Sharon Osbourne, co-host of the CBS daytime panel show “The Talk,” would frequently refer to then-co-host Julie Chen, who is Chinese American, as “wonton” and “slanty eyes,” according to multiple sources, including former co-host Leah Remini.

Osbourne also referred to former co-host and executive producer Sara Gilbert, who is a lesbian, as “pussy licker” and “fish eater,” according to multiple sources including Remini.

The accusations come as Osbourne faces a torrent of criticism for not only publicly supporting British TV personality Piers Morgan—who accused Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, of lying about having suicidal thoughts and doubted her accounts of racism within the royal family and their court—but also appearing defensive and angry and ordering one of her co-hosts to not cry when asked about the blowback during a segment on “The Talk.”
Amazing how many people got snapped from the show but Osbourne stayed standing

Wasn't Gilbert the executive producer? Wonder why she put up with it.

Julie Chen is married to Les Moonves, which makes the whole thing even more nuts. Not surprising that she's a disgusting person, I guess, but definitely crazy that she got away with it for this long. When you can be racist to the CEO's wife and still have a job, that's pretty telling.

Sharon Osbourne is a terrible person which, I assume, surprises nobody. I recall a couple of years ago when she was on 'Would I Lie To You?' and told a story about firing her assistant that was so horrific I think everybody just assumed it was untrue.

Sharon ran out to Ozzy and pushed him into a fountain, before ordering their assistant to run back into the building and retrieve some paintings.

When he initially refused, Sharon scolded: “How very dare you, you work here and you get more paintings out right now.”

She added: “And I took the mask and I put it on my dog.”


The assistant later approached Sharon and Ozzy about the incident as they were laughing at what happened.

Sharon said: “He goes, ‘I don’t see what is funny about any of this. I think I’m going to have damaged lungs.’

“I said, ‘If you don’t think that’s funny, do you think this is funny? You’re fired.’”

That dramatic overreaction could only be had by someone who was actually a piece of shit.

Ricky Gervais had a story about her on the old XFM podcast where she absolutely berrated and degraded Les Dennis because of her own hubris during an X-Factor ad break. She sounded awful from then on. Trash human

Not surprising, she is a horrible person to her core.

I’m guessing they thought the viewership meant keeping her all this time instead of getting rid of her. Pathetic.

Wasn't she the one crying on TV two seconds ago because people said she was friends with a racist?

She seems like the type of person that would be living in the 1st class sections of Snowpiercer. Really fits the vibe of those characters where they will risk harm to others beneath for fun

It's also very noticeable that Eve was part of the cast since 2019 just also left weeks ago...

I guess Sherri who is also part of the original lineup remains and basically had to tell Sharon why her defending Morgan was trash tipped all this off.

However, I get the feeling she'll be like Ellen and get a slap on the wrist & a firm talking too and still do this shit.

I've run into so many of these kind of people in my life. My boss from a few years ago thought he was so hilarious cause he called our Korean coworker Jackie Chan (the fact that Jackie Chan is not Korean is "part of the joke), and had just all around horrible shit like that. Every few years he gets called to HR but the guy brings in so much money (his customers like this about him) he gets by.

As an extremely quiet person I get way too much shit shared with me.

Sadly there's an appeal to it. It's a secret "comedy" amongst racists and misogynists where they just keep telling the same jokes. "Man cave", etc.

Makes sense, her daughter is bad too. I remember a clip of her telling Trump to be nice to illegal aliens because theyre here to clean his toilet, screw her.

I vaguely remember that comment having a more divided reaction at time. Some people felt it rang true in the sense that employers often do capitalize on illegal immigration for cheap labour in unskilled positions; some people commented that it reflected the positions that were actually available to illegal immigrants regardless of things like education.

Even for legal immigration, post-secondary education being recognized is up to the country you emigrate to.

Julie Chens' spouse could have easily got her canned from the talk, he still has enough pull at CBS to probably get her canned now... and Gilbert wasn't powerless on the show in the least.

I don't really get this story, its not like she was messing with two women who were powerless to have her yanked/ruined. while i wouldn't be surprised if it were all true, im a little curious given the people she was dealing with yielded more power. It would be interesting to have them speak on it, especially Chen given her role at CBS.

Isn't Moonves currently buried under sexual abuse claims? Don't think he ever got his $100+mil severance package because if it. That could absolutely shut him up.

That's her schtick, that's she's edgy and unfiltered.

She's trash and always has been.

I saw the name Osbourne, and that it was a Slayven thread and thought she was a Marvel comics villain or something. Damn

I guess if you're going to be racist, be it across the board. No picking and choose, racist against everyone!
