Sharon’s drama all began right after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. The next morning, Piers Morgan claimed on Good Morning Britain that he didn’t believe any of Meghan’s claims that she experienced suicidal thoughts during her time behind closed doors at Buckingham Palace. Soon after that Sharon defended her friend Piers on The Talk, which led to her debate with Sherryl. CBS is now investigating reports of an alleged “racially insensitive and hostile environment” on the show.

It now looks like Sharon is getting ready to battle her bosses, just in case things get even more heated than they already are. One source close to the situation told Page Six, “Sharon wasted no time in getting her lawyers immediately on the case.

So far Sharon herself has not made any comments about the matter, and nor has CBS said anything about extended the current hiatus for the show. We will definitely update you with all of the latest details as they come in.
