Roseanne Barr has apologised after receiving widespread criticism for comparing a former Barack Obama adviser to an ape.

The actress and comedian was given the opportunity to make amends two months after she shocked many with a string of racist tweets, which led the cancellation of the revival of her sitcom.

In May, Ms Barr tweeted that Valerie Jarrett, an African-American woman who was born in Iran, is like the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”

Ms Barr, 65, was given the chance to apologise live on Fox News on Thursday to Valerie Jarrett. But she managed to offend the ex-president’s former adviser again.
