Sharon Osbourne has called herself a "sacrificial lamb" in the racism drama surrounding The Talk. Now, Breaking Celebrity News has learned, she's taking steps to protect herself from further critique and damage by beefing up security at her L.A. mansion.
Security guards were spotted outside Osbourne's home on March 18, alongside a sign that said, ironically: "Please be kind."
As Breaking Celebrity News has reported, it's been a tough couple weeks for Osbourne.
Osbourne, 68, first sparked scandal on March 9 when she came to the defense of her friend, Piers Morgan, following his comments slamming Meghan Markle and doubting her claims she suffered mental health issues after joining the royal family.
Osbourne’s co-host Sheryl Underwood publicly called Osbourne out on The Talk the next day, asking, “What would you say to people who may feel that while you're standing by your friend, it appears you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don't agree?”
Osbourne later apologized to “anyone that feels confused or let down” and explained she felt “panicked” and “blindsided” at the “horror of being accused of being racist.”
