Sharon Osbourne speaks out on return to media after CBS 'ambush': 'I have no idea' what happened
TV personality Sharon Osbourne touches on the British royal family, her return to England and her Fox Nation series dropping Monday.
Fox Nation host Sharon Osbourne said she "had no idea" what happened after CBS "ambushed" her on-air and her close friend turned her back on her in the process.
Osbourne faced backlash from CBS for defending Piers Morgan's criticism of Oprah Winfrey's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, assuring her longtime friend was not a racist for doubting Markle's accusations of racism hurled at the royal family.
"In the break, I was cussing, I was like ‘what the bleep are you doing to me?’" she said during her "Fox & Friends Weekend" appearance Sunday. "We didn't rehearse this. Why are you doing this to me? And, boom, we're back from the break, and they start again.
