Holly Robinson Peete Calls Out Sharon Osbourne For Allegedly Calling Her ‘Ghetto’ And Getting Her Fired From ‘The Talk’
Peete initially responded to the original tweet noting that it was not okay for someone to defend racists.
The question is if someone defends, excuses or protects racist behavior is that ever OK?… I don’t think so. pic.twitter.com/43LPROflR1

Peete was fired from the show in 2011 and later spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what happened.
“Usually when you get fired, your boss brings you in, sits you down and tells you why they can’t keep you. They say we have to downsize or you’re not doing this, you’re not doing that. I was never given that opportunity,” she said.
“Still to this day, I don’t know. I speculate in my mind, but in trying to move forward all I can say is, ‘Hey, is it because of my performance?’ I don’t think so,” she added.
But one year later, actress Leah Remini wrote in a now-deleted tweet that she and Peete were fired because Osbourne said they were “ghetto.”
“Sharon thought me and Holly were ‘Ghetto’, (her words) we were not funny, awkward and didn’t know ourselves,” Remini wrote on Twitter at the time, according to Variety.
“Sharon said she asked [for] us to be fired,” Remini wrote in response to another tweet.
