Former sitcom star Roseanne Barr unleashed at a live event hosted by a popular right-wing personality last week, claiming Hollywood executives and other liberals were eating babies.
The comedian, who rose to fame on the 1990s American TV show Roseanne but has become a controversial figure in recent years, was a guest at a Tucker Carlson live show in Texas on Tuesday night.
Barr and the former Fox News star spoke about a variety of topics, including Donald Trump and the 2020 election result, before the conversation turned to Jeffrey Epstein and his 2019 death.

Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell while facing charges of sex trafficking, however many conspiracy theorists believe the millionaire businessman was murdered.
When speaking about a list of Epstein’s associates that Barr said was still yet to come out, despite a list of names being released by a New York judge earlier this year, the 71-year-old claimed “they” were vampires and ate babies.
It’s unclear who exactly Barr was talking about but it appeared she was referring to those who were known to associate with Epstein, as well as those involved in Hollywood.
“They’re just trying to protect themselves because when that list comes out … it’s gonna be like worse than the emperor naked,” she said.
“It’s gonna be the emperor went to Epstein island and ate people.
“You know they eat babies, that is not bullshit. It’s true.”
Barr said these elites were “full on vampires” and promised that she wasn’t crazy.
“They love the taste of human flesh and they drink human blood. They do Tucker.”
In response Carlson, who is now the head of his own media company, admitted he was “freaked” out by Barr’s claims but said that she had “authority” on the topic because “you spent your life in the entertainment business”.
Donald Trump, superstar magician David Copperfield and Bill Clinton are among those identified as associates of Epstein, however this does not mean they were engaged in any wrongdoing.
Roseanne was briefly revived in 2018 but cancelled after Barr made a racist tweet about a former adviser to President Barack Obama.
During an hour-long interview on Fox News she apologised for the post saying: “It cost me everything”.
“I wish I worded it better.”
She has since been outspoken about various political issues and right-wing conspiracy theories.
