Well, that’s one way to proceed.
We are told that Sharon Osbourne did not tune in to “The Talk” when it returned on Monday after it took almost a month after an on-air exchange over race went haywire.
Former co-host Osbourne had drawn fire during the March exchange for requiring her black co-hosts to “ teach ” her about race after defending boyfriend Piers Morgan for allegedly racist comments he made about Meghan Markle.
In the new episode, Sheryl Underwood revealed she suffered from PTSD after Osbourne assaulted her on-air, while co-host Elaine Welteroth said Osbourne’s comments “derailed disrespectfully.”
But Osbourne – who left the show after an investigation into the incident – heard nothing of it, we’re told.
‘She hasn’t seen the show. She doesn’t care. It’s really behind her. That’s not what her life is about, ”an insider told Page Six.
She doesn’t dwell on sh-t. Too many exciting things are happening in her life, ”said the source.
But that doesn’t mean Osbourne is done talking about the race row. In fact, she’s scheduled to appear in ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ on Friday, where she plans to ‘discuss her ideals’ rather than give a ‘gossip’ play-by-play about the events that took place. are finished. her performance at ‘The Talk’.
She’s thrilled. Bill has been through the same thing as her, where he was fired for being outspoken, so she’s very happy to be on the show with someone she thinks will be empathetic, ”the source said.
Osbourne will go one-on-one with Maher – who was canned by ABC nearly 20 years ago after saying the 9/11 hijackers weren’t cowards – early in the show.
“Presidents, prime ministers, speakers of the house — the most senior officials in the government have done it [that opening segment of the show], so she’s very honored to be asked, ”said the source.
