During an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, the former talk show host expressed her feelings since her departure amid the controversy surrounding the show. “I’m angry, I’m hurt. I’ve been called so many things in my life… but a racist is one thing I will not take,” she told Maher. CBS confirmed the news of Osbourne’s exit on March 26, several days after she defended Piers Morgan and had an intense argument with former co-host Sheryl Underwood.

Additionally, Osbourne was accused of creating a hostile work environment along with allegedly using racist language towards Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, Sara Gilbert, and Julie Chen.

As we previously reported, Osbourne has issued an apology for her behavior in the workplace and denied all allegations of racism.

“There are very few things that hurt my heart more than racism so to feel associated with that spun me fast. I am not perfect, I am still learning like the rest of us & will continue to learn, listen and do better. I hope we can all hold each other up with accountability, compassion & love during this powerful time of paving the way for so much needed change.”
