Sharon Osbourne Claims That Sheryl Underwood Was Forced To Undergo Anger Management Classes By CBS
By now you must remember how Sharon Osbourne lost her gig on The Talk in March after she and her co-host Sheryl Underwood got into it on the show while talking about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Sharon defended her longtime pal, Piers Morgan, over his comments about Meghan Markle and Sheryl and Sharon got into it about that. So Sharon has decided to rectify all of that by going on *checks notes* Megyn Kelly‘s SiriusXM show, and claiming that Sheryl had to complete “anger management” courses. Sharon also says that the female showrunners who fired her were “weak, weak women.” So in other words, Sharon Osbourne is still mad.
After the on-air fight between Sharon and Sheryl, Sharon was reportedly investigated by CBS due to other racial bullshit she may have said about former co-hosts Holly Robinson Peete and Julie Chen, as well as co-host Elaine Welteroth. It was reported that Sharon got a $10 million payout (which was disputed) and walked away.
Page Six says that one of Sheryl’s issues with the altercation with Sharon was she didn’t want to be labeled an “angry Black woman.” And Sharon has done just that in her new interview with Megyn.
“[Sheryl] had three complaints about her from different producers about the way she treated them… So they sent her to anger management… None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes… And I’m not saying that Sheryl was a terrible person because she treated producers the way she did… So, it’s alright to treat produces that way, but I can’t say anything to a co-host.”
Sharon also brought up Les Moonves’ fall from grace at CBS over his alleged sexual misconduct which went on for years. Sharon seems to suggest her firing was to keep her quiet about that.
Osbourne confesses that during a meeting with HR about her own behavior, she told them “about some dirt that had gone on at the company that I knew about. And they were very afraid of me because I’m not afraid to say what I feel. And they just wanted me gone. Because when I started talking about things that had gone on on the show before, they got very, very nervous.”
She cryptically calls out Moonves, who left after a sex scandal, saying, “The way people were treated when Leslie was at the show. . . Things that had gone down that I knew personally.” She did not add any details.
Sharon also went after the head of CBS Daytime, Amy Reisenbach, and showrunners of The Talk, Heather Gray, and Kristin Matthews.
“I think that the showrunners were doing what Amy had told them to do. Weak, weak women, that didn’t have a backbone to turn around and say, “This is suicidal. We can’t do this.” And to let it go after the break, so it was 20 minutes on national TV of bashing me. Twenty minutes… They just–it blindsided me… They were friends of mine, especially Kristin Matthews. And I told them that they’ve destroyed me. I told them I will never be able to get over this. It’s like, once you have that seed put on you, that you are a racist, it never goes away. I told them they destroyed me.”
Here’s Sharon’s interview with Megyn:
Yeah, they destroyed her! Look at Sharon now! She can only book gigs on Bill Maher‘s show and with Megyn Kelly and she’s still friends with Piers, so she could always go on his new Fox News show. Poor thing! How will she survive such a punishment!
