THE Talk’s Sheryl Underwood claimed her co-host Sharon Osbourne did not reach out to apologize to her after their on-camera fight or once she left the show.
The British personality exited the daytime talk show after she was criticized for defending Piers Morgan’s harsh comments about Meghan Markle.
In a three-part series on her podcast titled Sharon Walks Away, Sheryl touched on all that has gone down since the the now infamous debate – a fight that led network CBS to launch an investigation, and for the program to go into a hiatus.
During the chat, Sheryl responded “no” when she asked if the mother of three has apologized to her yet for all that went down.
The 57-year-old explained that before she brought up Sharon’s tweet about protecting Piers’ “freedom of speech,” she was attempting to form her questions “in a way that was not perceived as attacking.”
She said: “In my gut, I thought this was going to go left. And so I wanted to put it in its proper order, be very calm, but there were a few people that criticized me on that — ‘Why do you give any f—- about somebody’s feelings? They give no f—- about yours.’
“It’s not about the reaction of the person, it’s about me and who I’m trying to evolve and mature to be.”
The TV star also revealed that upon learning the CBS show for its second season in 2011, she admitted that she “heard things” about Sharon.
Sheryl said: “I automatically just fell in love with her because I just like her. And I heard things and I was like, ‘They got nothing to do with me.’ My thing is I’m going to get to know you first.
“I had heard things, and I got phone calls of this and that and so what I said to those people, I said, ‘Thank you for the information.’ Because listen, in this business you’ve got all types of personalities, right?”
Previously, Sharon’s cohost Leah Remini claimed the ex America’s Got Talent judge has a history of bullying and racist language.
Leah, 50, accused Sharon of referring to ex cohost Julie Chen as a “wonton” and “slanty eyes” on a regular basis.
While Sheryl did not reveal what specific things she “heard” about Sharon, however, she admitted that those things were later confirmed “in hindsight.”
Amid all of the chaos that has occurred in the aftermath, Sheryl revealed her regret by the controversy.
She said: “Sometimes in life, something happens and you go, ‘Gosh, if I just would’ve…’ There’s nothing I could have ‘just would’ve’ — this was going to happen, out of my control.
“Sometimes you don’t want to know what you know, you don’t want to feel and hear what you feel and hear, don’t want to accept what you have to accept.”
