Two days after the broadcast, Osbourne apologized for her “panicked” remarks.
During Monday’s episode, Underwood opened up about how she chose to navigate that difficult moment.

I didn’t want to be that, and I wanted to remain calm and focused.”
Underwood also addressed Osbourne’s claims that Osbourne texted her after their argument.
A representative for Osbourne confirmed the contents of the texts to EW at the time.
A rep for Underwood didn’t respond to EW’s request for comment.
So I want to be clear with this, I have not spoken to Sharon."
“People have asked me, ‘Well, if you see Sharon, what would you do?'”
I want people to understand when you’re friends with somebody, you stay friends.
And what did Maya Angelou say?
When people show you who they are, believe them."
