However, the trυth was that this пews was пot real. As some other Facebook υsers пoted iп their commeпts, the story origiпated oп a website that describes its coпteпt as satire.

Similar satire-labeled rυmors previoυsly circυlated oпliпe aboυt Barr aпd Alleп gettiпg together for a пew TV show, as we reported iп 2023.

In an industry often criticized for its adherence to politically correct norms, two heavyweight actors, Roseanne Barr and Tim Allen, have made headlines by taking a stand against what they perceive as the prevailing ‘woke’ culture. The duo has announced their intention to establish a new actors’ guild aimed at promoting artistic freedom and resisting what they see as excessive ideological policing in Hollywood.

Roseanne Barr, known for her eponymous sitcom “Roseanne,” and Tim Allen, famed for his roles in “Home Improvement” and “Last Man Standing,” have both faced their fair share of controversies throughout their careers. Barr, in particular, made waves with her outspoken views and provocative humor, while Allen has often been vocal about his conservative beliefs in an industry largely seen as left-leaning.

The decision to form a new actors’ guild comes amidst growing concerns over the perceived stifling of creativity and expression in Hollywood. Both Barr and Allen have voiced their frustrations with what they perceive as the industry’s increasing intolerance towards differing viewpoints, citing instances where artists have faced backlash for expressing unpopular opinions.

The proposed guild aims to provide a platform for actors who feel marginalized or ostracized due to their political beliefs or unconventional views. It promises to advocate for artistic freedom and resist what Barr and Allen see as the undue influence of political correctness on creative expression.

While the idea has garnered support from some quarters, it has also faced criticism and skepticism. Critics argue that the formation of such a guild could further polarize an already divided industry and exacerbate tensions between artists with differing ideologies.

Nevertheless, Barr and Allen remain undeterred, emphasizing the importance of creating a space where artists can express themselves freely without fear of reprisal. Whether their endeavor will succeed in challenging the status quo of Hollywood remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the debate over ‘wokeness’ and political correctness in the entertainment industry shows no signs of abating.
