Sheryl Underwood Reaches Out to Sharon Osbourne
In a heartfelt revelation, Sheryl Underwood stated, “I still believe there’s some love between me and Sharon Osbourne.” This statement marks a significant moment in their relationship, as it comes five years after a public feud that erupted during an episode of The Talk in March 2021.
The conflict began when Osbourne defended Piers Morgan‘s controversial comments regarding Meghan Markle. Underwood, who was co-hosting at the time, confronted Osbourne about her support for Morgan, leading to a heated exchange that ultimately resulted in an internal investigation by CBS. The network concluded that Osbourne’s behavior did not align with its values, leading to her dismissal from the show shortly thereafter.
Fast forward to 2026, Underwood reached out to Osbourne following the death of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025. “I tried to reach out when Ozzy passed,” Underwood shared, indicating her desire to reconnect during a difficult time for Osbourne.
Reflecting on their past, Underwood expressed her belief that there is still a foundation of love between them, despite the tumultuous history. “I don’t like to beef with my coworkers,” she remarked during a guest appearance on The View, emphasizing her wish to move forward positively.
Underwood’s journey has been marked by personal challenges, including the suicide of her husband in 1990, which has shaped her views on relationships. She mentioned, “I’ve been a widow for a few decades, and I’m looking for a man who’s willing to be in a monogamous relationship with me while he lives in his own separate house.” This statement highlights her preference for independence, even as she seeks companionship.
The fallout from the feud had lasting impacts, as The Talk was ultimately canceled three years after the incident. The show’s cancellation reflects the broader implications of the conflict, which resonated beyond the studio and into public discourse about race and media representation.
As Underwood extends this olive branch, it remains to be seen how Osbourne will respond and whether their relationship can be reconciled. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential future interactions between the two. However, Underwood’s willingness to reach out suggests a desire for healing and understanding in the wake of their past disagreements.
