Monica Padman

I have a whole theory I'm not entitled to have about Roseanne, which is I think the racism aside, it was racist.

I acknowledge it.

But that's just one of many historic things she has done at the height of her popularity to really alienate everyone and test whether they love her.

Yeah.

Like the famous.

Yeah, I think like when she sang the national anthem.

Mm hmm.

intentionally poorly and annoyingly.

And she pissed everyone off.

And it's like the patriotism flared up and she's brilliant.

So

She's too smart to not know that wasn't a good move.

So then I wonder what story is she confirming by doing this thing?

Like, well, how could she as smart as she was convince herself that I'm going to do this?

And I think it's this, you don't believe all these people that love you really love you.

And then your brain comes up with this bizarre test of that.

Yeah.

To find out, to confirm you're right, basically.

But no one really loves you.

They love this fake version of you they see on TV or hear in music.
