Ma’am, Ambien will make me eat lunch meat out of the fridge and drink the nasty juice from the container like it is some ambrosia charcuterie spread from the gods, but it will not turn me into some one-man community theatre production of The Accidental Racist. pic.twitter.com/VxvJMQ8Bhg

After the sitcom star’s namesake show was canceled following her tweet comparing Jarrett’s appearance to an ape, she blamed her racist rant on the insomnia medicine Ambien. However, the pharmaceutical manufacturing company basically said she better think again:
People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.

"People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication," the company tweeted.
While the company has in the past been linked to all types of other problematic side effects, racism certainly isn't one of them.
