TV personality Sharon Osbourne has slammed ABC's "The View", claiming that the show 'lost its way' without Barbara Walters.
Sharon, 62, criticised the show's perceived move to more trivial content following Walters' departure, reported The Wrap.
Osbourne said: "When Barbara left, the show seemed to take a different turn. The show was always a place for women to go where you could see what was going on politically around the world."
"They dealt with very serious issues, human interest stories, and suddenly they weren't doing that. They were doing things like cooking. They were doing giveaways," she added.
Walters retired from hosting The View in May last year.
Osbourne hosts rival show "The Talk" on CBS.
