After Osbourne tweeted a message in support of Morgan saying he ‘speaks your truth’, Sheryl Underwood, co-host of The Talk, asked Osbourne what she would say to those who view her support for Morgan as racist.
The question led to a tense discussion between the two, in which Osbourne denied that he was racist and that ‘a terrible, evil word. ‘
Maher asked Osbourne on Friday how she was doing almost a month after she left the program.
“I’m angry, I’m hurt,” she replied, adding that she was a fighter. ‘
Later, Maher said of Morgan, ‘He was called a racist and lost his job, and you were called a racist and lost your job. Am I right? ”
“You got it right,” Osbourne replied. “That’s exactly how it went.”
‘Who is the racist and why? That is what I am trying to find out, ”said Maher.
“Me too,” Osbourne replied. ‘I’ve been called so many things in my life. I’m so used to being called names, but a racist is one I will not take. ‘
After the incident last month, Osbourne claims she is ‘set’ by her co-host on the question about Morgan, which CBS later denied in a statement. The network said that an internal review “found no evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blinded any of the hosts. ”
CBS announced late last month that Osbourne, the last of the day’s original presenters, was leaving the program after executives’concluded that Sharon’s behavior towards her co-host during the March 10 episode did not match our values for a respectful workplace. ”
Osbourne also briefly commented on Friday on the allegations reported by journalist Yashar Ali who used the co-host racist and homophobic insults when she talks to her co-host. Osbourne’s then-publicist Howard Bragman at the time said the allegations were “lies”, and the co-host added on Friday that the reports of ‘disgruntled ladies’ were coming.
