Roseanne Barr claimed she walked away from 'The Conners' to save her cast mates' jobs.

The 65-year-old disgraced actress - whose sitcom 'Roseanne' was axed by US network ABC earlier this year after backlash over a racist tweet she posted - has insisted she wanted to do what was right for her former co-stars.

Asked about reports her character could be killed off, she told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I just have to be neutral and walk away. I did walk away, so people can keep their jobs."

The programme needed Roseanne's blessing to be made, as she helped create the characters, and so she had to agree to forfeit her financial interests and sign off on the project.

The actress added that it was important to find a "silver lining" after ABC took the decision to end her sitcom after her remarks about former White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.
