The veteran star’s frustration over Gilbert’s public remarks only grew as the fallout continued. She believed that not only had her former co-star stabbed her in the back, but she had also repeatedly discussed the controversy on her now-canceled talk show, “The Talk,” expressing shock over Barr’s comments.
Feeling pushed to her limit, Barr eventually confronted Gilbert directly, warning, “You better shut your blanking mouth about me, I’m telling you. You better shut your […] mouth.” According to Barr, the criticism stopped after that.
Despite the turmoil, she eventually came to terms with what happened. Although the decision to erase her character from the show was painful, she chose to forgive, believing that being removed from the situation was a form of protection.
Finding Peace and Letting Go
Finding closure allowed Barr to focus on new projects. In January 2025, she revealed plans for a TV comeback, co-writing a comedy series with “Roseanne” and “Arli$$” alum Allan Stephan.
Set in a small Alabama town, the show blends elements of “The Roseanne Show” and “The Sopranos.” Barr stars as a farmer battling drug gangs and foreign influence while growing and selling cannabis and magic mushrooms.
Barr described the upcoming series as bold and unconventional, embracing humor that pushes boundaries. She shared that it will feature “very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing,” blending dark comedy with social commentary.
Inspired by her life as a farmer in Hawaii, the show follows characters who “save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism.” She compared its tone to the style of the Coen brothers, suggesting a mix of satire and gritty realism.
Life on Her Hawaiian Farm
Barr’s life on her Hawaiian farm serves as an inspiration for her work and a retreat from the public eye. She shares a 47-acre farm with her longtime partner, and at times, her extended family joins them.
She has posted snapshots of the estate on Instagram, sparking a range of reactions. While some appreciate the glimpse into her rural lifestyle, others have expressed differing opinions.
Barr also listed one of her two El Segundo homes in Los Angeles worth $3.5 million. It was a property she bought in 2003 for $1.17 million. This move followed her decision to live full-time on her 47-acre macadamia nut farm in Hawaii, which she purchased in 2007 for $1.78 million.
She often shares glimpses of her experiences in Hawaii on Instagram, showing her enjoying simple pleasures like cutting grass, celebrating birthdays, and appreciating rainbows.
Fans have praised her for maintaining a normal, relatable lifestyle. One commented, “I love that your house is normal. It’s not a kitchen island the size of my living room with oversized chandeliers. You’re raw. I love it!”
