CBS holds themselves accountable for what went down that day

The show went on hiatus following the controversial argument, which prompted an investigation from CBS. “As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace,” they added in their statement. “We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.”
