Sharon Osbourne appears to have fully recovered from her abrupt exit from The Talk and all the drama that followed.
The 68-year-old wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne seemed to be in relatively good spirits while grabbing lunch with friends in Montecito, California, earlier this week.
The mother of three sported a loose-fitting white shirt, baggy blue jeans, white sneakers, and a tan fedora hat with a black rim. She accessorized her chic summer look with a long gold necklace and straw handbag.
Osbourne appears to have partaken in a little retail therapy, too, as she was seen carrying several shopping bags while leaving the restaurant.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Osbourne's former Talk co-host, Elaine Welteroth, recently alleged that Sharon and her team "illegally recorded" her during a private conversation following the English TV personality's on-air blowup with Sheryl Underwood, which preceded Osbourne's exit from the show.
"They're masquerading like it was a 'hot mic' moment, but they were not [wearing the show's mics] at all," insiders told Page Six at the time.
"Someone in Sharon's camp illegally recorded their conversation and leaked it. It was the ultimate Karen move," the source added, calling Osbourne "the unhinged TV Karen."
Welteroth herself then spoke to Entertainment Tonight, saying she "thought we had closed the painful, public chapter of the controversy related to the March 10th show."
"Today, however, I learned that my private comments made moments after the incident from a place of compassion to a then-colleague (the most senior level co-host on The Talk) were recorded – without my consent or knowledge – and shared with the media," she said.
