CBS released a statement confirming Sharon Osbourne's shock departure from "The Talk" in late March, explaining that Osbourne and Underwood's televised fall-out was "upsetting" for everyone involved. "As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon's behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace," the statement read, via Deadline. 

During a subsequent appearance on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Osbourne broke her silence on her exit from "The Talk," telling host Maher that she was "angry" about how things transpired (via USA Today). "I've been called so many things in my life, I am so used to being called names, but a racist is one I will not take," she said. "Disagreeing with someone does not make you a racist."

But things did not stay peachy between Osbourne and her fellow hosts from "The Talk," as information started coming out of the woodwork after her on-air fight with Underwood. As noted by Us Weekly, host Leah Remini alleged that Osbourne had used "racial and homophobic slurs in the past." Page Six reported that Osbourne allegedly called host Julie Chen "slanty eyes" and mocked openly-gay host Sara Gilbert. Suffice to say that the drama surrounding Osbourne had a negative impact on "The Talk" and its ratings. 

Elsewhere, Osbourne's close friend Piers Morgan — at the center of the initial controversy — shared his thoughts on "The Talk's" sharp drop in viewership, simply tweeting, "Go woke... go broke."
