Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne appeared together on Good Morning America and reflected on Sharon’s firing from “The Talk” in 2021 after being deemed racist by many fans on social media, reports Variety.
Sharon exited the CBS daytime talk show after arguing with co-host Sheryl Underwood about Piers Morgan’s controversial comments about Meghan Markle. Sharon defended Morgan and assumed she’d be deemed racist for supporting him. She also spoke over Underwood, which led to a a network investigation into Sharon’s conduct on the show.
“What happened to me. The way I felt about it. The amount of time it took me mentally to get over it. And just to show I have - got over it,” Sharon told “GMA” and ABC News over a year later.
“When you’re accused of that, by saying, ‘I’m not racist,’ it’s like being accused of [being] a pedophile,” Ozzy added. “It’s one of those things now that you — by saying you’re not, they think you are more. It’s like - it’s a stigma.”
“Like I said on the show, ’You’ve now planted that seed. That will never leave me. You’ve planted that seed. The damage is done,’” Sharon concluded, adding that she has “no regrets” about what she said on “The Talk.”
“No more saying sorry, ’cause I’m not,” Sharon said. “Cause I didn’t do anything wrong except ask questions.”

Patient Number 9 will be released on September 9 via Epic. Townsend Music has launched the pre-order for their exclusive blue & yellow split colour vinyl edition. Partial proceeds from sales of this album will be donated to Ukraine/US Special Needs Orphans through Third Wave Volunteers.
Patient Number 9 is Ozzy’s new album and the first since his critically acclaimed, worldwide, chart-topping 2020 Ordinary Man release. Produced by Andrew Watt (who handled the same duties on Ordinary Man), the new album marks Osbourne's 13th solo studio album. It’s heavy, it’s hard-hitting, it’s historic - it’s everything you’d want from an Ozzy Osbourne record and maybe more.
Working with producer Watt for the second time, Ozzy welcomed a dynamic A-list featured guests. The record boasts guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and longstanding righthand man and six-string beast Zakk Wylde who plays on the majority of the tracks. For the bulk of the album, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers held down drums, while the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters appears on three songs. Old friend and one-time Ozzy band member Robert Trujillo of Metallica plays bass on most of the album’s tracks, with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Chris Chaney of Jane’s Addiction supplying bass on a few songs.
