Donald Trump Jr. says it’s “insane”. CBS has put “The Talk” on hold as they investigate a heated exchange between Sharon Osbourne and co-host Sheryl Underwood.
The show announced on Monday that they were canceling their live shows until Wednesday to look at the dust development, which took place after Osbourne defended longtime boyfriend Piers Morgan, who accused Meghan Markle of lying in her recent Oprah everything.
“This is going to be insane!” Don Jr., 43, wrote next to a tweet from Morgan. “Now other shows are being pulled off the air because someone who really knows someone else doesn’t believe they are racist, simply because someone else accused them of it without any basis, simply because he didn’t believe someone else. Understood?!?”
Morgan, 55, wrote on Monday of controversy, “So @CBShas ripped The Talk off the air as it investigates the @MrsSOsbourne ‘scandal’ that defended me when @sherylunderwood said I was ‘racist’ because I didn’t believe Meghan Markle. The REAL scandal is that I am being labeled a racist because I refuse to believe a liar. “
The drama first unfolded last week when Morgan walked away from “Good Morning Britain” during a debate with co-host Alex Beresford over Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Shortly afterwards, Morgan announced that he would be leaving the show for good.
His old friend Osbourne defended him shortly afterwards, tweeting, “I’m with you. I will assist you. People forget that you are being paid for your opinion and that you are just speaking your truth. “
Then, on an episode of ‘The Talk’, Osbourne said, ‘I liked everything [Morgan] said? Did I agree with what he said? No, because it is his opinion. It’s not my opinion. But how is it that since I’ve been supporting an old friend and colleague of mine for years, everyone is going, if you support him, you have to be racist because he’s racist? “
Underwood replied that “the implication” of Morgan firing Markle was racist, rather than the words themselves.
After the debate, Osbourne posted a lengthy apology, saying she “does not condone racism, misogyny or bullying.”
In response, Morgan, reportedly “thriving from the turmoil,” tried to demand his own apology from CBS.
