CBS'S SCAPEGOAT

Telling her side of the story, Osbourne sat down with DailyMail and revealed that she suspects that she can lose her spot on CBS's "The Talk." Osbourne shared:

Osbourne said that her co-hosts were reading questions off their cue cards that she didn't have, targeting her defense of Morgan. Despite how the conversation, Osbourne is prepared to go back for a better conversation, saying:

"I wish we could go on and have a adult conversation calmly and work it out but I don't know whether we can."

"THE TALK" HIATUS

Since all the drama surrounding the 68-year-old British host went down, CBS decided to suspend "The Talk" to work through the issues that came up.

Osbourne has been anything but silent about her side of the story, talking to various media outlets and releasing a lengthy statement of her own to provide clarity on the situation.

With the allegations of racial slur and derogatory comments towards her current and previous co-hosts, the backlash seems to be growing by the day.
