Sharon Osbourne named the “more than woke” CBS executives who ousted her from her show “The Talk” and said “they’ve destroyed” her.

“They are desperate to keep their jobs, they are desperate in these times we live in to be perceived as more than woke,” the 69-year-old former talk show co-host shared Tuesday during the “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on Sirius XM.

“You know, they wanna be seen as Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ …  but they’re all hypocrites,” she added. “They’re liars and they’re hypocrites and they’ll do whatever they have to do to keep their job.” (RELATED: ‘Do We Still Have To Believe Her?’: Piers Morgan Slams Meghan Markle For Secret Wedding Claims)

The host asked Sharon why this happened and if “one person at CBS” was “behind this whole thing” against her.

Osbourne named Amy Reisenbach, CBS executive vice president, Current Programs, who she’d met in her life “maybe three times.” She also named show’s showrunners Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews.

“I had worked with the showrunners for eleven years, they were friends of mine, especially Kristin Matthews,” Sharon shared. “I told them that they’ve destroyed me. I told them that I will never be able to get over this. It’s like once you have that seed put on you that you are a racist, it never goes away. And I told them that they’ve destroyed me.”

Earlier this year, “The Talk” went on hiatus following Sharon’s comments in support of Piers Morgan’s “freedom of speech,” who said he didn’t believe any of Meghan Markle’s claims made during her tell-all interview. Osbourne and co-host Sheryl Underwood ended up getting into a heated debate on air following the Duchess of Sussex accusations of racism in the royal family.

At one point in the interview, Osbourne was asked what she thought happened and she said CBS’s ratings were in the tank and they scored a huge win with the Oprah Winfrey tell-all interview with Prince Harry and Markle. She added that nothing and no one was allowed to come along and tarnish it.

“The network was failing and this was their big coup,” Osbourne said. “To them it was like untouchable. You can’t, can not say anything against that interview.”

“And because Piers Morgan was saying what he felt about it in a negative way,” she added. “And because I was standing behind [his comments], I don’t think they liked it at all.”

“They didn’t like the fact that I didn’t go against Piers,” the TV personality continued. She noted how she didn’t think anything of what she said, as she was talking to a friend who she’d worked with for 10 seasons when she made the comment to Underwood. “She was a family friend. And then boom she puts me on the hot seat and talking about racism.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
