised her role from the film, working along with other agents to keep America safe during the infancy of SHIELD.

Also not being picked up is Marvel’s Most Wanted. Starring Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood as the lead characters,  Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter respectively, Marvel’s Most Wanted was a promising series. The premise of the show entailed the two stars  being on the run from numerous bounty hunters. Delroy Lindo  was set to play Howard Chaykin’s  character Dominic Fortune, the world adventurer, in this series as well. It is the second time Marvel’s Most Wanted was passed by ABC which, like Marvel Comics, is owned by parent company Disney. Adrianne Palicki was set to star as Wonder Woman a few years ago. NBC decided not to pick up the pilot although it was filmed.

NBC cancelled the highly anticipated Constantine who has been resurrected on the CW Network on Arrow and may be picked up as a series again on CW according to some sources. Reruns of Constantine can be seen on the El-Rey network. CBS has decided not to renew its contract with Supergirl, who is now flying over to the CW. You can look forward to several crossovers on that network now that Supergirl will be the fourth series on the CW starring DC characters.

Directed by Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Deliver Us From Evil) from a script penned by Jon Spaihts (Prometheus, Passengers) and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister), Doctor Strange tells the story of Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch), an acclaimed, yet exceedingly arrogant, neurosurgeon who uncovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions after a near-fatal car accident, showing audiences yet undiscovered corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The doctor will be in on Friday, November 4, 2016, following Captain America: Civil War, which opens on May 6.
