Sharon Osbourne apologizes: My defense of Piers Morgan doesn't mean I condone racism, misogyny and bullying
-
"To anyone of color that I offended and/or to anyone that feels confused or let down by what I said, I am sorry," Osbourne wrote in a statement posted to Twitter late Thursday, following her emotional discussion on The Talk Wednesday over her defense of Morgan's comments about Meghan Markle. Osbourne added: "I panicked, felt blindsided, got defensive & allowed my fear & horror of being accused of being racist take over...Please hear me when I say I do not condone racism, misogyny or bullying. I should have been more specific about that in my tweet. I will always support freedom of speech, but now I see how I unintentionally didn't make that clear distinction."
