Michael Fishman, who played D.J. Conner on the sitcom Roseanne, has publicly responded to comments made by his former TV mother, Roseanne Barr. In a recent podcast interview, Barr referred to Fishman as a 'f***ing worm,' according to reports. Fishman took to social media to address the remarks, calling them 'obvious lies.'
Fishman's response did not specify which particular claims he was disputing, but his statement made clear he rejects Barr's characterization. The two have had a strained relationship since Barr's controversial tweet in 2018 led to the cancellation of the Roseanne revival and her subsequent removal from the show.
Barr's podcast interview, where she made the insulting comment, has not been independently verified by this outlet. Fishman's reaction was posted on his official social media accounts, where he wrote that Barr's statements were 'obvious lies.' The exact wording of Barr's original comment and the context of the podcast remain unconfirmed by primary sources.
Representatives for both Fishman and Barr have not issued additional statements. The public exchange marks another chapter in the ongoing tensions between the former co-stars.
