Sharon Osbourne received ketamine injections to cope with Meghan Markle race row

Sharon Osbourne has said she received therapy which involved being injected with ketamine several times a week to help her cope in the aftermath of a royal racism row. The TV star lost her job after she defended her friend Piers Morgan during the row.

The wife of Ozzy Osbourne was a regular cast member on the US show The Talk from 2010 until she was forced to quit in 2021. The 69-year-old then spent eight months being injected with the mind-altering treatment to deal with the trauma.

During the row she backed Piers Morgan after he relentlessly slammed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Mirror reports. The former XFactor judge stood by Piers refusing to apologise and was then quizzed on The Talk by her co-hosts as to why she was backing the former Good Morning Britain host's point of view.
