Exclusive: Sharon Osbourne Frequently Referred to Julie Chen as ‘Wonton’ and ‘Slanty Eyes,’ Sources Say

Sharon Osbourne, co-host of the CBS daytime panel show “The Talk,” would frequently refer to then-co-host Julie Chen, who is Chinese American, as “wonton” and “slanty eyes,” according to multiple sources, including former co-host Leah Remini.

Osbourne also referred to former co-host and executive producer Sara Gilbert, who is a lesbian, as “pussy licker” and “fish eater,” according to multiple sources including Remini.

The accusations come as Osbourne faces a torrent of criticism for not only publicly supporting British TV personality Piers Morgan—who accused Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, of lying about having suicidal thoughts and doubted her accounts of racism within the royal family and their court—but also appearing defensive and angry and ordering one of her co-hosts to not cry when asked about the blowback during a segment on “The Talk.”

Though Osbourne has spoken abusively for years with little to no consequence, she’s facing significant scrutiny for the first time in her career as a TV personality. “The Talk” has been put on hiatus as its co-hosts past and present air grievances on Twitter, and Osbourne is threatening at least one of them with litigation.

But sources say Osbourne has a long history of racist language and bullying and it’s time she owns up to it.

1. She seems nice.

[rsdsharp]

8. And smart!

Sara Gilbert was executive producer, and Julie Chen was married to the head of the network. I’m guessing she didn’t use her pet names to their faces.

[OnDoutside]

2. As they say, she seems nice..

[hurple]

3. She's the manager of a highly successful rock artist

Of course she's a bully.

Never met a successful manager who wasn't.

[brush]

4. Hmmmm? Is it catching up to her as it did Morgan?

If those allegations about Chin are true, I don't see how she survives this.

As I always say, ya kinda have to be stupid to be a racist. Sooner or later it will be exposed.

[dalton99a]

5. No-talent trash with money and a British accent

[Traildogbob]

23. You mean like Pierce????

[Cha]

6. Good idea.. "own up to it".. if she

thought it was ok to use stupid racist language then own it..

It says more about her than anything about her targets.

[maxsolomon]

7. well, hold her accountable.

she should apologize, work to stop such behavior, and make amends with those she's offended.

a culture of accountability.

[Justice]

9. Truly horrifying.

[jimfields33]

19. I'd rather hear Chen and Gilbert first

Remini is a good actress but she knows Osborn was part of her firing.

[hlthe2b]

10. That's pattern--not a mere nasty, out-of-control, but isolated utterance during an argument.

Given her past life with the nasty-assed Live Bat-decapitator/eater (why he was never prosecuted for that still escapes me), I can't say I'm surprised.

[Rorey]

25. Isolated utterances during arguments

If somebody says something disgusting during the heat of an argument, I think we can safely assume that those ugly thoughts are part of who they are.

Osbourne will cry and beg for forgiveness, I suppose, but I bet she's done. As she should be.

[obamanut2012]

40. He wasn't prosecuted because he didn;t do anything

Ozzie is an abusive POS, but the bat in incident isn't his fault.

A fan threw the bat on stage, and he thought it was fake and bit the head off. So, the fan should have been cited.

[hlthe2b]

41. Ok. In the nearly 4 decades since he did that, I'm surprised I've never heard that, but good

I still think he's an asshole, but at least not an overt animal sadist.

[Srkdqltr]

11. I dont understand how one makes amands for that kind of name calling?

I'm sure she won't be respected again. How does one ake classes or counseling for this? How do those disrespected ever look at her the same way?

Frankly if someone disrespected me that way I would not be friendly with her.

[Srkdqltr]

13. Assuming she cares.

[Mr.Bill]

35. She could run for Congress

as a republican.

[Srkdqltr]

37. Never liked her anyway.

She seems rather trampy.

[demmiblue]

12. Holly Robinson Peete:

I’m old enough to remember when Sharon complained that I was too “ghetto” for #theTalk...then I was gone.
I bring this up now bc I was mortified watching the disrespectful condescending tone she took w/her co host who remained calm & respectful because...she HAD to

[dalton99a]

17. +1. There is a long pattern.

[KarenS]

14. As someone who used to watch her on this show,,,,,

Let's just say I am not surprised to hear these things,,,, I wonder what she calls Sheryl Underwood.

If it's true then hold her accountable.

[Celerity]

15. just like daddy, a fucking POS

[Dave Starsky]

39. Her dad was known as one of the biggest assholes in the music industry.

And that's saying something.

16. More background:

[BlueTsunami2018]

18. She's well known for being as hardcore as they come.

Anyone who knows anything about her business dealings knows she’s as ruthless and cutthroat as any mobster. Cold, brutal and willing to screw anyone to gain advantage. That she’s a bully is the least surprising thing anyone has ever said about her. She refers to herself as a “great big c**t”.

So, no shock here. That’s how she’s always been.

[Clash City Rocker]

20. What were her credentials for being there in the first place?

Her husband? Her horrible reality show? In a just world, I wouldn’t even recognize her name.

[Grins]

21. CBS hired her. They knew who she was.

Eff them for hiring the ignorant has-been bigot from the beginning.

[tanyev]

22. Woman married to *checks computer screen again* Ozzy Osbourne says what?

[dsc]

24. I really doubt she called Julie Chen that

not because I have any idea if she is or isn't racist enough to do so, but because Julie Chen is Les Moonves' wife. There is no way on earth she wouldn't have been bounced on her ear for that.

[blueinredohio]

26. I've always thought she was very rude.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. I am out of it. The only name I recognize is piers morgan and Meghan

but you know, I don't watch TV, only msnbc online.

[OMGWTF]

28. I watched one episode of the weird Osbourne reality show and they had many dogs in their house

all of which were allowed to shit anywhere they wanted. I almost puked when I saw that. Stay klassy Sharon.

[iluvtennis]

29. She needs to be FIRED. nt

[multigraincracker]

30. Flunked out of

Finishing school. Most hard rockers do.

[Sympthsical]

31. So everyone knew and did nothing

What is with Hollywood and celebrities and this sort of thing? Everyone always seems to know about bad behavior and worse. No one says or does a single thing until some story comes along, and then it's all, "Oh that was all going on for years." Ok, and no one spoke up? No one? You sat there, knowing about it, and said nothing? Do you want applause for speaking up now, when it's utterly safe and trivial to do so?

Profiles in courage, these people.

Everyone knew about Weinstein for years. Everyone knew about Spacey. Everyone knows about Bryan Singer. Hell, 30 Rock was making jokes about it as far back as 2008. Seth MacFarlane referenced it in an Oscar nomination ceremony in 2013.

But now that Osborne is on the hot seat, here come our celebrity angels, wanting a pat on the back for speaking out. Years later.

Sigh. I hate celebrities.

[Raine]

38. Totally agree

now all the "brave" celebrities jump on board but were silent (if they're to be believed) for years and now they expect pats on the back.

[TNNurse]

32. Well, no wonder I do not watch this show.

[SKKY]

33. I think we should give Sharon some credit...

...it is not an easy feat to out crazy a metal singer who bit the head off a bat in front of a live audience. But here she is. Living the dream.

[ffr]

34. Childish and unforgivable.

[2Gingersnaps]

36. Sounds like just the right kind of person

to be making excuses for a bloviating bag of ego like Piers Morgan.

[MineralMan]

42. Oddly enough, I have never seen "The Talk." Not even once.

Is that weird of me?
