Sharon Osbourne, a well-known figure on Instagram, has voiced her struggle to find work in the United States.
In an episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Osbourne revealed that she feels ostracized in America following her dismissal from The Talk due to accusations of racial insensitivity in 2021. She was fired from The Talk after defending her long-time friend Piers Morgan, who had questioned Meghan Markle’s claims of racism within the British royal family.
According to US Weekly,
“I got banned in America,” Osbourne told her Celebrity Big Brother housemates Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh. “I did nothing wrong.” When asked by Simon if she could find work in the US, Osbourne shared, “I can legally…but nobody will employ me because they say I am racist.
Simon responded to this by noting that Osbourne is Jewish, to which the Osbournes alum replied, “I know, and that’s what I said to them!” She continued, “They think we don’t know what it’s like to be picked on. I wouldn’t pick on anyone because of their race or religion, ever.”
In March 2021, Osbourne defended her friend and media personality Piers Morgan for his comments about Meghan Markle’s CBS interview, in which she discussed experiencing racism and suicidal thoughts. Morgan’s comments, wherein he questioned the validity of Markle’s statements, were met with backlash from the public.
“Did I like everything he said? Did I agree with what he said? No,” Osbourne said on The Talk at the time. “Because it’s his opinion. It’s not my opinion… I support him for his freedom of speech, and he’s my friend.”
Osbourne has been outspoken about her dismissal and the cold reception she has received from Hollywood, a sector that heavily supports the BLM movement. Her insistence on apologizing to liberals through a 3-page letter despite believing she did nothing wrong raises questions.
