Friday 7 October 2022 04:31 PM Sharon Osbourne defends Kanye West over 'white lives matter' and wants her ... trends now
Just a few weeks after assuring fans she's 'not racist' during an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Sharon Osbourne is being accused of just that.
The British television personality is catching flack for seemingly defending Kanye West's 'white lives matter' drama by telling TMZ on Wednesday: 'I don't understand why white lives don't matter?'
Sharon, 69, also appeared to back Ye's assertion that the Black Lives Matter movement was a 'scam'. Her comments come as the star is emerging from her own public cancellation over a racism scandal on The Talk.
Speaking out: Sharon Osbourne is catching flack for seemingly defending Kanye West's 'white lives matter' drama by telling TMZ on Wednesday: 'I don't understand why white lives don't matter?'

Sharon - who is staunchly anti cancellation - unsurprisingly added that she does not think Kanye should be canceled over his statements.
Osbourne herself is in the midst of moving past her own cancellation over accusations of racism.

'I learned a lot through [getting canceled] but you are who you are. I am not a racist … never said one racist thing,' Sharon exclusively told DailyMail.com in September. 'People are woke, it's a whole different world out there. People conduct themselves differently now.'
As a refresher, Sharon's fall from grace was precipitated by a heated discussion with The Talk co-host Sheryl Underwood over comments Piers Morgan had made about
