'The Talk' Is On Hiatus Amid Sharon Osbourne Controversy
The Talk is going on hiatus after co-host Sharon Osbourne‘s controversy.
Last week, the 68-year-old was involved in an on-air dispute after she publicly supported Piers over his comments about Meghan Markle.
Then, during an episode of The Talk, she got into a heated on-air conversation with co-host Sheryl Underwood over Piers‘ comments slamming the Duchess of Sussex and saying he didn’t believe her comments about being suicidal.
“We are committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace,” CBS said in a statement about an internal review being started. “All matters related to the Wednesday episode of The Talk are currently under internal review.”
Deadline learned that the show has been cancelled until Wednesday (March 17). Guest hosts Elizabeth Vargas (March 15) and Carly Pearce (March 16) were told their appearances were cancelled.
Sharon has been involved in controversy since this started, and a former co-host claimed Sharon once called her “ghetto” and got her fired.
