Following the fallout between Sharon Osbourne and much of the rest of The Talk, the program experienced a hiatus lasting almost a month. The series resumed on Monday, at which point Sheryl Underwood took time to share that she’d experienced PTSD after her and Osbourne’s on-air fight and falling out. As co-host, Underwood engaged in talks with Osbourne after Osbourne defended Piers Morgan, who in turn had accused Duchess Meghan Markle of lying during a tell-all interview with Oprah. All the while, Underwood felt, she had to walk a very fine, precarious, and downright dangerous line between explaining her own feelings and not coming off as “the angry black woman.” The aftermath leaves her unable to easily revisit that encounter.

On Monday’s episode, Welteroth felt Osbourne “went off the rails into disrespect” during the discussion almost a month ago. In its aftermath and in light of accusations of racism and homophobia against Osbourne, CBS has an internal investigation underway. Osbourne later texted Underwood, a claim Underwood confirmed but added she didn’t reply because of the ongoing investigation with the network. Underwood had previously denied Osbourne’s claims she’d privately outright apologized, to which Osbourne shared what are reported to be screenshots of said apology. In public, she tweeted a lengthy apology for all to see.

Take your pick. As for officially addressing the incident, an insider claims “Sharon will talk when she is ready. She still wants to give her side of the story. She has been on that show for 11 years and knows all the secrets.”
