And even after nearly a week since Underwood questioned Osbourne for defending British commentator Piers Morgan, the two "The Talk" hosts have still not reconciled.
The insider revealed, "Sharon is pissed at Sheryl because she feels like she helped sow a seed that she's racist."
"And Sharon is unable to rationalize that that's not what happened."

But Osbourne reached out to her through text, according to Page Six's source. "She texted her a detailed, emotional, and heartfelt apology on Friday. It was very personal."
Unfortunately, Sheryl Underwood left her on "read" and didn't bother responding to her.

Sharon Osbourne later gave an interview to Variety magazine explaining the entire ordeal.
She talked about how CBS blindsided her with the segment.
According to Page Six's insider, Osbourne was the first to initiate they wanted to talk about Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle on "The Talk."

The insider also said, "She came to work after being [hated] on Twitter and asked to address what was going on online. she was not blindsided by CBS."
The entire episode that day was not supposed to go how it went down.
The source said that Osbourne was supposed to address it in a monologue for about 30 minutes before going live. However, the producers reportedly changed their minds and decided that the hosts should discuss it on air.
People on set knew that there would be a discussion since Osbourne was already "hyper-emotional" and that she was expecting cover from Underwood. However, she felt attacked and reportedly "blames Sheryl."
Sharon Osbourne also expected that the segment would have only two questions and not have an entire 20-minute show about it.
