Sharon Osbourne is "angry" over her The Talk exit, blames ouster on "disgruntled" ex-colleagues

Variety

Osbourne appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher Friday night to speak out for the first time since CBS said she "decided to leave The Talk" on March 26. Osbourne confirmed that she was ousted, and blamed Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete -- who made allegations that she used slurs during their time on The Talk -- calling them "disgruntled ladies." "I'm angry, I'm hurt," she said when Maher asked how she's been feeling since her exit. "I've been called so many things in my life… but a racist is one thing I will not take." Osbourne also railed against cancel culture, one of Maher's pet peeves, saying: “I’m doing just fine. What about the people that are cut from the knees down who can’t afford to get lessons now on what’s politically correct? What happens to them? It’s not fair. It isn’t about being a racist. It’s maybe not knowing what is correct and woke for your language that day. It changes from day to day what is correct.”
