Donald Trump Jr. says it’s “crazy” CBS has put “The Talk” on hold while investigating a heated exchange between Sharon Osbourne and co-host Sheryl Underwood.
The show announced Monday that they were canceling their live shows until Wednesday to watch the bracelet, which came after Osbourne defended his lifelong friend Piers Morgan, who accused Meghan Markle of lying in her recent report. Oprah.
“This is going crazy!” Don Jr., 43 he wrote next to a tweet of Morgan. “Now other programs are being released because someone who really knows another person doesn’t think they are racist simply because another person accused them baselessly simply because they didn’t believe another person. I have it?!?”
Morgan, 55, wrote Monday of the controversy, “So @CBS has ripped The Talk out of the air as it investigates @MrsSOsbourne’s” scandal “that defended me when @sherylunderwood said it was” racist “for not believing Meghan Markle. The scandal REAL is that I call myself a racist for refusing to believe a liar ”.
The drama first unfolded last week when Morgan came out of “Good Morning Britain” during a debate with co-host Alex Beresford about Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Shortly afterwards, Morgan announced that he would definitely leave the show.
His lifelong friend Osbourne defended him shortly afterwards and tweeted, “I’m with you. I’m by your side. People forget you’re being paid for your opinion and you’re just telling the truth.”
Then, during an episode of “The Talk,” Osbourne said, “I liked everything [Morgan] dit? Did I agree with what he said? No, because that is his opinion. It’s not my opinion. But why have I supported a friend and co-worker of mine for so many years that everyone goes there, if you support him, you have to be racist because he is racist? “
Underwood responded that Morgan’s “involvement” in dismissing Markle was racist, rather than his own words.
After the debate, Osbourne issued a lengthy apology, saying he did not “condone racism, misogyny or harassment.”
In response, Morgan, who allegedly “thrives in the uproar,” tried to apologize to CBS.
