Sheryl Underwood Addresses Sharon Osbourne Leaving ‘The Talk’

“I don’t know anything but what I’ve been through with them, and what happened disappoints me,” said Underwood. And maybe people don’t want to hear me say, ‘I still love the Osbournes. “I’m not saying I enjoyed being treated the way I was treated. Let me be clear: I am very disappointed, and I am just trying to navigate my feelings about it because it was trauma. ‘

On the March 10 episode of “The Talk”, Osbourne had an intense debate with Underwood about Osbourne’s support of her longtime friend and former “America’s Got Talent” co-star Piers Morgan.

Osbourne demanded that Underwood give examples of when Morgan had been racist; was visibly upset during the exchange; and warned Underwood against crying, saying that if anyone were to cry it would be Osbourne.

Osbourne later tweeted an apology, saying she “panicked,” “felt blind,” and then became “defensive” during the conversation.

After the episode, CBS announced that an internal review would take place and that the show was on a production break.

Shortly afterward, an article appeared in which Leah Remini, the former ‘Talk’ co-host and several unnamed sources, accused Osbourne of racist and homophobic language about her colleagues.

CNN has not independently verified the claims, but a Remini spokesperson confirmed the accuracy of its statements and declined further comment.

Underwood said she “heard things” before she started working on the show, but said, “In this industry, you have all kinds of personalities.”

On March 26, CBS announced that Osbourne would be leaving the show.

Underwood said she hasn’t spoken to Osbourne since their meeting.

A spokesman for Osbourne gave a “no comment” when contacted by CNN.

“The Talk” returns on March 12 without Osbourne.
