« At the same time, we acknowledge that the network and studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are responsible for what happened during this broadcast because it was clear that the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion of the races, ”the publication continued. “During this week’s break, we’re coordinating workshops, listening sessions, and training on equity, inclusion, and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers, and the crew.

« I feel like I’m about to be put in an electric chair because I have a friend who a lot of people think is a racist, which makes me a racist, » said Osbourne. She then asked the other hosts to tell her « what he said is racist ».
Sheryl Underwood replied that « the implication » that Morgan dismissed Markle was more racist than the words themselves / p> « Why can’t it be that he just doesn’t like her? Why does it have to be racist? » Said Osbourne.
After the heated on-air debate, Osbourne tweeted a long apology in which she said, that she « does not condone racism, misogyny or bullying ».

I’m bringing this up now because I was ashamed to see the disrespectful condescending tone she adopted with her co-host, who remained calm and respectful. & respectfully because … she had to, « Robinson Peete tweeted.

Remini told journalist Yashar Ali that Osbourne allegedly attacked her then co-stars because she was angry that Chen was allegedly trying to steal the spotlight, and Gilbert, who was also executive producer, nothing took action against it.
