Sharon Osbourne Blasts ‘The Talk’ Showrunners For Being ‘Weak Women’
Sharon Osbourne is not backing down after being ousted from The Talk!
Osbourne blasted the head of CBS Daytime Amy Reisenbach and showrunners Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews onThe Megyn Kelly Show,” placing blame on them for destroying her career.
“I think that the showrunners were doing what Amy had told them to do. Weak, weak women, that didn’t have a backbone to turn around and say, ‘This is suicidal. We can’t do this,’” Osbourne said. “And to let it go after the break, so it was 20 minutes on national TV of bashing me. Twenty minutes … They just — it blindsided me.”
Osbourne added that she had known the showrunners for over tean years and they were supposed to be friends.
“They were friends of mine, especially Kristin Matthews. And I told them that they’ve destroyed me,” she added. “I told them I will never be able to get over this. It’s like, once you have that seed put on you, that you are a racist, it never goes away. I told them they destroyed me.”

“And at the time, I did have on my socials, people complaining that I shouldn’t have supported Piers and that made me look like a racist, but I don’t think that anybody complained to the FCC,” Osbourne said. “I don’t think that I was out of order by dealing with it the way that I did, because I was talking to a friend of 11 years.
“I was talking to a woman that I’ve traveled with, that I’ve worked with, that I sat beside for 11, well, it’s actually, she was there for 10 seasons. So for 10 seasons, I had sat next to this woman. She was a family friend. And then boom, she puts me on the hot seat talking about racism, and she knows my history. She knows me. She knows I’m not a racist.”
As we reported, Sharon left The Talk back in March following the controversy.
