(RNN) – Roseanne Barr posted a 1-minute clip to her YouTube channel, screaming her explanation on her tweet about Valerie Jarett, who served as an adviser to President Barack Obama.
A producer is off camera trying to ask her a question. Barr looks visibly annoyed and then she cuts across him, yelling: “I’m trying to talk about Iran, I’m trying to talk about how Valerie Jarrett wrote the Iran deal!”
The producer responds just as annoyed, “I know, you’ve told me this 300 times.”
Barr exhales in exasperation and runs her hand over her face and through her hair and said: “That’s what my tweet was about.”
Before the producer can ask another question, Barr interrupts him.
“I thought the bi*** was white!” Barr screams into the camera, along with a few other curse words before taking a drag of her cigarette.

The video was posted Thursday night, about a month after the actress canceled a television interview because it was too stressful, and the media is “distrustful.”
Barr said she’d film an interview with herself and answer questions that were sent via email. It’s not clear if this is a snippet from that announced interview or from another project.
Twitter reacted negatively, saying she was lying and making excuses.
A racist tweet the actress sent in May regarding Jarrett led to ABC firing her, even though the reboot of her sitcom was extremely popular. ABC is going to continue the show without Barr with Sara Gilbert as the focus of the show.
Barr apologized to Jarrett, and said she was on Ambien when she sent the tweet.
In June, Barr appeared on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast and said her tweets didn’t mean what people thought they meant and apologized again.
Barr acknowledged that she hurt people and wasn’t going to make any excuses for her “own ignorance.”
"I’ve lost everything, and I regretted it before I lost everything," she said on the podcast.
