Holly Robinson Peete of The Talk says Sharon Osbourne said she was too “ghetto”

The (purely metaphorical, we should probably note for legal reasons) sulfurous stench that we typically associate with Piers Morgan opening his mouth and letting things out spread further and further away this week as it now begins to engulf and slowly begin to corrode the glaze of CBS’s daytime talk series The conversationThis is, unsurprisingly, thanks to Sharon Osbourne, who has been with the series from the start and decided to spend some of her seemingly tireless celebrity endurance reserves defending Morgan earlier this week. after the first. Good morning Great Britain host was typically himself re: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent Oprah interview.

Osbourne’s defense of Morgan ‘speaking his truth’ led one of her former colleagues to resurface her own personal truth, which is to say that Holly Robinson Peete spoke on social media today to remind the world of the time when Osbourne went to reportedly declared her and Leah Remini too “ghetto” for the show, and reportedly tilted to let them go The conversation(Robinson Peete and Remini both only lasted one season with the series, which has been running since 2010.)

Robinson Peete was specifically moved to post on this topic because of a heated conversation Osbourne had with co-host Sheryl Underwood during the show’s episode on Wednesday, where she stated, “I feel like I’m about to get into the electric chair because I have a friend who a lot of people think is racist, so that makes me a racist. ”She also demanded that Underwood ‘teach me’ about what exactly is called racism in Morgan’s statements because nothing appeals to an alliance for the black community like the demand that a black woman educate you about the existence of racism.

Either way: Osbourne did apologize via Twitter today for her defense of Morgan, stating that at the time she felt ‘panicked and blinded’ and was ‘on the defensive’.CBS noted that Wednesday’s episode of The conversation is currently undergoing an internal evaluationThat would all be well and good (for a very low definition of good and good), except that the whole incident prompted Morgan to open his mouth again, and behold, the (metaphorical) A tidal wave of stench swept across the land again, ruining children’s birthday parties and forcing the stinking scent of nonsense six inches through all people’s noses. There is no need to reprint the exact content of his fabricated outrage– gaffe, demands for apologies, etc. – but assume this story will never end and be the last thing left on Earth after we all drown in Piers Morgan’s irrepressible and unfathomable Stink.
