Sharon Osbourne says she “would never come back” to The Talk because “CBS is a nasty doll.”
The 69-year-old woman was recorded in front of the Erewhon market in West Hollywood on Thursday, where she could not help but tell TMZ what she really thinks about the show and the network she works for.
Sharon, who was fired from The Talk in March 2021, said that even if she was asked to return, she would not be interested.
“No, I would never go back to this show. “CBS is a nasty big doll,” she said.

Sharon was walking to her car with her husband Ozzy when a paparazzi shouted if any of them would return to work this year, with Sharon shrugging.
Her comment about never returning to The Talk came after the paparazzi asked, “Sharon, do you think about everything that happened to Upie Goldberg?” [on The View] that you have to get your job back?

“Um … hey, listen, it happened.” I do not care. I honestly don’t care. It’s not like I need that, “she said.
Asked if she was retiring, however, she said, “Damn, no!”
Sharon has dropped out after 11 seasons last March amid a network investigation into allegations that she made racist comments.
The drama erupted in a show on March 10, 2021, during which Sharon defended the comments Pierce Morgan made about Megan Markle, and things soon heated up between her and host Cheryl Underwood.
Sharon ended her conversation after 11 seasons last March amid a network investigation into allegations that she made racist comments.
The drama erupted in a show on March 10, 2021, during which Sharon defended the comments Pierce Morgan made about Megan Markle.
During the discussion, Sharon asked host Cheryl Underwood, “Train me, tell me when you hear him say racist things.” so that makes me a racist?
The moment was controversial, and Sharon later apologized.
“I really feel sorry for anyone of color that I have offended and / or anyone who feels confused or disappointed by what I have said,” she said in a statement. “I panicked, felt blinded, defended myself, and allowed my fear and horror to be accused of racism to take over.”
But then two former co-hosts appeared to accuse Sharon of racist and homophobic comments.
Holly Robinson Pete said Sharon called her “too ghetto” in front of producers, while Leah Remini said she heard Sharon say racist things about former presenter Julie Chen and homophobic things about The Talk creator Sarah Gilbert.
In September, Sharon gave her first in-depth interview since the incident to DailyMailTV, defending her comments on the show.
Sharon denied the allegations, but CBS launched an investigation and soon announced that Sharon was leaving the show.

“It was a matter of freedom of speech. It was pure freedom of speech, “Sharon told DailyMailTV. “A journalist friend of mine who wrote something that people don’t like, and then a few crazy people out there, some thugs say, ‘You must be a racist, that’s why you say that,’ about my friend Pierce. Anyway, come on.
Sharon claims that the seemingly impromptu moment was actually carefully organized by the show’s executive director, who wanted to create controversy without her knowing, telling co-hosts to ask her if people now consider her a racist.
“They all knew the issue and they all knew what was happening. I felt completely betrayed, “said Sharon.
What made the hat worse, she said, was that when Cheryl began to cry, Sharon told her to stop.
“We had disagreements and I told her she shouldn’t cry, I should cry and it didn’t go well,” she said. “At the time of the commercial break, she didn’t want to talk to me. I begged her to talk to me, but she didn’t, and I generally said, fuck you.
“It was a matter of freedom of speech. It was pure freedom of speech, “Sharon told DailyMailTV.
“I would tell that to each of my friends,” she explained. “When you say it to a friend, it’s different from telling it to someone you don’t know. If you can’t be real with someone you’ve worked with for 10 years, then you don’t have a friendship and that’s how I look at things.
After moving away from the now scandalous episode and the ensuing consequences, Sharon admitted that she was not happy with the reaction of the audience, the network, the producers or her co-hosts.
“Leaving me for 20 minutes live on TV … live on TV … unprepared, unproduced, without knowing what’s going on,” she recalls, shaking her head. “Wait, where’s their apology to me?” They could cut at any time and take an advertising break, but why didn’t they cut?
“They didn’t cut because they liked the argument and they liked everyone talking about it because they needed something for the show that was going to the bathroom,” she said. “So they thought she had the biggest followers. Let’s go for her.
“I felt completely betrayed, not protected by CBS. I felt used. I felt like an old shoe, “Sharon added. “They didn’t care.” This was the attitude and it was set by one of the leaders.

DailyMailTV asked CBS about Sharon’s accusations that it was created by executives. The network responded by repeating the same statement it made in March when the incident occurred.
“Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave the CONVERSATIONS,” the statement said. “The events of the March 10 show embarrassed 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 was inconsistent with our values for a respectable job. We also found no evidence that CBS executives organized the discussion or blinded any of the hosts.
The public reaction to Sharon’s comments about the episode was strong, quick and unforgiving.
“It was as if I went in there with a machine gun and threatened to kill someone,” she said. “It was not like coming in with T-shirts, with terrible slogans. I didn’t come in with a white hood, I don’t tell jokes about religion or color.
“Where is the forgiveness? Where is the second chance? So you’re saying something wrong. You’re not threatening anyone, but you’re saying something wrong. You go out, you go out, “she added.
The consequences were so severe that Sharon curled up at home, fearing how people might treat her in public. In addition, she and her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, began receiving constant death threats.
“I definitely went through a difficult period in the beginning. I found it uncomfortable. The humiliation that people would think I might be racist, “she admitted, adding that it was difficult to swallow the burqa in public.

“They were going to kill the family. They would come at night with knives, cut all our throats and animals. So I had all this, all the threats and we had to have 24-hour security.
“It’s like, listen, it’s about me, not me [Ozzy], not for my children. Everything you have to say about me, I can accept. Don’t start with my family. I mean, it’s … you can’t go lower.
Emotional stress has been crippling for some time. Sharon remembered going shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles with her eldest daughter, Amy, and had to leave because she was too worried about being around people.
Her good friend and former co-host of The Talk, Sarah Gilbert, suggested she try a unique form of therapy and recommended a doctor who treats with ketamine.
“I went through three months of therapy,” she said. “I was treated with ketamine and I managed to get out. All the tears and everything I felt, you know. All this is gone.
Ketamine, a drug used in anesthesia, can be used in small doses to treat forms of depression, according to Harvard.
She said that time, therapy and her family have helped her shake off her traumatic exit from The Talk and she is ready to move on.
“You know how this industry works – nothing is eternal and everyone is replaceable,” Sharon said. ‘Everyone.’
