Sheryl Underwood Addresses Sharon Osbourne's Departure on 'The Talk'
Sheryl Underwood is welcoming back fans of The Talk after a tumultuous month long hiatus.
In a new preview clip, the comedian and host addressed the show’s audience from backstage and provided an update about what fans can expect from the upcoming episode.
“It’s time for an episode of The Talk that will be unlike any other we’ve had before,” Sheryl began.
“As you may know, during our break, Sharon decided to leave The Talk. We need to process the events of that day and what happened since, so we can get to the healing,” she continued.
Sheryl explained that she will join fellow co-hosts Elaine Welteroth, Amanda Kloots and Carrie Ann Inaba to “honestly discuss what occurred.”
Sharon‘s departure from the show followed her comments about British TV presenter Piers Morgan, who made several controversial remarks about Meghan Markle.
Allegations of Sharon‘s inappropriate workplace conduct also emerged, with former hosts Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete accusing her of using racist and homophobic language behind the scenes.
Sheryl claimed that Sharon never reached out after their heated argument during the show, which Sharon has disputed.
