My previous coverage of The Talk kerfuffle should have left no question as to where my loyalties lie.  But lest my opinion be too subtle, let me clarify – there was clearly a concentrated campaign to oust Sharon Osbourne.  When asked on her podcast if Sharon has reached out to her since the dust-up, Sheryl said, “No”.  And that’s a lie.  Osbourne released screenshots of two messages she sent to Underwood – one the day after the incident, and one a few days after that.  “I not only sent these messages to Sheryl but I apologized to her in person in her dressing room.  Why are you saying I never apologized Sheryl?  What are you trying to do to me?  Why are you trying to destroy my reputation?” asked Sharon.  Why indeed.
