John Goodman said he felt bad for his Roseanne co-star Roseanne Barr after she faced backlash over a racist tweet.

A revival of the hit 90s sitcom was canceled by ABC in 2018 after Barr made racist comments about former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett .

Several months later, Goodman, who reprised his role as Roseannes husband Dan, said he was surprised at the response to the incident and I know for a fact that shes not a racist.

In a new interview with Variety , Goodman said he had no regrets about defending Barr. He recalled being at a press event at the time, and it just turned into attack. And that made me very uncomfortable with them just attacking Roseanne.

I felt bad for her. I just feel terrible about the whole thing. We had a great time. And I love her. Shes just her own person, he said of his former co-star.

Asked if he would work with Barr again, Goodman was unsure.

I just dont know. I miss her, he said. I wish her well.
