Roseanne Barr thanks John Goodman for his support

Roseanne Barr has thanked John Goodman for defending her following her controversial tweet scandal.



The disgraced 'Roseanne' star has shown her gratitude to her former on-screen husband for claiming she isn't racist.



Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "I thank John Goodman for speaking truth about me, despite facing certain peril from producers and network."



Her tweet comes after John spoke out to defend the 65-year-old actress and admitted he was "very depressed" following the US broadcasters decision to axe the show.



After the cancellation of 'Roseanne', ABC announced plans to launch a spin-off show entitled 'The Conners', which will not star Roseanne herself but will see John reprise his role as Dan Conner.



The spin-off is set to premiere in October, and Rosanne recently claimed the network would be "lucky" if the show is successful without her.
