The Talk host Carrie Ann Inaba’s hiatus due to show’s ‘stressful & toxic’ environment that triggers autoimmune flare-ups
THE Talk host Carrie Ann Inaba’s leave of absence is due to the show’s “toxic” work environment, a source exclusively told The Sun.
After weeks of chaos surrounding co-star Sharon Osbourne’s dramatic exit, the “stress” has allegedly gotten so bad, it’s “triggered auto immune flare-ups” for Carrie Ann.

A source close with the daytime show’s production told The Sun: “The LOA is something she has been thinking about.
“Originally she was only going to be out another week, but the thought of returning to the show now set back her health.
“Stress is what sets off her conditions and the set of The Talk is immensely toxic to Carrie Ann these days.”
The Dancing With The Stars judge has been open about her battle with several autoimmune disorders, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and, most recently, vasculitis.
The show insider continued saying Carrie Ann is “confused” by the direction of the show following the recent cast shakeup.

“One day the discussion is the Chauvin trial with serious racial overtones and the next day the discussion is Lizzo’s body positivity.
“It’s confusing to Carrie Ann. She is a choreographer and producer who needs clear direction and leadership to thrive and unfortunately without Sharon there things have fallen apart,” the informant explained.
The source said that high tension has been caused on set due to Carrie Ann’s “unfriendly” relationship with co-host Sheryl Underwood.
“Carrie Ann has been brought to tears multiple times when dealing with Sheryl.
“The two are definitely not friends off camera and ever since Sheryl worked behind the scenes to get rid of Carrie Ann as the moderator, Carrie Ann’s soul has been crushed,” they added.

The program has been in crisis mode since Sharon Osbourne left following her blowout fight with co-host Sheryl – which led the British personality to be accused of being “racist.”
“Carrie Ann continues to engage with Mrs. O on social media as does Amanda, and they both speak and text with her personally.
“With ratings dropping and viewer outrage it is a good time for Carrie Ann to distance herself from the debacle at the show,” the informant revealed.
A rep for Carrie Ann did not immediately respond to The Sun’s request for comment.
On the March 10 episode, Sharon addressed her decision to stand by her longtime friend Piers Morgan‘s criticism of Meghan Markle, resulting in the harsh exchange of words.
The show took a month-long hiatus to conduct an internal review.

Sharon’s exit left Carrie Ann feeling “stressed,” as The Sun also previously reported that the dancer does not see eye-to-eye with Sheryl.
Earlier today, the TV personality told fans she would be taking a “leave of absence” from the CBS show to “focus on her well-being.”
She took to Instagram for the head-turning news, saying: “Hi Everyone, I have decided to take a leave of absence from @thetalkcbs to focus on my well being. We all know health is the most precious gift we have…
