Cyndi Lauper has backed Sharon Osbourne in light of the latter’s controversy on The Talk.
Cyndi Lauper Defends Sharon Osbourne!
Sharon was accused of making a series of derogatory remarks to her fellow co-hosts, Julie Chen and Sarah Gilbert. Sharon, for her part, denied them, with Cyndi also believing her. In a post to her fans on Instagram, Cyndi rejected claims that Sharon was a racist. She wrote: “I wanted to come out publicly to support my friend @sharonosbourne.
“I have known her for a long time, and I do not believe that she is racist.” Sharon also came under fire for backing Piers Morgan over his stance on the Meghan Markle interview. Given that Piers had brushed Meghan’s concerns under the carpet, namely the accusations that her baby was singled out over his skin colour, Sharon has been tarnished with the same due to her association with Piers.
Although Cyndi defended Sharon, she did acknowledge that perhaps she may have accidentally made some blunders. She added: “[Sharon] may have misspoken, used the wrong words, and acted in ways that have been hurtful to others. [She] may have even flubbed her apology. I do believe that she is sincere in trying to make things right. We all make mistakes.”
So what has Sharon demanded? Well, she simply wants to be given a fair chance to tell her side of the story. After all, regardless of what we think of Piers, he did manage to re-brand himself after the shocking phone hacking scandal that he was caught up in. And who could forget? He was accused of hacking Milly Dowler’s voicemails, a teenager who had disappeared and then later discovered to be dead.
Sharon does not want to be cancelled. Cyndi continued: “We all want to be given second chances, but no one wants to give a second chance. We all want to be forgiven, but no one wants to forgive. I believe that Sharon is sincere in her desire to apologize and change. I hope that everyone will be at least willing to hear her out.”
It is good to see Sharon having some backing as she has seen some intense media scrutiny of late. As for her future on The Talk, it is firmly in the balance.
