Benji The Dog: Not true - You are thinking of Brett Butler I bet. She had the nasty reputation for treating her supporting cast on "Grace Under Fire" like crap, even the kids. But Roseanne was alway good to hers. Roseanne did have a reputation for butting heads with the producers and writers of the show, that I remember but not the cast.

Actually, Benji The Dog is quite correct. Roseanne did develop a terrible reputation during the course of that show. She and Tom Arnold were hated by a lot of the people on that show, including some of the cast members. They couldn't keep writers because Roseanne and Tom were acting like Gods behind the scenes.
Sara Gilbert tells the story of Roseanne coming up to her one day during rehearsals and telling her that if she didn't toe the line, she would fire her. According to Sara, she told Roseanne to go away because she, Roseanne, didn't have the authority to fire her or anyone else on the show.
A few cast members have talked about that time. They all say the same thingonce she married Tom Arnold, she changed for the worst. She gave Tom too much power over her and the show. Tom started isolating her from the rest of the people on the show, cast and crew alike. Her whole personality changed and what was once a tight knit group of people acting on a great show became an "us against Tom and Roseanne" mentality.
So, her bad reputation and the terrible way she treated the cast and crew of Roseanne after she married Tom is quite true. Producers, directors, actors, etc all say the same thing. She became an unbearable bitch to work with.

Very interesting story and Thank you! They always seem so "close" and chummy when you see them together but I guess that's publicity and acting for you. I am sure I heard that Roseanne and Laurie Metcalf were like "sisters" once according to Metcalf but who knows if its really true. Thanks again.

The actor who played her son DJ- Michael Fishman- was recently on her radio show and they talked about how she always gives him advice. He is raising his family and trying to get some work in the industry.

Roseanne recently said on the radio that she played mediator between John Goodman and Tom Arnold during the show's run because they couldn't stand each other. However, Tom and John recently bonded because of AA, which annoyed Roseanne since she doesn't speak to Tom anymore.
She did however also praise John's talent and also said she kept in touch with Laurie, who recently was on Broadway with a play.
