Osbourne had also defended Morgan on Twitter, saying to the British journalist, “I’m with you. I’m with you.”
In a statement released on social media on Friday, Osbourne apologized for his outburst on “The Talk”, saying he “panicked, felt surprised and became defensive” during his conversation with Underwood.
“After some reflection, after sitting down with your comments and sitting down with my heart, I would like to address the discussion on The Talk last Wednesday. I have always been embraced with a lot of love and support from the black community and I have deep respect and love for black community. “
She continued: “For anyone of color that I offended and / or for anyone who is confused or disappointed by what I said, I am really sorry. I panicked, I was taken aback, I was defensive and I allowed my fear and horror of being accused of being racist takes over.
The former judge of “America’s Got Talent” went on to say that “there are very few things that hurt my heart more than racism” and insisted that the association “made me spin fast”.
Although Morgan praised the star for publicly supporting him, Osbourne clarified his position, insisting that it does not “tolerate racism, misogyny or bullying”.
Referring to her previous tweet about Morgan, she said, “Please listen to me when I say that I don’t tolerate racism, misogyny or bullying. I should have been more specific about that in my tweet. I will always support freedom of speech, but now I see how I did not intentionally make that distinction clear. ”
She signed saying that she hoped “that we can continue to learn collectively from each other and from ourselves, so that we can continue to pave the way for much needed growth and change”.
