From left to right: Carrie Ann Inaba, Underwood, Morgan, Marie Osmond, and Osbourne?
During the discussion of Morgan, Underwood asked Osbourne, 'What would you say to people who may feel that, while you're standing by your friend, it appears that you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don't agree?'.Osbourne replied angrily, using words that were bleeped out, and said she felt like she was being placed on 'the electric chair' for having a friend that some people think is racist. .'I very much feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?' she said. .Earlier this week, Piers Morgan praised Osbourne for defending his right to an opinion even at the cost of her job, accusing CBS of 'hypocrisy' for forcing her out at The TalkAnd my God has she paid for that loyalty,' Morgan said of Osbourne (with him above)
After The Talk went on hiatus allegations emerged that Osbourne had made racist or otherwise crass remarks about co-hosts behind the scenes at the show.Â
