Hosts of CBS’s “The Talk” will be silent for the next few days following an internal review of a heated exchange between two co-hosts about British personality Piers Morgan, a CBS spokesperson confirmed.
Sharon Osbourne, reality star and wife to rocker Ozzy Osbourne, and comedian Sheryl Underwood got into a profanity-laced discussion about racism and Morgan’s intense criticism of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on Wednesday.
The unraveling began when Underwood asked Osbourne about her friend Morgan, whom Underwood has accused of being brutally critical of Meghan with racial undertones.
“What would you say to people who may feel that, while you’re standing by your friend, it appears that you give validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don’t agree,” Underwood said.
Osbourne asked Underwood to clarify racist comments from Morgan and said she felt like she was being placed in “the electric chair” for having a friend people think is racist. Her obscenity-laced rebuttal appeared to startle co-host Elaine Welteroth, who flinched and sat back in her chair.
Then Osbourne asked, “How can I be racist to anybody or anything in my life? How can I?” she asked, turning her head to Underwood, a Black woman.
Underwood, who was anchoring the show that day, turned to the camera and tried to segue to a commercial break, but Osbourne continued to nip with a response that was largely inaudible because of the bleeped language.
Osbourne’s behavior drew backlash from viewers who believed she was weaponizing her privilege as a White woman to silence a woman of color.One more photo below.
