Sharon Osbourne’s co-hosts accuse her of being racist and homophobic
The host of 'The Talk' is in more hot water after her co-hosts accused her of being racist and homophobic.
'The Talk' has been taken off air for another week after co-hosts of Sharon Osbourne accused her of being racist and homophobic.
CBS confirmed that 'The Talk' would be taking a brief break while the network conducts an internal investigation into the argument.
A heated debate between Osbourn and Sheryl Underwood took place on the show after Osbourne defended her friend, Piers Morgan, who has been criticising the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, on social media for several years.

Osbourne asked Underwood to explain when Morgan had been racist in his discussion of Markle. Underwood said it was Morgan's tone rather than his words, saying he was questioning her experience during the tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Osbourne's defence led to an intense debate with Underwood, who pushed back on Osbourne's downplaying of Morgan's comments.

Co-hosts of Osbourne accused her of being racist and homophobic to former co-hosts.
Sources state that Osbourne has a long record of insulting the race and sexual orientation of former 'The Talk' co-hosts like Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert.
Multiple sources, including former co-host Leah Remini, said Osbourne referred to Chen, who is Chinese American, as “wonton” and “slanty eyes,” and to Gilbert, who is lesbian, as “p*ssy licker” and “fish eater.”
