Sharon Osbourne, unsure if she’s ‘wanted there,’ might not return to ‘The Talk’
LA TimesSharon Osbourne, long the “big girl with the big voice” at “The Talk,” doesn’t know if she’ll return after the network finishes its investigation of last week’s racially fueled dustup over her defense of Piers Morgan. Last Wednesday, Osbourne said, a producer asked her if she would “clear up the Piers thing again” even if “maybe one of them doesn’t agree with you.” But she didn’t expect Welteroth to bring up antiracism and she didn’t expect Underwood to imply she was giving cover to racism. I’m your sacrificial lamb.” Osbourne did admit to “having a go” at Underwood, her friend of 11 years, including when she told Underwood “don’t try and cry,” reserving that right for herself. Morgan, who was promptly accused of racism for his responses to Meghan and Prince Harry’s Oprah Winfrey interview, quit “Good Morning Britain,” the TV show he cohosted, after abruptly walking off set last week.
