Roseanne Barr Responds to Heart Attack Rumors

Roseanne Barr says she is “fine” and has had “no medical issues” following online rumors that she suffered a heart attack.

A man alleging to be the 66-year-old former Roseanne star’s assistant “Frank” recently made the claim while calling Sputnik News radio host Lee Stranahan as he was filming a live Periscope video, spurring further speculation on social media.

“I’m fine,” Barr tweeted on Saturday night, alongside a photo of herself posing in a pirate wench-themed T-shirt and printed leggings. An hour later, she wrote, “I was the victim of a prank. I’ve had no medical issues. I’m spending time at home with my family and relaxing.”
