Disgraced TV legend Roseanne Barr has announced she is queer while hitting out at the use of the word 'f*g'.
In an impassioned YouTube video seen by Fox News, the star reportedly spoke to her followers about the use of the 'hateful' word before slipping in: 'Because I am queer as two motherf--kers. I’m queer. I’m alien'.
She said: 'Man, the word f*g is a really hateful word, isn’t it? Especially when it’s like one gay calling another gay guy that. Whoo! Have you ever been in the middle of one of them hate marriages? Whoof!...

'It’s like ‘Wait a minute. We’re not supposed to say that word. How come you’re saying that word? What? Okay, I just can’t say the word. Well, I can when I’m in the house, but I can’t say it outside of the house. Okay, I get your rules.'...
'Get rid of it being spoken. All that LGBTQ stuff, okay, let me just be real. I put the Q in LGBTQ. Okay. Because I am queer as two motherf--kers. I’m queer...
'I’m alien. I don’t belong here with all these people. They make no sense. They are very queer. And that makes me a queer, I guess. But I did put the Q in it. Bye.'
Roseanne was married to motel clerk in Bill Pentland for nearly 24 years, after they wed in 1974 before splitting in 1990. They share kids Jessica, 44, Jennifer, 43, and 41-year-old Jake.

She married comedian Tom Arnold, who she met in 1983 in Minneapolis when he opened for her stand-up act, just four days after her divorce went through.
Her third marriage came when she married her one-time personal security guard Ben Thomas in Tahoe in 1995 before getting divorced in 2002. They share Buck, 24.
She is now dating Johnny Argent, a writer and composer who she began seeing in 2003. The couple live together in Hawaii.
Roseanne has been hitting headlines of late due to her increasingly erratic behaviour stemming from controversy last year when she shared a racist tweet about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett.

Hitting out: Last month, she blamed her former co-star Sara Gilbert (pictured) for 'destroying her life' after she condemned her 'abhorrent' comments about Valerie Jarrett
Last month, she blamed her former co-star Sara Gilbert for 'destroying her life' after she condemned her 'abhorrent' comments about Valerie Jarrett.
Sara , 44, tweeted her outrage after the comedian tweeted racist remarks about former Obama administration adviser Jarrett.
Roseanne's namesake show was cancelled less than an hour later. And not only does Roseanne blame Sara for the cancellation, but she also says she 'destroyed her life'.
She told The Washington Post this week: '[Sara] destroyed the show and my life with that tweet. She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.'
