Sharon Osbourne will take part in a new four-part documentary series for the streaming-video outlet Fox Nation that will examine her personal and professional lives as well as her much-scrutinized exit from the CBS daytime series “The Talk.”
Osbourne intends to document her experience at CBS and discuss the events that led to her departure in March of 2021. Osbourne, a colorful personality and one-time music manager, first came to broader renown in the MTV reality series “The Osbournes,” which depicted her life with rock singer Ozzy Osbourne. She left “The Talk” after defending controversial remarks by commentator Piers Morgan about Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Morgan is currently working for the Murdoch family, the principal owners of Fox Corp., and takes part in a show that also appears on Fox Nation.
