Sharon Osbourne isn't a fan of ‘woke people’ and is making her feelings very clear.

The TV personality was never one to mince her words and she’s now served up her raw and unfiltered thoughts on ‘woke people’ in an interview.

Osbourne, 70, spoke to The New York Post to promote her docuseries To Hell and Back on Fox nation where she aired her grievances.

“Woke people are like born-agains,” she moaned. “It’s like a religion. The woke people, they are entitled to opinions, God bless them, even though they bore me to death — but the rest of us are not. They have a new word every day, and a new campaign every day, and if anyone goes against it … what? We’re the devil? They certainly act like we are.”

This October interview was not the first time Osbourne went up against ‘woke people’. In 2021, she defended her friend Piers Morgan after he once again criticised Meghan Markle following her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

During the earth-shattering broadcast, the Duchess of Sussex shared that her husband Prince Harry had told her about alleged conversations the royal family had about the skin colour of their then-unborn son Archie.

Morgan, 57, had an infamous meltdown on Good Morning Britain after the interview aired the day before he stormed off the set following a debate with colleague Alex Beresford.

Talking on the breakfast TV show on 8 March, Morgan declared: “I’m angry to the point of bawling over today. I’m sickened by what I just had to watch.”

One person who supported the columnist throughout his meltdown and the criticism he received was Osbourne, who tweeted in support of her pal. “@piersmorgan I am with you. I stand by you. People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth,” she said, which was met with criticism.

Osbourne was confronted about her support for Morgan while sitting on the panel of The Talk shortly after. Co-panelist Sheryl Underwood asked if she felt her tweet gave the former Britain’s Got Talent host ‘validation or safe haven to something [Morgan] has uttered that is racist’.

“I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist … What’s it got to do with me? How can I be racist about anybody?” Osbourne replied.

“I don’t want anybody here to … think we’re attacking you for being racist,” Underwood clarified.

On 27 March it was confirmed that Osbourne left her position on The Talk following the on-air clash in which she defended Morgan.
