Jack Osbourne is reflecting on mom Sharon Osbourne's highly publicized exit from The Talk. "There was so much chaos with it," Jack, 40, claimed on the Tuesday, February 3, episode of the "Hot Mics With Billy Bush" podcast. "They paid her out the rest of her contract. They didn't give her any, no golden parachutes or anything. The problem with it is the lasting effects. It's that thing of, 'Oh now you got this scarlet letter on you' and that takes a long time to go away." In March 2021, The Talk announced Sharon, 73, would not be returning as a cohost after she defended longtime friend Piers Morgan. At the time, cohost Sheryl Underwood expressed her belief that by supporting Morgan, 60, Sharon was validating his seemingly racist remarks. (Morgan previously said he didn't believe a word that came out of Meghan Markle's mouth during a tell-all interview with Prince Harry.) Every 'The Talk' Host Through the Years and Why They Left "The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon's behavior toward her cohosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace," CBS said in a statement at the time. "We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts." When podcast host Billy Bush expressed his view that Sharon was done "dirty," Jack replied, "Oh, the dirtiest." "The show basically took a swan dive into s***ville after they kicked her off," Jack claimed. "When they canceled it, they were doing this big goodbye and we're going off the air and they reached out and asked if my mom would come back for the finale and my mom was like, 'F*** you.'"

At the time, Underwood, 62, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O'Connell and Akbar Gbajabiamila served as cohosts. Jack said he supported his mom's decision not to participate in the show's goodbye because "it platforms them." 'The Talk' Cohosts Tease New Chapters Before 'Emotional' Series Finale "It gives them attention on her shoulders. She was like, 'No, why am I going to do that for them?' It doesn't make sense and I agree with that," he shared. "I told her, 'You should say yes and when you go out there, they should all apologize to you. That's the only way that you should do that.' It was wrong." Since her exit from The Talk, Sharon has been able to share her views once again on "The Osbournes" podcast. She also apologized for her actions days after the infamous conversation. "After some reflection, after sitting with your comments and sitting with my heart I would like to address the discussion on The Talk," she previously said in a statement. "I have always been embraced with so much love and support from the Black community and I have deep respect and love for the Black community. To anyone of color that I offended and/or to anyone that feels confused or let down by what I said, I am truly sorry. I panicked, felt blindsided, got defensive and allowed my fear and horror of being accused of being racist take over. There are very few things that hurt my heart more than racism so to feel associated with that spun me fast! I am not perfect, I am still learning like the rest of us and will continue to learn, listen and do better."
