‘The Talk’ returns after Sharon Osbourne exit, Sheryl Underwood cites ‘PTSD’ following on-air spat

Sheryl Underwood says she experienced PTSD following her heated on-air discussion with Sharon Osbourne that preceded Osbourne’s exit from “The Talk.” The former reality star left the show in March.

"I feel like I’ve been in, like, PTSD because it was a trauma," Underwood explained. "And I feel like I want to get past this because I really wanted to get back to work with my friends and my colleagues and the crew … but I also wanted to get back to the audience." The comedian also leaned into the issues at hand and told viewers that she and the remaining members of "The Talk" would "honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of our feelings," adding that the crew would "also show you how anyone can become more comfortable discussing important issues and having difficult conversations."
