Let’s get real for a second. On the October 2 episode of The Talk, Marie Osmond sat down and spilled some tea about her past experiences working with Raquel Welch. Now, this isn’t just a random throwback moment—it’s a deep dive into how people change, how perspectives evolve, and how even the toughest moments can teach us something valuable.
Marie’s Honest Take: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Marie Osmond, the legendary singer and entertainer, is no stranger to the spotlight. But when she talks about her time working with Raquel Welch, she doesn’t sugarcoat it. "I have to say, I never trash people. I’ve worked with so many incredible individuals over the years," she began. Then, she paused and added, "But there’s one experience that still stands out. I worked with Raquel Welch, and I was so excited to meet her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t kind—not just to me, but to everyone around her." At 59 years old, Marie recalls this vividly, labeling Raquel, now 79, as "mean." It’s not something she says lightly, but it’s the truth as she saw it back then.
From Young Girl to Grown-Up Woman: A Shift in Perspective
Now, here’s the twist. Marie isn’t stuck in the past. As a mom of eight and a seasoned professional, she’s had time to reflect. Back when she was younger, Raquel’s behavior stung. But now, as a "grown-up woman," she looks at it differently. "You know, I’ve thought about it a lot," she admitted. "Maybe Raquel was having a really bad day. Or maybe, just maybe, she was dealing with something we couldn’t see." Marie points out that Raquel’s career was built on her looks, and as time went on, that pressure must’ve been immense. "The ’70s were brutal, folks. It wasn’t a healthy era for women," she explained. It’s a reminder that we all carry our own battles, and sometimes those battles come out in ways we don’t expect.

A Closer Look at the Challenges of the ’70s
Marie didn’t stop there. She went on to describe the harsh realities of the entertainment industry in the ’70s. "People were so cruel to Raquel. The fittings were brutal. It wasn’t just about the clothes—it was about her as a person," she revealed. Imagine being judged not just for your talent but for every inch of your appearance. It’s a lot to handle. Marie shared a story about working on a white set with a full orchestra, only to walk out and say, "I want it black." While we’re not exactly sure which project they worked on together, it’s likely tied to Raquel’s appearance on the December 8, 1978 episode of Donny & Marie.
At the end of the day, Marie wants us all to remember one thing: "Everybody has bad days." It’s a simple truth, but one that can help us be a little more understanding when someone isn’t at their best.
Other Voices Weigh In
Guest host Brigitte Nielsen chimed in with her own story from the ’80s, when she was married to Sylvester Stallone. She recalled meeting Raquel at the White House and noticing how "over it" the star seemed. "She took off her gorgeous golden sandals and just threw them," Brigitte laughed. Cohost Sharon Osbourne added her two cents, reminding everyone that "you can’t be nice 24 hours a day." It’s a reminder that even the most successful people have moments when they just need a break.
