Sharon Osbourne said that her recent fight with Sheryl Underwood and Elaine Welteroth in “The Talk” was “the biggest armada of all time”. She told “ET” on Tuesday that “The Talk” showrunners told their CBS executives that the co-hosts blinded her with tough questions about Piers Morgan’s defense, after mean comments he made about Meghan Markle.
As Osbourne told “ET” Kevin Frazier, she arrived late at “The Talk” studio last Wednesday. When she bumped into one of the showrunners, the woman asked her, “Hey, do you want to clear up this Piers thing again?” To which Osbourne said that she replied, “If you want, I will do it.”
Osbourne then says it was eight minutes before the show, the showrunner told her that “Maybe one of the [the co-hosts] does not agree ”with you. But Osbourne says that what happened on TV was much more than that, and believes that the questions asked were written to Underwood and Welteroth on their index cards, but not on their own.

Osbourne says she was not prepared for this line of interrogation, which violated a pact that the co-hosts made last year.
“And I’m like, ‘I was raised’,” she reminded Frazier. “And I thought, how dare you do this to me! I am your sacrificial lamb. “
Osbourne told Frazier Underwood that he would not speak to her during the next commercial break when she asked for an explanation. Osbourne says he apologized to Underwood for the comments he made after that, but Underwood did not respond to her.

Osbourne says she is not mad at Underwood or Welteroth, but is “very mad” at CBS, where she worked for 11 years.
“I think CBS was very horrified by Piers for the things he was saying. Because remember, Harry and Meghan – it’s a CBS interview, ”she said. “I was on Piers’ side, so it’s the culture of cancellation, isn’t it? ‘Throw it under the bus.’ “
Piers Morgan said he didn’t “believe a word [Markle] said ”in Oprah Winfrey’s interview with her and Prince Harry’s CBS. Some critics believe Morgan’s words when racially motivated (Markle, whose mother is black, is biracial). Osbourne defended his friend Morgan and said that she never met him as a racist.

Yesterday, Leah Remini accused Osbourne of using racist and homophobic language in “The Talk”. Days earlier, Holly Robinson Peete said that Osbourne fired her from the program for being “too ghetto”.
Osbourne denies these charges.
“People who are dismissed along the way are irritated,” said Osbourne. “I’m the big girl with the big mouth, so they shoot me. But I’m not an idiot. Don’t accuse me of something that is a lie. “

Osbourne says he is not sure whether he will return to “The Talk” when he returns from the hiatus next week, pending an investigation into the incident.
“I wish we could go on and have an adult conversation, calmly, and work it out, but I don’t know if we can,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s past that. But I don’t know if I want to go back. I don’t know if I’m wanted there. “
