Sharon Osbourne Claims She Was ‘Blacklisted From U.S.’ After Harry And Meghan Drama

Sharon Osbourne was fired from The Talk about two years ago after a heated argument happened on the show between her and Sheryl Underwood. Now, she says the whole incident led to her being canceled, “blacklisted” in America, and forced her to move back to the U.K.

The whole ordeal began when Sharon defended her friend Piers Morgan after he made some comments about Meghan Markle. His comments were deemed sexist and racist. While Sharon said she didn’t really agree with his comments, she just tried to stick up for her friend.

Sharon now said, “They say there isn’t blacklisting in America, but I’m living proof that there is. Not that I’m resentful or whatever. It’s just a fact of life. It happens, doesn’t it?” She continued, “I got threats and things like that… It’s like I can look at myself in the mirror, and I know I can talk and I’m loud and I know that about myself. But I’ve never spoken with hate and I stick up for my friends and that’s what I was doing. I know who I am.”

Sharon and her husband, rocker Ozzy Osbourne decided to relocate back to their home in the U.K. She has since joined TalkTV over there and released a multi-part series on Fox Nation about the incident.

She concluded, “Piers [Morgan] felt that Meghan was making up stories. He was branded a racist. And because I supported him, I was branded a racist.”
