‘The Talk’: Sharon Osbourne Reveals if She’s Coming Back After the Hiatus
The future of The Talk has been up in the air this week. The show has been on hiatus since host Sharon Osbourne got into a heated argument withĀ her co-host Sheryl Underwood while defending Piers Morgan and his comments about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Now that the show is on an extended hiatus, Osbourne has revealed if sheās planning on returning to The Talk after the break.

Sharon Osbourneās argument with Sheryl Underwood
Morgan received backlash after he made light of Meghanās comments about her mental health and wanting to harm herself during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. When his Good Morning Britain co-host Alex Beresford tried to confront him about it on air, Morgan walked off the set and ultimately left the job.
Osbourne later defended Morgan on Twitter.
āI am with you. I stand by you,ā she wrote. āPeople forget that youāre paid for your opinion and that youāre just speaking your truth.ā
On The Talk, Underwood confronted Osbourne about her support of Morgan and she immediately became defensive.
āI donāt know what heās uttered thatās racist,ā Osbourne said. āIām not trying to slide out of this one. Tell me, what has he uttered thatās racist? I feel like Iām about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist.ā
The show quickly cut to commercial break but after the break, Osbourne doubled down on her defense.
āI will ask you again, Sheryl,ā Osbourne said. āIāve been asking you during the break. And donāt try and cry because if anyone should be crying, it should be me. This is the situation: You tell me where you have heard him say racist things. Educate me.ā
Will Sharon Osbourne be back on āThe Talkā?
After the show aired, Osbourne tweeted an apology to āanyone of colorā that she offended or ālet down.ā
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Osbourne revealed that she felt āset upā by the whole altercation. She said the other women āhad preparation, they had written questions for them.āĀ
āSheryl turns around and asks me this question andā¦.she was reading it off a card,ā Osbourne said. āIt wasnāt on my cards. And then Elaine [Welteroth]ās reading her questions and Iām like, āIāve been set up.ā Theyāre setting me up. My anger was like, I cannot believe this, Iām your sacrificial lamb.ā
Now, Osbourne isnāt sure if she wants to return to The Talk or not.
āI wish we could go on and have a adult conversation calmly and work it out but I donāt know whether we can,ā she told the outlet. āI donāt know whether itās gone past that. I would love to but I donāt know whether I even want to go back. ⦠I donāt know whether Iām wanted there.ā
