BEVERLY HILLS, March 27, (THEWILL) – Popular, American TV host, Sharon Osbourne has exited “The Talk.”
This was announced in a statement released by CBS saying that Osbourne’s outburst on national TV was disturbing to everyone involved, as well as the audience watching at home.
The statement said: “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave ‘The Talk,’ The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s 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. 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.
“During this week’s 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.”
Osbourne’s exit came after a few weeks when the network had announced that the talk show would suspend filming while it looked into the allegations that the atmosphere was “racially insensitive.”
