Sharon faced severe backlash after a debate with former co-star Sheryl Underwood on "The Talk" about Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey. At the time, she defended fellow broadcaster and pal Piers Morgan after he was sacked from "Good Morning Britain" for not believing Meghan's claims that she was suicidal. The incident led to allegations of racism against Sharon, and she was subsequently ousted from the show, which she had co-hosted for over a decade.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Sharon affirmed that she has let go of any complex emotions about the incident, stating, "I did all my ranting in the documentary that my son did on me, but it's gone, any feelings of anger have long gone."

"You just have to move on, don't you? I'm not a victim. I'm not, you know, 'Woe is me, everybody's an a***hole,' we just move on, don't we?" she went on, adding that "Everybody at CBS are a***holes, but you just move on… You can't keep looking back."

Sharon's reaction to her on-air fallout on "The Talk" follows reports that her podcast with husband Ozzy, "The Osbourne's Podcast," is set to be released on Tuesday, September 12th. In her interview with the Daily Mail, the former "X Factor" judge ruled out weighing in on the incident with Underwood on the podcast, noting that she has since moved on from it.

She noted that she didn't want the fallout to be "the last thing that people know of me," making the return of the podcast a welcome development for her and Ozzy.

"We never really had a filter and we're not going to have one now," she said ahead of the podcast's return after five long years. "It's just really freeing to be able to say what you want to say even though sometimes you say things you shouldn't or that you don't really mean. You know, you can always apologize."

In an interview with E!News, Sharon shared the secret to her remarkable 40-year marriage to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Sharon and Ozzy have been a dynamic duo in the public eye, known for their unbreakable bond and resilience through life's ups and downs. Their journey together began in the early '80s, and it has been marked by both challenges and triumphs.

When asked about the key to their successful marriage, Sharon stated, "We're both oddballs. I might look quite normal, but normal is not a word I use often. We were two wild young people that found each other."

Sharon emphasized that their relationship, like every other, isn't easy. "No relationship is easy," she explained, adding, "and you have to work at it. You get your ugly times, your bad times, and your horrific times. But if you love each other enough, you'll work through."

Sharon and her daughter Kelly were involved in a game of "Stir the Pot" in their recent appearance on E! where she revealed her perspective on her encounter with Ashton Kutcher, labeling him as the "rudest celebrity" she's ever met.

Sharon, known for her sharp wit and fearless approach to speaking her mind, didn't hold back when asked about her experience with "the rudest celebrity you've ever met." 

She didn't mince words when discussing her encounters with celebrities over the years, calling Kutcher a "rude, rude, rude, rude little boy," although she didn't remember his name.

"The guy that's married to an actress, and he used to do 'That 70s Show,'" Sharon said, as Kelly answered, "Oh, Ashton Kutcher? Really?"

"Yes. Oh, rude, rude, rude, rude little boy," Sharon said of Kutcher.

Kelly, who said she "was not prepared for that," sought to confirm what she heard from her mother was right. "Yes. Dastardly little thing," Sharon replied.
