The moment not only lead to the show taking a break but also ended Sharon Osbourne’s time on The Talk after 11 seasons.

CBS announced Sharon Osbourne’s departure and said in a statement,

“Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The Talk. The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home.”

Following the discussion, CBS said it would perform an internal review of Osbourne’s remarks. It also shared the results of the investigation in the statement announcing her exit.

“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 network concluded by denying her claims that she was set up by production to have the discussion on air.

“We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.”
