==== ''The Talk'' ====
In July 2011, Osbourne and some of her fellow ''[[The Talk (talk show)|The Talk]]'' panellists were criticised for their conduct when discussing the story of [[Catherine Kieu]]. Osbourne described Kieu's [[Penis removal#Sexual assault|cutting off of her husband's penis]] and putting it in a [[garbage disposal]] as "quite fabulous", Osbourne also laughed about the incident with her fellow panellists and members of the audience. Osbourne's cohost Sara Gilbert offered the counterpoint "Not to be a total buzz kill, but it is a little bit sexist. If somebody cut a woman's breast off, nobody would be sitting laughing." Osbourne replied by saying "It's different".<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/the-talk-ladies-under-fire-for-laughing-at-catherine-kieu-story-video/2011/07/18/gIQA3OjkLI_blog.html | newspaper=The Washington Post | date=18 July 2011 | title='The Talk' ladies under fire for laughing at Catherine Kieu story (Video)}}</ref> Osbourne later apologised for her behaviour, stating "she was sorry she offended people" and that she "did not condone genital mutilation".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Crawford, Sue, 1963-|title=Sharon Osbourne : unauthorized, uncensored - understood|date=2005|publisher=Michael O'Mara|isbn=1-84317-148-1|location=London|oclc=57751122}}</ref>

Osbourne's co-hosts on ''The Talk'', [[Leah Remini]] and [[Holly Robinson Peete]] were released from their contracts in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=Enough Talk: Holly Robinson Peete "Officially" Not Returning to Chatfest|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/261761/enough-talk-holly-robinson-peete-officially-not-returning-to-chatfest|author=Brandi Fowler|website=[[E!]] Online|publisher=[[Comcast]] Entertainment Group|date=2 September 2011|access-date=26 December 2011}}</ref> Osbourne spoke of their dismissals in December 2011 on ''[[The Howard Stern Show]]'', stating: "Some people don't really know who they are, and you have to know who you are when you're in something like this.

On 10 March 2021, while speaking on ''The Talk'', Osbourne defended [[Piers Morgan]]'s negative comments towards [[Meghan, Duchess of Sussex]], resulting in a heated exchange with co-host [[Sheryl Underwood]]. Osbourne's behaviour towards Underwood during the argument was criticised as harsh and aggressive.<ref name="nytimes.com">{{Cite news|date=27 March 2021|title=Sharon Osbourne Leaves 'The Talk,' CBS Says|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/27/business/media/sharon-osbourne-leaves-the-talk-cbs.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211228/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/27/business/media/sharon-osbourne-leaves-the-talk-cbs.html |archive-date=28 December 2021 |url-access=limited|access-date=21 April 2021|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|language=en}}{{cbignore}}</ref> In the same month, a 2018 clip from ''The Talk'' resurfaced in which Osbourne was discussing the Duchess of Sussex's skin colour.

In the midst of her scandal and termination from ''The Talk'', both Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini, Osbourne's former cohosts, took to social media to reproach Osbourne over her conduct in relation to her removal from the show, pointing out that they had been treated similarly by her, citing additional acts of discriminatory behaviours from her towards additional cast members. Osbourne responded with threats of defamation lawsuits against both Peete and Remini, but ultimately did nothing.<ref>{{cite web |last=Murphy|first=Desiree|title=Leah Remini Claims Sharon Osbourne Used Racist and Homophobic Language Towards 'The Talk' Co-Hosts|url=https://www.etonline.com/leah-remini-claims-sharon-osbourne-used-racist-and-homophobic-language-towards-the-talk-co-hosts|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|access-date=25 July 2021|date=16 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Del Rosario|first=Alexandra|title=Sharon Osbourne Responds After Holly Robinson Peete Claims Her Former 'The Talk' Co-Host Said She Was "Too Ghetto" For CBS Show – Update|url=https://deadline.com/2021/03/holly-robinson-peete-sharon-osbourne-the-talk-too-ghetto-1234713441/|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|access-date=25 July 2021|date=13 March 2021}}</ref>
