Elaine Welteroth gives explanation for consoling Sharon Osbourne following on-air blowup in leaked audio

"The Talk" co-host Elaine Welteroth responded to leaked audio of herself consoling Sharon Osbourne following the explosive debate that led to Osbourne's exit.

"Today, however, I learned that my private comments made moments after the incident from a place of compassion to a then-colleague (the most senior level co-host on The Talk) were recorded—without my consent or knowledge—and shared with the media." Welteroth claimed that everything she has shared has been "consistent" with what was said on the show.
