Sharon Osbourne is breaking her silence in regard to her forced exit from the daytime talk show, The View.
E! News reports that in an interview with Fox and Friends, Osbourne got candid: "I've worked in this industry for 50 years, actually, 55... I didn't want that to be the end of my career, and I thought it was unfair."
E! News reports her exit from the show came after she defended Pierce Morgan in regard to controversial comments made about the Duchess of Sussex, Megan Markle. They say that during the show, Sheryl Underwood called the comments racist, which in turn sparked a heated discussion between her and Osbourne. E! News reports this sparked an "internal review" which ultimately led to Osbourne's exit from the show.
Osbourne said the whole thing was an "ambush." She went on to say, "Of course it was. Why would you advertise that we're talking about this, that and the other and suddenly it's 20 minutes of me? ... I was this lamb that was slaughtered that morning, and CBS denied responsibility on the news...That's because they're wankers and a--holes."
According to E! News, during the "internal review" Holly Robinson-Pete said Osbourne said she was "too ghetto" to be on The Talk, and Leah Remini also claimed Osbourne used "racially charged language" when speaking about Julie Chen.
E! says that in a statement from Osbourne's rep, they not only denied the allegations but went on to say "The only thing worse than a disgruntled former employee is a disgruntled former talk show host."
