Sharon Osbourne has launched a brutal attack on the media after she was accused of calling her co-host, Julie Chen, on The Talk a ‘wonton.’
Sharon Osbourne: ‘F–k Off With Your F–king Wonton Story. F–k off!’
In an interview with the Daily Mail, she attacked her critics for blowing this all out of proportion. She said: “Everyone’s got an opinion or a story like the wonton story. It’s like f–k off with your f–king wonton story. F–k off!” Leah Remini first made the accusation, that hit the headlines, which completed a turbulent period for Sharon, who had also received criticism for defending Piers Morgan over the Meghan Markle saga.
Sharon, though, is not taking this lightly. She feels she has been judged due to the company that she has been keeping, irrespective of her own behaviour. She added: “Piers tarnished it for them, and I think they’re pissed. Pissed with me for sticking up for him, and I think that’s it.” It seems Sharon has not been given a fair opportunity to be heard.
This would fall in line with the current so-called cancel culture that has affected many stars, Chris Harrison, Rachael Kirkconnell, both from The Bachelor come to mind. Although The Talk has been taken off air so that these issues can be resolved behind the scenes, it seems Sharon is not having any of it. She will continue to speak her mind.
She continued: “It’s hurtful, but the thing is, when you’re tarred with that, you can’t defend it because the more you defend it, the worse it is for you. You know, it’s like that line that people use – oh, some of my best friends are black, and you come out with ridiculous statements. Well, I’m not going to do that.” And she signed off the interview by accusing the producers of the show for not being honest.
She felt that they should have informed her over any concerns they had on her stance on Piers, given that Meghan was being well-received in the US following her interview. She stated: “If they’d said these execs aren’t happy, I’d have worked on it with them. But give me a chance.”
