Sharon Osbourne Apologizes For 'Panicked' Defense Of Piers Morgan On 'The Talk'

Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah was air on Sunday night, public opinion has definitely been divided.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan controversially left the show after stating that he didn't believe anything Meghan had revealed, including her mental health struggles, and not everyone felt that was the right move, including Sharon Osbourne.

On Wednesday's episode of *The Talk*, Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood got into an emotional discussion of Piers' comments.

Sharon had previously tweeted her support for Piers, writing, "I am with you. I stand by you. People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth."

After facing backlash from Sheryl and fans alike, Sharon has now taken to social media to apologize.

Sharon shared a statement on her Twitter.

"After some reflection, after sitting with your comments & sitting with my heart I would like to address the discussion on The Talk this past Wednesday. I have always been embraced with much love & support from the black community ," Sharon wrote.

"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 & allowed my fear & horror of being accused of being racist take over. There are very few things that hurt my heart more than racism to feel associated with that spun me fast!" Sharon continued.

"I am not perfect, I am still learning like the rest of us & will continue to learn, listen and do better," she wrote.

"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 now I see how I unintentionally didn't make that clear distinction."

"I hope we can collectively continue to learn from each other & from ourselves so we can all continue to pave the way for much needed growth and change."

"The community on this platform means a lot to me. I hope we can all hold each other up with accountability, compassion & love during this powerful time of paving the way for so much needed change."
