O (purely metaphorical, we should probably notice for legal reasons) The sulphurous stench that we normally associate with Piers Morgan opening his mouth and letting things emerge from it continued to spread further and further this week, as it now begins to engulf and slowly erode the enamel in the CBS series of daytime interviews The conversation. This, not surprisingly, is due to Sharon Osbourne, who has been with the series since its inception, and who decided to spend part of his seemingly indefatigable reserves of celebrity staying power to defend Morgan earlier this week after the first Good morning Great Britain host it was typically himself re: Oprah’s recent interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Osbourne’s defense of Morgan “speaking the truth” has prompted one of his former co-workers to resurface a personal truth of his own, which means that Holly Robinson Peete spoke on social media today to remind the world of the time when Osbourne allegedly declared she and Leah Remini also “ghetto” for the show, and allegedly planned to be fired from The conversation. (Robinson Peete and Remini lasted only a single season with the series, which has been on show since 2010.)
Osbourne has always denied that he tried to get Robinson Peete or Remini fired, although the two women told the story at different times in their careers.
Robinson Peete was specifically moved to post on this topic because of a heated conversation that Osbourne had with co-host Sheryl Underwood in Wednesday’s edition of the program, where she stated that “I feel like I’m about to be put in the chair electric because I have a friend that many people think is racist, which makes me a racist. ”She also demanded that Underwood“ educate me ”about what, exactly, in Morgan’s statements they read as racism, because nothing speaks to allies for the black community like requiring a black woman to educate you about the existence of racism.
G / O Media can receive a commission
Anyway: Osbourne did issue an apology for her defense of Morgan today via Twitter, stating that she felt “panicked and caught by surprise” at the time and “became defensive”. (CBS noted that Wednesday’s portion of The conversation is undergoing an internal review.) Everything that would be very good (for a very low definition of good and good), except that the whole incident then caused Morgan to open his mouth again, and lo and behold (metaphorical) a stink of tide emerged once again to wash the land, ruining children’s birthday parties and forcing the stinking smell of bullshit six inches from everyone’s nose. No need to reprint the exact content of your fabricated indignation– bluster, apologies, etc. – but take it for granted that this story will never end, and it will be the last thing left on Earth after we have all been drowned in Piers Morgan’s unbeatable and unfathomable stench.
