Sharon Osbourne doesn’t blame former cohost Julie Chen(-Moonves) for leaving The Talk after her husband Les Moonves was ousted from CBS over a sexual misconduct scandal earlier this year.
She does, however, wonder how Chen could be attracted to a man with such gnarly dragon breath.

The TV personality shared her unfiltered thoughts on the former CBS CEO for the first time since his firing this summer, and they are quite hilarious.
Admitting that while she “loved working with Julie” on the daytime talk show, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife made it clear she “had nothing to do with” Moonves, revealing on SiriusXM‘s Jim and Sam Show:
“I don’t f**king know him… We never had shits and giggles. I think I was too loud for him. I think he likes women that are much more low-key than me. I had nothing to do with him. I was on the show, I loved working with Julie, she was great, so professional to work with.”
When asked if she ever had any “physical attraction” to the network exec, who was accused by a dozen women of sexual misconduct, the 66-year-old exclaimed “F**k no,” adding:
“I think he had bad breath, if I remember. Oh, yeah. You could smell him coming. I think he had a bit of gingivitis, if I remember. I’m like, ‘Did you suck fish for breakfast?’ It’s like what the f**k did you clean your teeth with this morning? Sh*t?”
Ha! And ew!
But she didn’t stop there, quipping:
“It was all that masturbating. He must have c*m in his mouth or something, I don’t know.”
As hard as she was on Moonves, Osbourne had nothing but wonderful things to say about The Chenbot.
After Moonves was removed from his position in August, the Big Brother host briefly addressed the scandal on The Talk before releasing a short statement pledging her allegiance to her husband. Days later, she announced she was leaving The Talk after nine years.

Osbourne hasn’t “spoken to Julie in forever,” but she respects her former cohost’s decision to bow out of the program, explaining:
“I love Julie. Julie’s the best, you know, and her marriage is her marriage. And she’s standing by him, and I do respect her for it… We didn’t speak during the break or she didn’t call and say, ‘I’m having to go.’ That tape was delivered, and that was it.”
If Chen had stayed in the conversation, Osbourne added, it would have been incredibly “embarrassing” for her to attempt to defend her husband to the rest of the panel:
“We were going back and forth and thinking, ‘She’s sticking by her husband and the things that we discuss on the show, it would be so awkward for her. I don’t know how she could come into a conversation and give an opinion… If she thinks her husband wasn’t guilty, but this one’s guilty.’ Do you know what I’m saying?”
She continued:
“It would have been terribly embarrassing for her, just really, really tough on her. I mean, when they were doing the investigation, I think that every female employee through CBS got a letter from the people that are doing the investigation for the company to say, ‘Have you ever had any inappropriate meetings with him? Has he ever been inappropriate with you?’ When your husband has been the boss and he’s run everything, and when you come in, everybody is doing an invisible curtsy … and then you come in and if you want a cappuccino, ‘Oh actually, you have to pay for that now.’ You can’t go back to being an employee, because it wasn’t like she was an employee.”
And she never will be. Though she left The Talk, Chen will remain the host of CBS’s Big Brother, a role she’s had for 18 years, as she supports her now-unemployed husband.
It’s a dedicated marriage Osbourne respects, even if she doesn’t quite understand it. She offered:
“Hey, listen, she must love that little guy.”
