Last week, Osbourne stood up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/piers-morgan-walks-off-his-live-morning-show-after-row-with-co-host-over-meghan-markle\">Morgan<\/a>, former cohost of \u201cGood Morning Britain,\u201d after he said he \u201cdidn\u2019t believe a word\u201d of Meghan Markle\u2019s March 7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-blasted-for-airing-royal-familys-dirty-laundry-in-oprah-interview-whine-athon\">interview<\/a> with Oprah Winfrey. Markle had claimed that Buckingham Palace barred her from seeking treatment for suicidal thoughts and accused an unnamed royal of racist behavior.<\/p>\n<p>CBS placed \u201cThe Talk\u201d on hiatus for two days following Osbourne\u2019s defense of Morgan, which one of her cohosts suggested was racist. The network has since extended the break until next week as it investigates Osbourne\u2019s comments. Osbourne claims that the scandal was orchestrated against her by producers.<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne said that the questions asked her by \u201cThe Talk\u201d cohosts \u201chad preparation, they had written questions for them.\u201d She said she that a show runner had asked her beforehand whether she was comfortable talking about Morgan, but that she was never warned about the accusatory tone the questions took during the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSheryl [Underwood] turns around and asks me this question and \u2026 she was reading it off a card. It wasn\u2019t on my cards. And then Elaine [Welteroth]\u2019s reading her questions and I\u2019m like, I\u2019ve been set up. They\u2019re setting me up. My anger was like, I cannot believe this, I\u2019m your sacrificial lamb,\u201d Osbourne told Entertainment Tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne questioned whether she will return to the show when it is scheduled to come off its extended break on Tuesday next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish we could go on and have a adult conversation calmly and work it out but I don\u2019t know whether we can,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s gone past that. I would love to but I don\u2019t know whether I even want to go back. \u2026 I don\u2019t know whether I\u2019m wanted there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the controversial episode that sparked Osbourne\u2019s troubles, allegations have surfaced against the talk show host claiming that she has routinely used racist and derogatory language to refer to her fellow cohosts. Leah Remini, who cohosted on \u201cThe Talk\u201d with Osbourne when the show began in 2010 until Remini left the next year, <a href=\"https:\/\/yashar.substack.com\/p\/exclusive-sharon-osbourne-frequently\">told<\/a> independent journalist Yashar Ali that Osbourne had referred to her as a WOP and Guinea, racial slurs for Italians.<\/p>\n<p>Remini also claimed that Osbourne called Julie Chen, cohost of \u201cThe Talk\u201d from 2010 to 2018, \u201cWonton\u201d and \u201cSlanty Eyes,\u201d in reference to her Asian ancestry. Osbourne allegedly derided former \u201cThe Talk\u201d co-host and executive producer Sara Gilbert, a lesbian, as \u201cp**** licker\u201d and \u201cfish eater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne\u2019s publicist Howard Bragman responded to Remini\u2019s claims in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing worse than a disgruntled former employee is a disgruntled former talk show host. For 11 years Sharon has been kind, collegial and friendly with her hosts as evidenced by throwing them parties, inviting them to her home in the UK and other gestures of kindness too many to name,\u201d Bragman said. \u201cSharon is disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies, the recasting of history and the bitterness coming out at this moment. She will survive this, as she always has and her heart will remain open and good, because she refuses to let others take her down. She thanks her family, friends and fans for standing by her and knowing her true nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Former cohost Holly Robinson, who is black, wrote on Twitter that Osbourne had called her \u201cghetto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too \u2018ghetto\u2019 for #theTalk\u2026then I was gone,\u201d Robinson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hollyrpeete\/status\/1370428336028090372\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cI bring this up now bc I was mortified watching the disrespectful condescending tone she took w\/her co host who remained calm &amp; respectful because\u2026she HAD to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Osbourne put out a statement that same day apologizing for her comments on \u201cThe Talk\u201d relating to Morgan, distancing herself from Morgan\u2019s comments on Markle but insisting that she still supports free speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease hear me when I say I do not condone racism, misogyny, or bullying,\u201d Osbourne said. \u201cI will always support freedom of speech, but now I see how I unintentionally didn\u2019t make that clear distinction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sharon-osbourne-stood-up-for-piers-morgan-now-her-talk-show-is-on-hold-and-shes-under-investigation\">Sharon Osbourne Stood Up For Piers Morgan.
