“Real Time” host Bill Maher and TV personality Sharon Osbourne are blasting the culture after her controversial departure from the CBS talk show “The Talk”.
During the Friday night interview, Maher lamented how everyone today appears to be “a traitor”, but also confronted Osbourne with allegations that she used derogatory language about former co-hosts of “Talk.”
“We don’t condone foul language anywhere, but I’m just saying – first of all we’re talking about four ladies,” said Maher. “I know men are dogs, and men are dogs …”
“And we’re b —- es,” Osbourne interrupted. ‘And so it goes, so it goes. We’ll go, ‘Jesus, did you see what she was just wearing? And then you go, ‘Oh hi, you look great.’ You know, we are b —- es and so it is. And this has brought it all out. “

Osbourne told Maher she “never” took advantage of the insults of her former “Talk” co-host Leah Remini, who claimed that Osbourne referred to Julie Chen as a “wonton” and “slanty eyes” and Sara Gilbert a “p -” – – licker “and” fish eater. “
She maintained that such terms were “not in my vocabulary.”
“They are disgruntled ladies,” said Osbourne.
Maher suggested that any disputes Osbourne had had with her co-hosts might not have been her “ best hour. ”
“We can’t judge everyone at their worst moment,” Maher later told her. “Maybe you’ve lost your cool.”
But he protested the idea that Osbourne should “re-educate” herself rather than simply offering a heartfelt apology for any wrongdoing she might have caused.
“How about, ‘I shouldn’t do that, I won’t do it again,'” he said. ‘I mean, you apologized for this and it was like reading it to words like,’ I’m going to re-educate myself. ‘ No, of course we could all do better … but this idea and this culture now that people need to ‘re-educate’ themselves, indoctrinate themselves …
‘I’m sorry, I’m 65, you’re 68. I know who I am! I don’t need re-education, ”Maher continued. “You need re-education? 68, you’ve been all over the world, you’ve been married to a rock star, you’ve been to all the A-listers and rock ‘n’ roll. Like, f — ’em. As you need have: “Race, tell me all about it.” It’s fantasy. “
BILL MAHER BLASTS CANCEL CULTURE TURNED ‘EXECUTION SUMMARY’: ‘WHAT HAPPENED WITH ACCEPTING AN APOLOGY?’
In terms of canceling culture, Osbourne insisted it will be okay, but expressed concern about others who cannot defend themselves.
“I’m a fighter, I’m fine, I’m fine … but what about the people who have been cut from their knees and who cannot afford to get ‘lessons’ on what is politically correct and how with people talk? ”she said. “What is happening to them?
“It’s not fair, it’s not fair, because it’s not about being racist, it’s about you might not know what is correct and wake up that day to your language because it changes from day to day – which is correct. is and what is not. “
Maher and Osbourne then piled on Robin DiAngelo’s book, “White Fragility,” which is billed as a guide to teaching white people how to be anti-racist – but which critics say only fuels more racism.

“You have two choices if you’re white, you’re either a racist – or a racist and you don’t know. I’m not happy about that,” said Maher. ‘I know who raised me, I know who my friends are. I know how I’ve treated people. ‘
“And this thing is, you can’t cover any race,” Osbourne told Maher. ‘You can’t … there is good and bad in every race. You don’t cover. ‘
