Sharon Osbourne, whose recent glee at a Californian man’s castration gave us all the shits, is “taking a break” from hanging with the other man haters at The Talk.

This hiatus could be due to the recent protests at her disgusting behavior over the Catherine Kieu matter, or it could be because she is an unpleasant person who is hated by many she works with – and there have been reports of tensions with the other The Talk women in the past.

Osbourne claims she is taking a rest so she can spend more time with her likable but apparently brain-dead husband Ozzy, and that she will eventually return to The Talk. But that may be a face-saving way of admitting that once again she has been an asshole and more trouble than she’s worth, so nobody wants her around any more.

While I would like to think that someone at CBS has given her the heave-ho over her hate speech, I don’t think that’s likely. The men’s movement doesn’t have that kind of power yet, and hatred of males  is so entrenched in western society that I doubt any of the men in power cared enough to have her fired. More probable is that Osbourne is simply the kind of woman who sooner or later gets everyone’s back up simply by virtue of being her odious herself. Whatever the true motive one thing is certain – television is now just a little less evil than before.
