Comedian Roseanne Barr Arnold called Utah men - and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah - unfunny names in the Washington Post on Tuesday.
In a lengthy profile, Arnold talked about abuse she said she suffered as a child in Utah - which her parents have denied. She said because some doubted her story, she felt kinship with Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings because she was also doubted.That's what led to Arnold's attack on Hatch and his performance during those hearings.
"Well, you know what I think of him. Every guy in Utah is exactly like him. That's what I grew up with: those pinheaded b-------," she told the Post.
She also told the Post that her father molested her daughter, then 14, at Tom and Roseanne Arnold's first wedding.
About her parents in Utah, Arnold said, "There's no estrangement. They're dead to me. There's no hope that I would ever trust any child around either my mother or my father."
