Sharon Osbourne Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ By Piers Morgan Segment On ‘The Talk’ ‘Begged Them To Stop’
Sharon Osbourne, 68, says she was “blinded” by her explosive on-air clash with Sheryl Underwood, 57, on the March 10 episode of The Talk. “I was blindsided, totally blindsided by the whole situation. In my 11 years, this was the first time I was not involved with the planning of the segment,” Sharon — who has been a host of the CBS talk show since its debut back in 2011 — said to Variety on March 13. She says she “begged them to stop, to please change the subject,” as they went to break during the first part of the fiasco, which involved her defense of Piers Morgan.
