As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon\u2019s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the same time, we acknowledge the Network and Studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>During this week\u2019s hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Osbourne is reportedly receiving a payout from the network as high as $10 million amid her departure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSharon is walking away with a $5 to $10 million minimum payout and was able to spin that it was her decision [to leave the show],\u201d a source told <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2021\/03\/29\/sharon-osbourne-exits-the-talk-with-payout-of-up-to-10-million\/\">Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another source told the outlet that Osbourne is leaving the show without a non-disclosure agreement and is free to talk about her departure and any other part of her 11-year career cohosting \u201cThe Talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSharon will talk when she is ready,\u201d the source told Page Six. \u201cShe still wants to give her side of the story.
