Roseanne Barr blasts women in #MeToo movement as 'hoes' in latest shocking interview

Roseanne Barr has slammed the #MeToo movement on an American talk show, calling the women who have spoken out over alleged abuse “hoes.”

Barr, 66, made the comments during an interview with Fox News host, Candace Owens, on the Candace Owens Show on Sunday.

The pair discussed their views on the #MeToo movement, with Barr saying: “They were there in the room because they thought they were going to get a job 15 years ago. Cuz they're hoes.

“They’re pretending that they didn’t go to trade sexual favours for money,” she added, referring to why some women find themselves in men’s hotel rooms at 3am.

Ms Owens replied by asking about the women accused comedian Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct, to which Barr responded:“That’s who I’m talking about, too.

“I know a hoe when I see one.”

Barr also attacked Christine Blasey Ford, who publicly accused US judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct last year.

Ms Ford testified against Mr Kavanaugh before he was confirmed as a member of the US Supreme court, accusing him of groping her at a party when she was a teenager.

Barr said during the interview that “nothing happened” to Ms Ford.

“She should be in prison,” Barr said, adding that Ford used her “white woman privilege” to raise $1million from crowdfunding campaigns that supported her following her testimony.

She also took aim at California Democrat, Kamala Harris, who has announced she is running for president.

“Look at Kamala Harris, who I call Kama Sutra Harris,” Barr said.

“We all know what she did… she slept her way to the bottom,” Barr continued, referring to Ms Harris' past relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

Barr last year apologised for an "ill-worded" Twitter post and insisted she was not a racist after her ABC sitcom was cancelled.

She posted a tweet referring to Valerie Jarrett, a former adviser to Barack Obama, as a product of the "Muslim Brotherhood and Planet Of The Apes".
