Roseanne Barr said she forgives “everyone who hurt” her in her latest tweet following the cancellation of “Roseanne” over her racist comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett.

“I forgive everyone who hurt me. I forgive as fast as I can everyday. That is why I am able to live free. I want the best for everyone-I want no more racism or anti semitism or classism. I want peace! Let’s all move on [and] help FREEDOM,” the 65-year-old comedian tweeted Friday to her followers.

Barr’s original tweet read, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.

The “Roseanne” star also tried once again to defend her comment and claimed the “Planet of the Apes” movie was one of her favorites. Earlier this week, she said the Jarrett comment was about how the Iran nuclear deal was anti-Semitic.

“The movie Planet of The Apes (my favorite movie) has a great subtext that is an accurate representation of class-race-religion intersections & juxtapositions,” she wrote.

Barr apologized for the racist tweet and has since vowed to “make restitution for the pain she caused.”
