Roseanne Barr Reveals Diagnosis and Fears She’ll Die During Surgery

HEALTH SCARE

The controversial actress said she is “p---ed” at her doctor.

Roseanne Barr confessed she has a heart condition that is preventing her from getting a facelift she wants.

The controversial actress, 73, revealed the details about her health in a new episode of her eponymous podcast, amid a conversation about Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner and her youthful skin.

“I want one of those ponytail facelifts,” Barr said. “But this doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged.”

Barr said she is “so p---ed,” adding, “I need a new doctor.”

“He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out. And I’m like, ‘why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?’”

The Roseanne actress, who has made headlines for turning MAGA, did not clarify the details of her heart damage. She insisted that she would rather not have surgery “ever again.”

“I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home.”

She explained that both her siblings were “hospice care workers” and said, “It was the greatest thing ever, and that’s where I want to go.”

Barr was seen smoking a cigarette and sipping a glass of red wine during the podcast, in which she had a long-winding and, at times, directionless conversation with longtime friend Shannon Hughey.

The award-winning actress has come under fire for a series of controversies in recent years, beginning with a racist tweet that resulted in ABC canceling the reboot of her ‘90s sitcom Roseanne. Barr later claimed that God compelled her to make the post, which compared former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to an ape. The MAGA comedian also made paranoid allegations that ABC executives “spied” on her and wanted to censor her “from the very beginning.”

And while Barr has voiced her support for President Donald Trump–even releasing a rap video celebrating his re-election in 2025–the actress has also said the president’s administration “hurt” her feelings. She has flip-flopped on her admiration for the president, calling him out last summer for avoiding questions about the Epstein files.
