A number of celebrities have been forced to lay low and halt their careers after their images are tarnished due to various controversies in these past five months.

AceShowbiz - When talking about Piers Morgan's scandal that unseated him from "Great Morning Britain", one cannot forget Sharon Osbourne. A friend of the British journalist, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne defended his negative comments toward Meghan Markle in a March 10 episode of "The Talk", resulting in a heated exchange with co-host Sheryl Underwood. In the same month, a 2018 clip from "The Talk" resurfaced in which Sharon was discussing the Duchess of Sussex's skin color. She said at the time that Meghan "ain't black" and that "she doesn't look black."
Following the heated on-air debate, "The Talk" went on a week hiatus, while CBS conducted a review on Sharon. The network then concluded that the 68-year-old's "behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with [CBS] values for a respectful workplace." She ultimately left the show, later claiming that she has been blacklisted from U.S. television following the controversy.
