But when asked if she would watch Barr’s stand-up act, the former government official said she wouldn’t and hoped no one else would, because of the “teachable moment” for the comedian.

Bar was aware of Jarrett’s response and said, “I admit she thinks I’ve wronged her,” and said launching a public apology is frustrating because she’s been repeatedly mocked for the same thing.

However, amid the controversy, Barr apologized and stated that she was leaving Twitter. The actress said the backlash interrupted her career and life, but she was proud to have overcome it.
