‘Entertainment Tonight’ presenter Kevin Frazier suggested that a number of prominent black women gather in Hollywood to help Sharon Osbourne learn ‘race’.
It slapped him spectacularly.
Frazier interviewed Osbourne on Tuesday about the consequences of her explosive discussion on the air with her co-host of The Talk, Sheryl Underwood, who saw the program taken off the air pending an investigation.
He posted a photo of the chat on Instagram featuring Osbourne and Underwood as well as former ‘Talk’ co-host Holly Robinson Peete, who accused Osbourne of calling her ‘ghetto’, and the actress and outspoken lawyer Amanda Seales, racial justice, marked. He also spotted Meghan Markle, who was the subject of the heated argument with Underwood, and ‘Bachelor’ host Chris Harrison, who was embroiled in his own racial scandal.
He suggested that they have a ‘summit’ and said: ‘At some point we all need to reach a point where we can sit down together and have a difficult conversation about race. I do not know what will happen next for Sharon Osbourne, but I know it’s time for a meaningful conversation, a learning moment. She’s ready. ‘
Osbourne likes the report, but it did not go well with several black actresses, including Seale, an ‘uncertain’ star.
‘You certainly should not think. How much effort have you put into providing a safe space for those featured on the program by her rampant racism / classicism / xenophobia, ‘she replies.
Frazier shot back: “Do this for years … I wanted to hear your thoughts, so I noticed you, I respect your opinion and do not try to get a mess.”
“Well, you missed the point this time, BROTHA,” Seales said.
Meanwhile, Sherri Shepherd has sarcastically said she “Osbourne’s” public apology “to Underwood and another former co-host Julie Chen Moonves, who she said was accused of being” wonton “and” slanty-eyes “, which Osbourne denies Shepherd added: “Do not think Sharon is almost ready.”
Frazier eventually deleted the message. On Wednesday, he tried to make his intentions clear. ‘I suggested there was a place in the mainstream where people (like Sheryl and Holly) could express their feelings without being muffled or muzzled (and I can tell you that there were people who worked to mute Hollys. [sic] vote after she left), ”he said.
Peete, who believes Osbourne may have worked hand in hand in 2011 to get her fired from the program, appreciated the follow-up post.
“Thank you for acknowledging the way I was treated after I let ‘The Talk’ go in such an unnecessary, friendly way. Sharon was a part of it. She knows it. No matter what she says. Now everything is coming out and I do not think she is close to being ‘ready’ for any form of liability. That’s just my opinion, ”she said.
Seales, on the other hand, re-posted his original post and told him, ‘Cut the kumbaya tactic. It’s so easy to protect black women. ”
‘It’s not the responsibility of black people to educate white people about how they can not be trash. Ok they [bleeping] made up racism. Why the [bleep] we have to teach you how not to be racist, ‘she said in a five-minute video. “To expect us to do this and as a black person try to bring people together in space is … just foolish and does not respect our time and our energy.”
She added that Underwood and Robinson Pete ‘were the biggest point of this woman’s racist folly’, and said: ‘so actually you’re asking the victims to get a nice little sit with their attacker so this bitch can feel better ? No, we are not in the rehabilitation that white people train. ”
A rep for “ET” and Frazier did not comment.
