Roseanne Barr, the American actress and comedian, has made an audacious claim insinuating that the Coronavirus pandemic is a deliberate plot to “get rid” of her entire generation.
In a bizarre revelation during an episode of Quarantined With Norm Macdonald, a YouTube talk show hosted by the 60-year-old comedian, the 67-year-old actress expressed her belief in the alleged conspiracy.
When the topic was brought up by Norm, he remarked, “The earth is like ‘here’s a virus, you know, here’s a little test see how you do,’” to which the Emmy and Golden Globe winner responded with her controversial theory, stating, “I think we’re being forced to evolve. I think they’re just trying to get rid of all my generation.”
Roseanne substantiated her thesis by highlighting the actions of millennials attempting to “inherit the money” belonging to the boomer generation. She claimed, “The boomer ladies that, you know, that inherited their… you know, are widows. They inherited the money so they got to go wherever the money is and figure out a way to get it away from people.”
She further added to her argument by suggesting that the pandemic could “absolutely” be the “rapture.”
Barr’s career began in stand-up comedy before she earned widespread fame for starring in the self-titled sitcom, Roseanne, which became one of the most successful shows on television from 1988-1997.
