Sharon Osbourne claims 'nobody will employ' her in the U.S.

Sharon Osbourne says she's having trouble finding work in the United States lately.

While appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom, the media personality discussed public backlash following accusations of racist behavior on The Talk with her housemates. “I got banned in America,” Osbourne said to her costars Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh (via Yahoo!). “I did nothing wrong.”

Yahoo! reports that after Simon asked Osbourne if she was permitted to work in the U.S., the Osbournes star responded, “I can legally…but nobody will employ me because they say I am racist.” Simon observed that Osbourne is Jewish, to which she responded, “I know, and that’s what I said to them!”

“They think we don’t know what it’s like to be picked on,” Osbourne continued. “I wouldn’t pick on anyone because of their race or religion, ever.”

Reps for Osbourne did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Osbourne generated controversy on The Talk in March 2021 when she defended Piers Morgan amid backlash to his questioning the validity of Meghan Markle’s comments about mental health issues during her Oprah Winfrey interview. Osbourne insisted that Morgan is “not racist” and said, "Did I like everything he said? Did I agree with what he said? No.” She explained that she wanted to defend Morgan "Because it's his opinion. It's not my opinion… I support him for his freedom of speech, and he's my friend."

Cohost Sheryl Underwood said, "While you are standing by your friend, it appears that you are giving validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist," to which Osbourne responded, "I feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist.”

After the heated on-air exchange, Osbourne was accused of racist and homophobic behavior behind the scenes of The Talk. Osbourne denied these allegations. She exited the series shortly thereafter.

"The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home," CBS said in a statement at the time. "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."

I thought she and Ozzie had returned to the UK because America was a shithole. She tried to get publicity with things like Ozempic and that didn't work so she's essentially repeating the same story she said years back. And I saw her a number of times on Fox News so someone wants to hear her.

Sharon also didn't read the room. She had a large black fanbase because of The Talk. That all went away with her defense of Morgan. Even black reporters like Kevin Frazier really turned on her. If she really wanted to get back into the public graces, and you know this is killing her, she needs Sheryl. if they went on TV and talked about what was said, she could make a comeback. But Sheryl won't go for it. She's screwed.

I googled their plans to move back to the UK and it was like watching a tennis match. We're moving, no we're not, yes, we are, Ozzy wants to stay, etc. I think both are desperate to stay in LA so she's trying one last final gasp to try to play the victim to gain sympathy. It didn't work before and it won't now.

I enjoy Jack Osbourne's Portals to Hell show. I was actually watching it last night. It's a ghost hunting show that's fun to watch. He seems pretty well adjusted. I had no idea he has four kids now.

Sharon has been attacking her fellow brit celebs and others on Celebrity Big Brother UK I think. She said James Corden as a gross name-dropper and basically called Anna Wintour a cunt. After that she went on to fake vomit when Elle Degeneras was mentioned. I don't mind Sharon at all. She is a smart woman and I admire that. But anyone going through what her face is going through now should be kinder to people.

One of the few things I remember about the talk is what Wendy Williams had to say about Cheryl. Wendy basically said Cheryl was playing "The Coon" on the show and was down for whatever they wanted to do to her. She said they could pour a bag of flour over her and throw baloney at her head and she would laugh all the way through it. I miss Wendy Williams. She wasn't 100% transparent, but she went after celebrity culture and said things no one else was saying on TV.

That's not talent ya knucklehead, that's a skill and she learned that from her manager father who she hated. She has ZERO talent is only famous because she fucked a rock star, her cash cow. She barely knew who any of the guests that were on "The Talk" and it was quite obvious. She should stay in the UK and do a show or podcast with her great friend the obnoxious Piers.

R35, she can't. She's addicted to the spotlight, namely the US spotlight which is the biggest stage for her. It sounds like she's still being hired in the UK. Why can't she just accept that? Because it doesn't pay as well and the exposure isn't as great so she's on her whining campaign. It won't work, not for any other reason except out of sight, out of mind. Being away from the US public hurt her more than anything. Now no one cares about her or her situation. She knows that and it's killing her.

Then there was the Ozempic bullshit - and collapsing on her son's show. The list goes on and on.

R37, when did Morgan lie and say racist stuff about Meghan? He hates Meghan because she befriended him, but then ditched him after meeting Harry. He had her pegged as a user as soon as he realised he'd never hear from her again, when previously she'd buddied up to him and they'd discussed her appearing on his [then] morning TV show.

He said he didn't believe a word of what Meghan said in the Oprah interview and so many of her claims have proven to be lies.

And the biggest, most controversial claim was BS. I come from a mixed background and it's normal to have people marrying in (and their relatives) asking if their children will be dark-skinned (black), just as they wonder about hair colour, eye colour, straight or curly hair. If they were racist, they wouldn't have married into our family, FFS!

She got lots of money for doing Celebrity Big Brother (reportedly ITV would only take her on for a week because her fee for the whole series was eye wateringly high).

She's also 71 and has made money all her working life. So why does she need to continue working? She and Ozzy are rich.

by Anonymousreply 64March 19, 2024 9:16 AM

Because it's not about the money R64, it's about the fame. I am sure she is still the plain fat woman in her mind that she was when she first was managing Ozzy's career. But she wanted to be a star too. Judging by her appearance, I would say she doesn't much care for herself either, seeing how she's tortured any resemblance to her former self out of her body. But it's about the fame, and wanting to crush all of the people who said she could never be front of camera. That never goes away, and that impulse is never satiated.

As much as she whines about everything, she WAS an actress in Hollywood and I am sure her color came up frequently, as in being sent out for only black roles. My friend is a black actress lighter than her, and she is only sent out when a black female is required for a role and looked over when it's not required. I am sure Meghan in this environment experienced a lot of racism. But there is discrimination for a million reasons in Hollywood - too old, too fat, too ugly, too pretty, too tall, too young, too unknown, too unfuckable. Race/Color is just one of many.

R71, that is what I am referencing. She experienced racism in the fact that she wasn't so fair that they mistook her for white. Anyone looking at her can tell she is not white. They might not guess she is half black at first, but she wasn't sitting next to Rachel McAdams or Brie Larson in auditions. She wasn't being sent for those parts. And the parts that she was being sent for, they were probably like "what's this? we asked for someone black?"
