Roseanne Barr has been embracing country life on her Texas ranch after Hollywood turned its back on her.
The 72-year-old comedian recently revealed a harrowing experience that could have ended tragically.
And Roseanne Barr made one jaw-dropping confession about her Texas life that left everyone stunned.
Comedy Legend Battles 100-Pound Tree Branch in Life-or-Death Struggle
Roseanne spends her days maintaining her expansive 30-acre Texas property with her trusty tractor.
But Barr’s rural paradise turned dangerous during a routine mowing session that nearly became a disaster.
During her recent Fox News Digital interview, the comedian opened up about a terrifying incident that happened just days earlier.
“I’m doing a lot of mowing. I’ve got a really fantastic tractor out here, and I’m mowing. The only problem is I don’t clear the trees quite as good as I should, and I’m always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head,” Barr told Fox News Digital.
The actress admitted she’s suffered “several injuries recently” from her ongoing battles with Texas trees.
But her latest encounter nearly proved fatal.
“I had this one tree, I guess it was two nights ago, I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor,” Barr revealed.
The enormous branch that fell on Barr weighed approximately 100 pounds, creating a potentially deadly trap.
With no one around to help, the 72-year-old found herself in a life-threatening situation that required immediate action.
Roseanne Calls on Divine Help to Escape Death Trap
Faced with the crushing weight of the massive tree limb, Barr knew she had to act fast or risk serious injury.
“So I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds,” Barr explained.
What followed was an epic hour-long battle between the aging comedian and Mother Nature.
Barr worked tirelessly to move the heavy branch “inch by inch” until she could finally flip it over and free herself.
But the grandmother of several didn’t rely solely on her own strength during the ordeal.
“I was like, ‘Oh, I’m 72 years old,’ but I just said my mighty prayers that always work. I said, ‘Come on God, I am 72 years and I just want to be able to harness all this strong Russian energy that I know I still have in there if you’re with me.’ And I just flipped it,” Barr recounted.
The veteran performer expressed pride in her ability to handle the crisis without outside help.
Despite the close call, Barr continues to operate her tractor and maintain her sprawling Texas property single-handedly.
Texas Ranch Life Beats Hollywood After Career Destruction
Barr’s move to the Lone Star State has been transformative following the brutal end to her television career.
Living in Texas has been a “dream come true” for the comedian, according to her Fox News Digital interview.
The stark contrast between her peaceful ranch life and the toxic Hollywood environment that destroyed her career couldn’t be more dramatic.
In 2018, ABC executives canceled her hit show Roseanne after she posted a controversial tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
The network then created The Conners, a spinoff that continued without its original star.
The cancellation severed Barr’s relationships with her former co-stars permanently.
“No, I’m not friends with none of them. They’re all in the past. I have pleasant memories of what fun we had – wish them all the best. And no, we don’t talk,” Barr told Fox News Digital.
She added that she’s “moved on from that horrendous ending and chapter of my life” but holds no grudges against her former colleagues.
However, Barr didn’t mince words about how the situation unfolded.
“And I was sorry they f***ed it all up with their greed and ridiculous stupidity to f*** all that up. F*** them, but I wish them well,” she said.
Roseanne Reveals the Real Story Behind Her Controversial Tweet
The comedian also provided insight into the circumstances surrounding the tweet that ended her television career.
“I sent out the tweet on Memorial Day after I found out that they had really screwed me over and they had stolen my show,” Barr explained.
She revealed that discovering the betrayal motivated her controversial social media post.
“And I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m not going to go back.’ So I thought, ‘Well, I’m going to go out with a bang, and I’m going to go out exposing the Obama administration’s Iran deal,'” Barr continued.
The actress has consistently relied on her faith to navigate difficult periods throughout her life.
“God gets me through all my f*** ups. I have screwed up so many times, man. I misread the room. I think people will get it and they don’t,” Barr admitted.
She acknowledged that her sharp wit sometimes creates problems when audiences miss her intended meaning.
“Sometimes my brain spins out of control when I get into the sardonic and people don’t understand nuance and that kind of thing. Sometimes I’m just too smart for my own damn good,” Barr reflected.
New Documentary Chronicles Roseanne’s American Journey
Despite past controversies, Barr continues moving forward with new projects.
Her upcoming documentary “Roseanne Barr is America” debuts June 10 and promises to tell her complete life story.
The project will showcase “the untold story of her unusual upbringing and her extraordinarily successful career in comedy and television,” according to its press release.
Barr views her personal journey as representative of the broader American experience.
“I went from poverty to wealth through comedy. That’s a typical Jewish-American experience in my generation and a few other generations for minority people that are funny. I think it’s typical, you know,” Barr told Fox News Digital.
The documentary arrives as Barr enjoys her golden years on her Texas ranch, far from the Hollywood machine that once elevated then destroyed her career.
Even dangerous encounters with 100-pound tree branches can’t dampen her spirits as she lives life on her own terms.
