Roseanne Tries to Distance Herself From RFK Jr.’s Dead Bear Cub Confession
Roseanne Barr wants you to know that it wasn’t her idea to film Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s shocking confession to dumping a bear cub’s corpse in Central Park 10 years ago.
Seemingly in an effort to distance herself from the disturbing tale, Barr took to Twitter/X on Monday to write that the video in which RFK Jr. tells her his massive secret was not something she’d orchestrated. “This was not filmed by me or my team,” she posted, “This was off the cuff after the interview.” She didn’t have any condemnation for Kennedy—nor did she clarify what interview she was referring to—but she was in agreement that it was “a funny story.” Many are not laughing.
RFK Jr. told the tale on camera to Barr in an effort to get ahead of a “bad story” The New Yorker published on Monday about the time he and a group of friends found a dead bear on a road while hunting. Intending to skin the bear and “keep the meat in the fridge,” as he describes in the video, he put the bear’s body in his car.
