Roseanne Barr attacks #MeToo movement, calls women who come forward 'hos'

Roseanne Barr unleashed on the #MeToo movement in her latest string of unhinged comments.

The 66-year-old comedian called the women who come forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault “hos” during an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens Sunday.

Referencing a conversation she had the other day, Barr said that a woman told her, “‘well they were there in the [hotel] room ‘cause they thought they were gonna get a job 15 years ago.’ It’s like well, ‘cause they’re hos.”

She goes on to say women were pretending “they didn’t go to trade sexual favors for money.”

Owens echoed her sentiment, comparing the feminist movement to white supremacy.

The #MeToo movement has empowered women across the country to come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct.
