Freedom of speech or empathy? Sharon Osbourne chose Piers Morgan over fellow depression sufferer Meghan Markle
Sharon Osbourne was in the news for all the wrong reasons for almost the whole of March after she defended Piers Morgan’s less-than-pleasant comments about Meghan Markle. She recently has had to leave ‘The Talk’ after being accused of racism and mistreatment. But she is also walking away with a $10 million payout and a non-disclosure agreement
The 'royal' controversy began after Meghan Markle along with Prince Harry gave an explosive interview to the chat show queen Oprah Winfrey on March 7 and explained how she felt suicidal while living in the UK. The former actress told Winfrey, “That was a very clear and real and frightening thought. I couldn't be left alone.”
In the interview, she also claimed that when the palace refused to provide any help, she had to reach out to someone who was one of late Lady Diana's "best friends". “Yes, this was very clear and very scary. I did not know who to turn to. One of the people I reached out to, who has been a friend and a confidante, was one of Diana’s best friends. Who else could understand what it is actually like on the inside,” Meghan told Oprah Winfrey.
