Sharon Osbourne Swung By “Real Time With Bill Maher” To Complain About Getting Fired By “The Talk”
It’s been about three weeks since CBS decided that Sharon Osbourne’s antagonistic outburst aimed at Sheryl Underwood wasn’t the kind of talk anyone wanted to see on The Talk, and they sent her on her way, with or without a $10 million parting gift (it’s still unclear). Well, Sharon found a soft place to land after her problematic ass was kicked out of the building, and it was over on Real Time with Bill Maher. As you can see from the image above, Sharon got emotional. “Oh, because she’s truly sorry for defending the hate that came out of Piers Morgan’s mouth while weaponizing a conversation on race against her Black co-hosts?” is what you might be thinking, and to that I will chuckle and say, no, Sharon got emotional because she believes she’s the victim of (scary organ music) cancel culture!
CBS Denies Reports That Sharon Osbourne Received $10 Million To Leave “The Talk”
Won’t you please hold some space in your heart for Sharon Osbourne? She is “bitterly disappointed,” according to Us Weekly. Last week, CBS parted ways with Sharon, the last original host of The Talk, after deciding that her on-air freak-out over her defense of Piers Morgan “did not align with [their] values for a respectful workplace.” You would think that the $5 million to $10 million consolation prize that she reportedly received would have sweetened her tea, but the lady’s still bitter. And possibly with good reason. She might not have gotten those millions of sugar cubes after all. According to Yahoo! Business, despite what was previously reported to Page Six, “CBS is completely denying this claim. They say it is untrue.” CBS maintains that Sharon “did this on her own accord.” Poor lady. She must be all puckered up inside.
Sharon Osbourne Reportedly Got Up To $10 Million For Her Exit From “The Talk”
It was announced last week that Sharon Osbourne, the last OG cast member of The Talk, was pretty much fired from the show for losing it on her co-host Sheryl Underwood while defending Piers Morgan. This led to an investigation that put the show on hiatus. And that investigation led to CBS giving Sharon the boot. Obviously, they handed her some cash to walk out the door. And now the rumor is that she was paid up to $10 million.
Sharon Osbourne Is Out At “The Talk”
Brace yourselves, Britain, because Sharon Osbourne could be back inside of you to join forces with her ride-or-die, Piers Morgan, for a show called Racial Issues Today on Rupert Murdoch’s new Fox News-like channel in the UK. Because Sharon is out of a job after she “made the decision to depart” The Talk. That’s how CBS puts it. It’s a very PR-way of saying, “We paid the trick to get the fuck out!” And with that, many are probably saying, “Now who’s ‘too ghetto‘ for the show?”
“The Talk” Is Taking Another Week Off As They Figure Out What To Do With Sharon Osbourne
And by “figure out what to do,” I mean that producers and executives are researching the strongest earplugs on the market because they’re going to need some to protect their hearing from Sharon Osbourne letting out a high-pitched screech when they fire her.
It’s been about a week-and-a-half since Sharon Osbourne became the Meghan McCain of The Talk, complete with an ensemble courtesy of Nordstrom’s line of clown clothes, when she lost it after her co-hosts, Sheryl Underwood and Elaine Welteroth, questioned her for supporting her friend Piers Morgan as he’s accused of racist harassment. Sharon went into full defensive mode, became the victim, cried at Sheryl to “educate” her, and actually said to Sheryl,” And don’t try and cry because if anyone should be crying, it should be me!” The Talk immediately went on hiatus to “investigate” that mess, and well, I’ve got sad news for the two people who actually watch that show. The Talk is taking another week off to deal with the problem that is Sharon Osbourne.
“The Talk” Is Now On Extended Hiatus As Leah Remini Reports On Sharon’s Past Racist And Homophobic Talk
Don’t bother looking for a new episode of The Talk today, CBS hasn’t decided if Sharon Osbourne’s continued employment is compatible with having “a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace” just yet. According to Sharon’s former co-host Leah Remini, it sure as hell wasn’t back when she was on the show. Entertainment Tonight reports that Leah told journalist Yashar Ali that Sharon “frequently” used racist and homophobic language when talking about co-hosts Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert. Leah also backed up Holly Robinson Peete’s claims that Sharon used the word “ghetto” and says that Sharon also referred to her “as a WOP and Guinea.” Meanwhile, Sharon still insists she’s not racist in the least, so it looks like CBS has got a real mystery on their hands!
