Roseanne Barr blames Ambien for Racist Tweets

She must take a LOT of Ambien.

She tweeted, “guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — i went 2 far & do not want it defended — it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but...don’t defend it please.”

She cited Ambien again in a later tweet, saying, “Not giving excuses for what I did(tweeted) but I’ve done weird stuff while on ambien — cracked eggs on the wall at 2am etc.”

Oddly, she later deleted all of her references to the medication. Nevertheless, Ambien became the #1 trending topic on Twitter on Wednesday morning, leading to Sanofi’s public rebuke. Barr’s explanation was deemed laughable.

Best part about this?   Sanofi,  the maker of Ambien (a sleep aid medication),  later responded with this statement:

While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.
