Like Kathy Griffin and Paula Deen before her......Roseanne forgot she works for a company. And like the aforementioned celebs...she was reminded that she is not just responsible for what she does...but can be held accountable for the mere perception of wrongdoing. Especially when the people who pay her salary answer not just to a board...but to shareholders. Does Roseanne have a history of outrageous behaviour? Yes. Is this tame in comparison to some of that content? Yes.

There is a movie I suggest for fellow Maicans who wish to further their understanding of learned behaviour...The Passion of Darkly Noon (1995). For me the takeaway is people who wield power...pedestrian or otherworldly...MUST be aware of not just how that power is wielded in their own lives but how it affects others inadvertently and that there is a law of unintended consequences for the things we are, say and do. Roseanne wields tremendous power whether she will admit it or not. The company she works for knows this all too well. After decades of careful branding...they are not going to allow an actor with no loyalty to that brand to tarnish it...ambien or not.

It is my belief...that Roseanne did a few things wrong. It is my hope that she will not simply pay for her 'wrongdoing'...but learn from it/them. Peace and blessings be upon you and yours. Walk good.
