THE Talk will feature a diversity expert as a guest on the first show after Sharon Osbourne’s exit.
The 68-year-old recently left the talk show due to “racism accusations” made against her.
The Talk is set to return with new episodes on Monday, which will mark the first episode since Sharon’s exit last month.
During the upcoming episode, diversity, equity, inclusion and justice expert Donald E. Grant and nationally acclaimed trauma therapist and life coach Anita Phillips will sit down the hosts.
According to The Wrap, Donald will be “offering advice on how to have these difficult conversations.”
Meanwhile, Anita “will share her expertise on how to heal after a painful event or conversation.”
Amanda Kloots, Elaine Welteroth, Carrie Ann Inaba and Sheryl Underwood will continue to co-host the talk show following Sharon’s exit.
The longtime co-host left the program after an on-air battle occurred when Sheryl made it clear she did not agree with Sharon after she defended Piers Morgan.
The 56-year-old previously cast doubt on the Meghan Markle’s shocking claims during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, which included feeling suicidal while pregnant with her first child.
The co-hosts exchanged furious words before Sharon was left in tears during the heated segment.
Following the intense argument, many fans deemed Sharon’s actions as racist as she defended Piers’ insensitive comments about Meghan.
Soon after, Sharon’s former cohost Leah Remini claimed the ex America’s Got Talent judge has a history of bullying and racist language.
Leah, 50, accused Sharon of referring to ex cohost Julie Chen as a “wonton” and “slanty eyes” on a regular basis.
Sharon later left the The Talk after 11 seasons, while speculation began that the program was looking at a possible cancelation.
Despite her exit, the network is not currently looking to replace Sharon’s empty chair at this moment.
CBS announced Sharon’s exit in late March, sharing in a statement: “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The Talk.
“The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home.
“As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace.
“We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.”
