A few months weeks ago, Sharon Osbourne made the decision to leave behind her job as a host on “The Talk” TV show. 

This decision happened right after she was accused of engaging In racism acts on air and openly supporting journalist, Piers Morgan against Meghan Markle.

The TV felt suffocated by the experience she was faced with and although she apologized for her actions, she still made the decision to leave the show.

Now, since her exit, this is the first time “The Talk” is airing and it kicked off with a discussion on racism.

Sharon Rachel Osbourne is popularly known as a British-American TV personality and author. She gained popularity in 2002, after appearing on a show called “The Osbournes” with her husband, Ozzy Osbourne.

After this, she became a judge on “The X-Factor” and America’s Got Talent,” before continuing her appearance as a host on television.

Osbourne came in third position on NBC’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” and that earned her a job as a co-host on the network’s show “The Talk” in 2014.

She retired from her position a little over five years later. 

Since March 10, 2021, CBS made the decision to let the show go on a long break with no revelation of when it will be back.

Although this decision did not please viewers very much, the show needed to enter into an investigation, following the Osbourne incident.

Among a few controversies, the TV personality was accused of using racism comments on her co-host on the show. She also accused CBS of trying to set her up on the show. 

Initially, the network wanted to take a few days to sort through the problems, but it ended up taking over a month during which Osbourne called it quits. 

A statement from CBS per Deadlinenews outlet, revealed that Osbourne was indeed found guilty of using making racism comments against her co-host.

The statement also mentioned that this behavior from the 68-year-old was not in line with the values and conduct of the show. 

The statement stressed that CBS is all for a “respectful and non-hostile” work environment and that Osbourne’s accusation against the show’s producers was false.

After all was said and done, it was then revealed that the show will resume on April 12, 2021.

Per “Deadline,” the show will resume with discussions on sensitive topics like race, healing, diversity, equity and justice to say the least.

The show will also invite a therapist named Dr. Anita Philips to speak on healing after a painful experience. Also, Dr. Donald E. Grant will coach people on the show, on how to go through with difficult conversation without a hitch. 

With Osbourne gone for good, the other hosts on the show include; Elaine Welteroth, Carrie Ann Inaba, Amanda Kolkata and Sheryl Underwood.

Who’s excited for April 12?
