UPDATE: Sharon Osbourne Apologizes For Defending Piers Morgan — He Reacts
#Socialites, get a load of this! Miss Sharon Osbourne is now apologizing after defending her good friend Piers Morgan and for demanding a definition of racism from co-host Sheryl Underwood on “The Talk.”
The 68-year-old co-host said she “panicked” and instantly “got defensive” when she believed she was being accused of being racist on her show, after she defended Morgan following his harsh comments about Meghan Markle.
In a statement posted to social media, Sharon wrote: “After some reflection, after sitting with your comments & sitting with my heart I would like to address the discussion on The Talk this past Wednesday. I have always been embraced with so much love & support from the black community & I have deep respect & love for the black community. To anyone of colour that I offended and/or to anyone that feels confused or let down by what I said, I am truly sorry.” She went on to say, “I panicked, felt blindsided, got defensive & allowed my fear & horror of being accused of being racist take over. 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.” Mr. Morgan is now speaking out and he’s also demanding an apology. Here’s what he tweets Friday morning:
“Sharon’s been shamed & bullied into apologising for defending me against colleagues accusing me of racism because I don’t believe Meghan Markle’s bullsh*t.
This is where we’ve reached.
I demand an apology from those @TheTalkCBS bullies for their disgraceful slurs against ME.”
