Roseanne Barr suffered from ‘several’ nervous breakdowns
January 31, 2018
Fame didn’t always treat Roseanne Barr well.
The “Roseanne” star, who is set to reprise her role in the forthcoming reboot, reveals in forthcoming “20/20″ special “Roseanne: The Return,” that becoming a household name took its toll.
“I had several nervous breakdowns, but fortunately, no one noticed,” she says in a clip from the interview. “That was what I always thought.”
Barr says her poor mental health led her to seek medical treatment.
“I did have a few nervous breakdowns and was hospitalized several times. It was very difficult,” she continues. “Fame was difficult, too, but this time I’m like, ‘OK I’m 65. Thank God I’ve got social security now so i don’t have to worry.”
