Sharon Osbourne Calls 'The Talk' Producers 'Weak, Weak Women' Who Are 'Desperate' To Be 'Perceived As More Than Woke'

Sharon Osbourne is still reeling over her forced departure from The Talk.
While the 69-year-old television personality has spoken openly about her former co-hosts and the roles she believes they played in her exit, she has not gotten into specifics about what she feels went down behind the scenes – until now.
Speaking with Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM radio show, Osbourne called the producers of her alma mater "weak, weak women" who are "desperate" to be "perceived as more than woke."
Additionally, she feels showrunners wanted to censor her with regard to Oprah Winfrey's big sit-down with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – which aired on CBS – because the interview special was considered a huge win for the otherwise "failing" network.
"These people that run these networks, especially one that was failing, they are desperate to keep their jobs," Osbourne told Kelly. "They are desperate, in these times we live in, to be perceived as more than woke. You know, they want to be seen as Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ, but they're all hypocrites. They're liars and they're hypocrites, and they'll do whatever they have to do to keep their job."
When asked whether she felt there was one person in particular who had it out for her, Osbourne sang like a canary.
"Amy Reisenbach, her name is, and the two showrunners, Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews, who I'd worked with for – I'd worked with the showrunners for 11 years," she divulged. "They were friends of mine, especially Kristin Matthews. And I told them that they've destroyed me. I told them I will never be able to get over this. It's like, once you have that seed put on you, that you are a racist, it never goes away. I told them they destroyed me."
