Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Jennifer Pentland, daughter to comedian and actress Roseanne Barr. Or just Roseanne. We are not exactly sure in 2024. Regardless, we spoke to Jennifer around the release of her memoir, This Will Be Funny Later which frankly, leaves no stone unturned. It’s full of the good, the band and the ugly of growing up the child of a celebrity. With a mother who was a lightning rod of controversy for tabloids, gossip columnists and the general public all thought Jennifer’s teenage years, Jennifer is brutally honest which is to be commended. What was most refreshing about talking to Jennifer was that she tells her story with humor with only the mildest hint of resentment or anger about how she grew up. And when you hear her story involving everything from weight issues, self-harm and being institutionalized, it’s a wonder there was anything but rancor discussing these issues. But there isn’t. Jennifer was a remarkable person if for no other reason than the can recall the clear headed and stark reality of why she was institutionalized which had almost nothing to do with why she thought she was there. It’s a fascinating story and really tells you just how strong she is. We spoke to Jennifer in the midst of a family trip when she pulled over at a rest stop to talk to us and that’s just the kind of person she is. So get ready for a conversation involving personal chefs, Rodney Dangerfield, being a goth kid, cult and water balloons that almost is too much to believe. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
