Roseanne became a popular Twitter figure for her outspoken ways — including calling CNN newsman Anderson Cooper "a toad," and blasting NBC for "mentally torturing" her after the network rejected a sitcom pilot she made with John Goodman. Things then got serious for Roseanne after one Twitter post landed her in court!

Roseanne was sued by the parents of Florida teen-killer George Zimmerman after she posted their home address on the internet — right at the height of the nationwide furor over the 2012 shooting of 16-year-old Trayvon Martin by the neighborhood "watchman." The couple said Roseanne's Tweet was "an open and obvious call for vigilante justice."

A Florida judge later dismissed the case, however, and Roseanne went on to use Twitter constantly — often to pursue even more celebrity feuds. That included a threat to ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel during an interview with her ex Tom Arnold. "Stop asking Tom Arnold questions about whether I am crazy or not," she Tweeted, "or you will be f--king real sorry, Jimbo."

Ashton Kutcher also got blasted via Twitter after Roseanne believed that a 2013 episode of "Two and a Half Men" stole a joke from her act — calling Ashton "an immoral thief of intellectual property." Roseanne also went after her old employee and "Two and a Half Men' creator Chuck Lorre, writing "CHuCK lOrrE is A tHiEF!"

Kim Kardashian was hit with Roseanne's wrath when the comic complained Americans allowed terrorist cells to move into every neighborhood in this country while u stared at KIMK's asscheeks." The final feud before Roseanne's racist meltdown had her mocking porn star Stormy Daniels' "anal porn scenes" — with Stormy correcting her: "I don't even do anal movies."

But the outspoken star was already getting caught up in internet scandals before Twitter — making headlines when MySpace was a leading social network. Roseanne ultimately blamed an "intern" for a series of disturbing statements in 2007 — including rants about driving drunk, being incontinent, and, of course, other celebrities.

"I am in Hawaii on the beach drunk," said one bizarre posting. "I still *!#& ing hate Tom Arnold's guts, and everyone in show biz is a *%!# sucker too. I should not drink so much, as my grown children say, but what the hell.. I LIKE RED WINE!!!!"

Another potshot was reserved for legendary newsgal Barbara Walters, who was trashed as being "well over one hundred years old now. She is all head, like Joan Rivers." That was one of the MySpace posts to be deleted, with Roseanne then going to the site to blame "one of the interns" — before making another shocking statement.

Just three hours after deleting the Barbara Walters jibe, Roseanne posted: "The fired intern from Myspace has also stolen my private sex tape. I am offering $25,000 for return (unless someone would like to distribute it — then I am willing to deal)."

After the MySpace controversy, Roseanne briefly announced that her only internet presence would be via a blog at her site RoseanneWorld.com. The star couldn't resist the lure of Twitter, however. And despite declaring she was giving up her account in the midst of the Valerie Jarrett scandal, Roseanne returned to Tweet up a storm the next day!
