Sheryl Underwood has extended an olive branch to Sharon Osbourne, five years after Sharon was kicked off The Talk following a huge fight over Meghan Markle.
Underwood, 62, said she reached out to Sharon after her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, died of a heart attack in July 2025 at the age of 76.
“Let me just say this: I still believe there is love between me and Sharon Osbourne,” Underwood said on Tuesday’s episode of “The View.” “When Ozzy passed by, I tried to reach out.”
she continued. “I love her. Sometimes my colleagues and co-workers find out, but… I hope it doesn’t get this big. I’ll be honest with you, you don’t sit next to someone that long and you don’t have any love.”
However, the comedian also admitted that he was “scared” to reach out to Sharon, 73, after their feud on The Talk in March 2021 because he didn’t want to be “misunderstood.”
“And that’s why people say, ‘Cheryl, why didn’t you call me when[the fight]happened?’ I’m afraid to leave a voicemail,” Underwood explained. “Because in the business we’re in, your voicemail could end up showing up somewhere or being misinterpreted.”
She added, “I’d rather stay quiet than keep hurting people because someday I’m going to have to face God.”
The “Beauty Shop” star went on to say that she was ready to reconcile with Sharon and asked “The View” panel for help in making that happen.
“I didn’t do everything right, but if anyone can unite us…Howard Stern, please unite us,” Underwood concluded. “Yes, unite us.”
Representatives for Underwood and Sharon did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
An explosive fight between the two broke out during an episode of CBS’ The Talk in March 2021 after Sharon defended Piers Morgan’s controversial comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
After Underwood questioned Sharon’s defense of Morgan and Sharon’s statements about the “Suits” alum, Sharon became furious and told Underwood, “Please don’t cry.”
CBS suspended the show and launched an internal investigation into the surprising on-air dispute before concluding that Sharon’s actions were inconsistent with the network’s values. She left the show shortly thereafter.
“What’s up? When we started talking about Meghan Markle, I said to Piers, who was on the show, and to Sharon, ‘You’ve got to get off Meghan Markle,'” Underwood recalled on Tuesday’s episode of The View.
“Her mother is from Windsor Hills, so she won’t let it drag her down,” she added. “Meghan is at Windsor Palace.”
As for Sharon, she reflected on the incident during a 2024 episode of “The Sage Steele Show.”
The “Osbourne” alum apologized to Underwood after the fight, but she told Steele that she “didn’t want to apologize.”
“I felt like I didn’t do anything wrong,” Sharon told the former ESPN anchor. “But my kid said to me, ‘Just apologize to her. Maybe you’re wrong, maybe she misread you or something. Please apologize, just in case.'”
she continued. “And I did. I apologized to her. I called her. She didn’t answer the phone. And she lied and said I never apologized. I record it all on my phone.”
