After Sharon Osbourne dismissed claims she made slurs towards her former "The Talk" co-hosts Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert, Roz Weston, Graeme O'Neil and guest co-host Breland discuss during ET Canada Live.
Sharon Osbourne is continuing to deny the mounting allegations of racism and bullying against her.
On Tuesday, journalist Yashar Ali published a report alleging that Osbourne, 68, referred to her former The Talk co-host Julie Chen as "wonton" and "slanty eyes," citing multiple unnamed sources, including another former The Talk co-host, Leah Remini.
Osbourne called the claims "crap, all crap," in an interview first given to Daily Mail Wednesday, (PEOPLE confirmed the veracity of the quotes, and Osbourne shared a similar statement), but repeated the racist language, adding "Everyone's got an opinion or a story like the wonton story. It's like f--- off with your f------ wonton story. F--- off!"
"Of course, it's a pile on. People want to add fuel to the fire and it comes with the territory and that's fine," she said.
Ali's Tuesday report further claimed that Osbourne referred to former co-host and executive producer Sara Gilbert, who is lesbian, as "p---- licker" and "fish eater."
Reps for both Chen and Gilbert did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment at the time.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE on Tuesday, Osbourne's publicist, Howard Bragman, denied the allegations against the British TV personality. That same day, CBS announced that The Talk will extend its production hiatus until next Tuesday as they "continue to review these issues."
"CBS is committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace across all of our productions," reps for the show said in a statement to PEOPLE. "We're also very mindful of the important concerns expressed and discussions taking place regarding events on The Talk. This includes a process where all voices are heard, claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary."
