Here’s What Laurie Metcalf Has To Say About The ‘Roseanne’ Backlash
While numerous people have things to say about the Roseanne show, Laurie Metcalf has her own assessments.
“I don’t know why it got labeled that exactly for Trump’s America because I don’t think it’s that. We couldn’t not address it,” she said on Sunday Today with Willie Geist.
“I thought the writers did it really well. That it caused a rift in the family. They’re not consciously writing it for a certain political view,” she said about depicting how the decision to vote for Trump could divide members of a household. “But some of the issues that are on these new shows, some are different like opioids addiction. And some are exactly the same of what they were 20 years ago.”
