When Marie Osmond walked out the door at "The Talk" after just one year on the job, she didn't necessarily leave to "pursue other projects," as it was claimed. According to a new report, she was forced out by two of her fellow panelists.

Page Six claimed that Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood threatened to quit unless Marie was let go.
When the showbiz veteran announced on Instagram that she was leaving the show, she said she would be developing "several projects." Her exit message made it appear as though it was her choice to leave. That may not have been the case.
"Marie did not leave of her own accord, although she was encouraged to spin her departure that way," a CBS insider told Page Six. "Sharon and Sheryl threatened to quit unless Marie was canned. They pushed her to quit but when she didn't, they made an ultimatum to the network."
Fellow panelist Carrie Ann Inaba "pleaded with execs for Marie to stay but she wasn't successful changing their minds," the source said.

Marie's departure didn't set well with many fans.
"Now the show is facing extreme backlash on social media," the source said. "There are thousands of negative comments flooding their accounts."
However, another insider claimed no ultimatum was issued.
When asked about Marie's departure, Sharon recently told Entertainment Tonight, "We've had changes. People coming in and going. So we just go with the flow. I have to say that with four [hosts], we've got more time to talk."
