Sharon Osbourne said the accusations that she allegedly called her former co-host on “The Talk” Julie Chen a “wonton” are “crap, all crap.”
“Everyone’s got an opinion or a story like the wonton story,” Osbourne told the Daily Mail in a piece published Wednesday. “It’s like f*ck off with your f*cking wonton story,” she added. “F*ck off!”

“Everybody’s got an opinion and everybody’s got a voice – it’s fine,” Osbourne continued. “It’s about knowing somebody’s been called out for something and then somebody else is like, ‘yes!! I’m going to add something too.'” (RELATED: Trump Jr. Slams CBS For Pulling ‘The Talk’ After Backlash Involving Piers Morgan)
Sharon explained the accusations have “no real foundation,” saying, “Allegations of calling a Chinese lady a wonton, it’s like – is that all you’ve got?”
“I couldn’t care less,” she added. “And I’m not going to defend myself. It’s like, oh shut up – I’m too bloody busy.”
Journalist Yashar Ali recently reported on the issue. Multiple sources from the piece alleged that Osbourne called her co-host “wonton” and “slanty eyes.” The sources also alleged that Osbourne referred to former co-host and lesbian Sara Gilbert as a “p*ssy licker.”

“The Talk” went on hiatus following Sharon’s comments in support of Piers Morgan, who said he didn’t believe any of Meghan Markle’s claims made during her tell-all interview. Later in the week, Osbourne tweeted a lengthy apology.
