Former 'The Talk' Host Holly Robinson Peete Says Sharon Osbourne Complained She Was Too 'Ghetto'
(https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/the-talk.jpg)
Holly Robinson Peete, one of the original hosts of CBS' "The Talk," has resurfaced claims that her co-host Sharon Osbourne complained Peete was too "ghetto" for the show, resulting in Peete's dismissal. Peete and fellow host Leah Remini were released from "The Talk" after its first season in 2011.
"I'm old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too 'ghetto' for 'The Talk'...then I was gone," Peete tweeted on Friday. "I bring this up now [because] I was mortified watching the disrespectful condescending tone she took [with] her co-host who remained calm & respectful...she HAD to."

Remini has made the same claim against Osbourne in the past, saying in a Twitter Q&A in 2012 that Osbourne called her and Peete "ghetto" and had asked for them to be fired.
"Sharon thought me and Holly were 'Ghetto', (her words) we were not funny, awkward and didn't know ourselves," Remini wrote on Twitter at the time. In response to another question she tweeted "Sharon said she asked [for] us to be fired."
Osbourne refuted Remini's claims the next day, saying she had nothing to do with her exit.
"In response to Leah Remini's continuous comments that I had her fired from 'The Talk,' let me just go on the record to say...I had absolutely nothing to do [with] her departure from the show & have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip...Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show...It's been seven months. It's time to move on," Osbourne tweeted.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter in late 2011, Peete said she didn't know why she was axed from the talk show. "Still to this day, I don't know. I speculate in my mind, but in trying to move forward all I can say is, 'Hey, is it because of my performance?' I don't think so."
Osbourne, who has been a host on "The Talk" for all 11 seasons, is currently under fire for defending Piers Morgan after his comments about Meghan Markle after Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
On "Good Morning Britain" this week, Morgan said he didn't believe Markle's claims of bullying within the Royal Family and the suicidal thoughts she experienced as a result of the high stress. Morgan immediately received backlash and quit the show, while Osbourne was one of the few celebrities to voice support for him.

Facing her own backlash, Osbourne apologized on Friday for her statement, saying "Please hear me when I say I do not condone racism, misogyny or bullying. I should have been more specific about that in my tweet. I will always support freedom of speech, but not I see how I unintentionally didn't make that clear distinction."

A CBS spokesperson did not not immediately respond to a request for comment.

yikes!! holly is far from ghetto lolz
I def got a feeling that Sheryl was just tryna keep her job watching that clip of her interacting with Sharon about that piers mess.
like she wanted to go IN a bit more with her but she was tip toeing for some reason.
other than being a kiss-ass, etc.
she was def holding back.
Love that this is resurfacing. I never used her after Leah Remini exposed her ass for saying her and Holly were ghetto.
Sharon should have sat there and ate her fuckin food.
and this statement sharon released with "black" having no capitalization on the B :udontlookok:
u sure u close to the community, sis?

sdfdsssddd
Yea
So can we finally cancel this wrinkly bitch for good?
Her, her husband and the whole family are fucking weirdos
She was very racist on the UK Xfactor.
I think Simon is a bit racist too.
"Ghetto" is often code word for "too Black for me". Which is why I side eye people who throw it around a lot in a serious , condescending manner . *cough*nene and funky*cough*
Sharon's personal tolerance for blackness just happens to be a little lower than others. That's all tbh. Of course holly was "ghetto" to her.
One wrong look or gesture and this black bitch is outta control and needs to go. You see how Sheryl was tip toeing around their conversation . She knows what time it is.
A lot of Black women have to deal with this btw
If they're not perky and smiling 100% of the time , there's plenty of room to label them as "aggressive" or "mean" or "unapproachable". Which could all be more code language for "get this black bitch out of here. She's TOO black. She makes me uncomfortable."
Basically a more HR friendly version of "she's too ghetto".
The way they look is strike one right owt the gate . They're already skating on thin ice just by walking through the door.
A black woman in this clip below shared that people in management at her job actually called her "aggressive" to her face .

So THAT'S why Sheryl behaved that way.
See blacks were about to go pitchfork and horns on her not KNOWING the racism extends past Sharon. It's fckn CBS
Holly is a great woman. I've met her before.
I'm so glad she didn't choose to sit this one out. She prolly saw Sheryl being skewered by her own community and spoke out.
Why do we do each other like this?!
This white bitch can get on air and do that and the main take away was, Sheryl was TOO professional.
Yet if she acted out. "Oh that bitch just ghetto, did you see her get Sharon together, oooh nig hahaha"
You can def tell Sheryl was scared to cross a line in that clip. Even tho she def wanted to . She was treading lightly, but holding back.
I couldn't drag her for that. We tread carefully every day to keep our jobs.
But i think people were quick to assume it was something else because of her history .... making fun of Black hair while saying White hair is more valuable, etc.
Makes it easier to conclude the worst about her in a situation such as this.

i think they may fire her.
an investigation is usually part of the process for any large company....but the fact that sharon is even in this process should have her shakin in her boots a bit.
im pretty sure that's what prompted her apology. she knows what time it is.
we're in an era where edginess from employees can definitely affect a company's money
and at the end of the day a liability is a liability.
we see what happened with Roseanne.
her racism was way more direct though, which left plenty of room for IMMEDIATE dismissal.
they have to look into these claims on Sharon because it's a lot more subtle.

!!!!!! Sharon simply tried and was likely advised to jump out in front of this news a bit. There's no way each host wasn't told "hey, we're gonna take a pause on production for a bit". She ain't slick or smart
I can't get over what she did live on the air :uhh: "if anyone should be crying it should be me". Really??

Didn't she touch Brandy's hair one time?
CBS is trash and must pay.
