An Early Target of Rupert Murdoch, Roseanne Barr is Enjoying His Downfall (VIDEO)
Roseanne Barr is doing much better now, thank you very much. She told Chelsea Handler on 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!) that when she first got famous, "I kind of lost my mind. You know, like Charlie Sheen."One of the things that helped push her mental state toward unhealthy was constant media interference. It may not have been as intense or immediate as what we see celebrities put up with today, but it was pretty intrusive nonetheless.
"I'm so happy to see Rupert Murdoch's stuff crumbling," Barr said. "When he came to our country, I was one of his first targets. He tapped my phones and people went through my garbage, and all that kind of stuff does kind of drive you crazy."
A lot of people are enjoying the unfolding Rupert Murdoch scandal, but Barr seems to be taking particular delight in it. We'd imagine a lot of other celebrities who've been equally targeted by the press over the years are hoping this will usher in a positive change in the media. Time will tell.
