Sheryl Underwood has broken her silence on Sharon Osbourne‘s shocking outburst on The Talk.
As reported, the 68-year-old came under fire and brimstone when she was quizzed about her support for Piers Morgan, who sensationally “left” his role on Good Morning Britain after making remarks about Meghan Markle that many believe to be rooted in racism.
Osbourne’s defensive stance during the segment (which included her demanding that Underwood not cry because she is the one “who should be crying”) went viral.
The fall-out has been thick and fast, with Osbourne issuing an apology to the Black community (but then claiming to have been “blindsided”) and CBS launching a formal investigation.
Now Underwood is speaking up and out. Her words, which came during an interview with Steve Harvey, below…
“I got calls from all over the world from people that I was wondering, ‘How did you find me? How do you know me?’ I was getting prayers, I was getting love.
And I want people to know this, I believe that God was telling me, ‘I have a plan for you. I am about to pour down a blessing upon you. I just need to know, are you ready because you will face this again?’
I just wanted to be a better example for people that are working just a regular old job, that had to compose themselves.
We are the only race of people that carry the race wherever we go, and we’re responsible for that. And I want to thank everybody all over the world in social media, everybody in radio, television, news, everywhere, everybody that reached out.
What power you had to make me understand you have matured Sheryl Underwood. You have matured. Because I could have messed it up, couldn’t I? I could have messed it up.”
Underwood elaborated on her podcast, saying:
“I thought we were having a conversation like we normally do. But then I got a feeling that, wait a minute, this ain’t what it usually is. I also got another feeling of, okay, Sheryl, this is time for you to step up into the leadership position … this is time for you to show what you’re made of, and in a personal way. No matter what somebody says about you, I can show you something better than I can tell you.”
Ms. Underwood handled herself impeccably during the segment and after.

Sheryl could have mentioned all the times Piers has said racist things like that time he called Chinese dairy “ching chong ching milk” and many other times. Sharon needs to calm down and actually look into the allegations made against piers cos she’ll see that he has indeed said many controversial and racist things all to become like a bootleg Simon Cowell which is pathetic and why he had a job on GMB is beyond me he has no likeable qualities or charm or charisma he looks like a slapped a*** constantly eww
sheryl is a much better person than me
Lol..
So happy the b**** is cancelled.
Girl move to Florida and retired. No one wants to hear ur dated, racist views..
America is the DUMBEST melting pot in the world… Constantly allowing ppl WHO HATE AMERICANS( black ppl are more AMERICAN than most) to move here and to represent us..disgusting
You need help! Will pray for you.
They just jumped on this poor White woman for no reason💅🏿💅🏿 Smh… women love to start a war and drama some s h I t. I can’t…..
So True
I wish your parents loved you a little more as a child because it’s just sad to watch you seek validation on post after post after post.
The best thing we can do is ignore your desperate ass and watch you tapdance all by yourself like the ignorant buffoon you are. Continue to be their stepping stone because they have always needed a strong back to help them do what they couldn’t anyway. Weak ass b****.
Right….. J aka jackass bish💅🏿💅🏿 I still got you to replying my comment so more power to me. Whatever you said is not true. I got all kinds of LOVE ❤️ 💕 I just have to so
I can say whatever I wanna say. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else💅🏿 Bye Felicia
I hollered!! 😭
Yay .. all the racist are getting canned.
Ugly, no chin having, thin disgusting pink skin, smell like dogs and mildew, walk around with lice in their hair.. what a gross group of monstrosities…
Just die off already
Watch Cheryl get Sharon’s job or something 😂🤣 They’ve gotta can Sharon/Karen after this
😂😂I really hope so!
Typical fat black woman playing the victim and dropping the race card. She still couldn’t say what Piers said that was racist like most black people.
Poorly constructed sentence, you racist troll. Here’s how the last line should read, dumb f***:
“As with most black people, she couldn’t identify anything racist in what Piers said.”
Side note: Piers is canceled racist mofo, just like ur dumbass, Danzou. Keep working on that abysmal grammar, clown. But don’t worry, I’ll always be here to correct that a$$
NO CLOWN my sentence was perfect just the way it was, I wrote nothing wrong and it kills you inside that I still OWN the Fancy BISH name 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Piers is not cancelled DUMMY, he is still making moves and his book is selling out.
Niggà…that sentence was pure s***, like everything that comes out of ur mouth 💩💩. I give no f**** about you using Fancy’s name. We all know it’s your crazy racist a$$ anyway, so that s*** doesn’t even matter. Piers Morgan is a pariah and we Iove to see it 💙💙
I ain’t no 𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚊 yuck, I can tell by your response that I have you so pressed 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You must be my biggest fan the way you stalk my comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣. STAY PRESSED!
It was very admirable the way that she kept her composure and calmly articulated her viewpoint in the face of an aggressive, rude, overly defensive response from her so called friend.
We all bleed the same color of blood! If I were blind I wouldn’t know what color anyone was anyways.
For the love of Pete!! Can we get rid of all the labels and name calling!! Unhealthy for everyone!!
