CBS says its daytime show “The Talk” will stay on hiatus for another week after a discussion about racism involving co-host Sharon Osbourne went off the rails last week.

FILE - Sharon Osbourne attends a special screening of "A Million Little Pieces" on Dec. 4, 2019, in Los Angeles. CBS says its daytime show "The Talk" will stay on hiatus for another week after a discussion about racism involving co-host Sharon Osbourne went off the rails last week. Osbourne reacted with anger and profanity when asked to talk about her support and friendship with British TV personality Piers Morgan.

The network said in a statement that it is committed to “a process where all voices are heard, claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary.” The emotional discussion continued after a commercial break. At one point Osbourne said to Underwood, “don’t try to cry. If anyone should be crying, it should be me.”

FireSharonOsbourne

If Sharon Osbourne had just behaved differently and didn’t try to shame a black woman on television for giving her room to clarify, she could have had the support of all POCs. It was an opportunity to shine or even redeem herself which she failed. sharonosbourneisnotavictim

Cancel the show

Just fired her already much like what the bachelor and abc did to Chris

Again, CBS why did you decide that a woman, who’s only known attributes, was managing a rock star that bit the heads off bats, was worth any person listening to or being given advice by? Seriously would love an explanation.

Your brain on drugs.

TenikkaANjax What’s The Talk?

If cackling hens is somehow 'racism'.....then racism is n't a big deal.

The Talk has been struggling with ratings and circling the bowl for a while now. Sharon's departure would be it's demise. Was this contrived? Hopefully not.

The new McCarthyism.

It could stay off forever and it wouldn't bother me at all. It's just a bunch of hens clucking and scratching and squawking at each other.

More like off the cliff into the bottom of the ocean.

Maybe people need to realise that being the spouse of someone who was famous doesn't make you smart. It just makes you the spouse of someone famous. She ain't that bright and shouldn't be in that position, her views are dictated by her intellugence

She’s racist

Just cancel the whole damn show.

Shut it down

Like mother like daughter

Witch hunt

Was it the words that she said or the fact that there was a kerfuffle with Piers Morgan. I’ve never had a problem with her opinion.

BobbyBigWheel accidental dril?

Just replay that inoffensive Grammy performance of WAP 💦 💩 😽

Dump this cow yesterday.

Everybody is out a job bcos they cant/ don’t want to get rid of one white woman..got it

So the producer told them to attack and bully Sharon on live tv. They should be fired....

Her ass needs to GO... NEOW!😡😤

Good for the Talk

Again, I'm just glad that the planet has NO REAL PROBLEMS to deal with right now so we can spend our waking hours worrying about how an outdated royalty perpetrates outdated behaviours which hurt her little feelings. I don't get to go on Oprah and whine for attention; why her?

I don’t watch this show anyway. There is nothing interesting about Osborne. Or intelligent, for that matter. She can stay off air permanently!

Cancel it.

Why are the Osbournes even relevant anymore? Let's move on.

A little too tabloid crap for me.

Ok ok. When is Sharon coming? It's obvious nothing will be resolved in a week. allmoneymatters 👀

She has created a toxic environment on that show, all the other hosts/cohosts are uncomfortable.

It is never good to talk about racism, especially, at this time when sensitive people can take it the wrong way. The topic should be avoided at all cost. During Pres. Obama, such topic was encouraged. Not now.

I for one am extremely disappointed in the women married to our 1970’s rock stars.

Are they silent or were they silence-d

If white people listened as much as they talk about racism we might actually start to fix it.

So one person's mistake n everybody suffers. Crap... If it was a black woman they would fire her n show would go on. This is the systematic racism we're talking about

Send her home 😡🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😷

Ol girl went off the rails... there you go

I never knew it even existed until all the recent headlines surrounding Meghan Markle.

Shit she made it bad for Ozzy

Fire that hag already!
