The controversial actress previously spoiled this in September during an interview with conservative YouTube show The Unsilent Majority.
Roseanne was canceled after the eponymous star wrote a tweet comparing former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes.”
After the death was confirmed, Twitter users couldn’t contain their emotions! See the best reactions (below):

And just to comment on #TheConners: **SPOILER** it's so important that, with the huge opioid crisis out there in America, people see how easy the tragic effects can hit close to home by the people you least expect.

Didn't even have a funeral, zero emotion! I would've gave them some credit if they did the first episode with class. Sara Gilbert totally is trying to be the new Roseanne.Many tactless lines. I think they all need some more acting classes! It was horrible! @ABCNetwork #TheConners
