Sharon Osbourne is officially out at “The Talk.” We’ve been keeping you up to date on the controversy surrounding her comments defending controversial pal Piers Morgan. CBS put the show on an extended hiatus as they investigated racism claims against her, and now the network has officially announced her exit for behavior that doesn’t “align with [their] values for a respectful workplace.”
As you may recall, Osbourne blasted CBS along with her co-hosts for “blindsiding” her so she’d look bad on the controversial March 10th episode. In a statement, CBS says they didn’t find “any evidence” that’s true. At the same time, CBS notes the network and crew are “accountable for what happened,” saying it’s “clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared” for the “complex and sensitive discussion involving race.”
Moving forward, CBS says all involved in “The Talk” will attend workshops and training about “equity, inclusion and cultural awareness.” Meanwhile, Morgan has defended Osbourne in a column for the “Daily Mail,” calling her a victim of “cancel culture” and her exit a “disgrace” to CBS.
