14 DAY TRIAL // Sharon Osbourne, wife or rocker Ozzy, was never the one to know her way around words, in the sense she cuts all corners and drives straight to the point with very little regard to diplomacy or, some would say, common sense. Speaking in a recent interview cited by Contact Music about her gig on X Factor and her feud with fellow judge Dannii Minogue, Mrs. Osbourne is sharp as a razor in her comments.
As fans of the popular televised singing competition must know, Sharon stepped down from her position as judge on X Factor in 2008, amidst speculation that she thought producers were not paying her enough. At the same time, voices were saying she had chosen to quit herself because she could not longer stand the pressure and tension at the judges’ table, a version that no longer seems that far-fetched now that Sharon is proving she still holds a grudge against Dannii.
“I actually walked from X Factor because I couldn’t stand the bull[expletive] any more. I was getting well paid – very well paid – so it was hard to leave, but I did because they didn’t like me speaking the truth. They’d rather have some doll like Dannii Minogue as judge, endorsing this bull[expletive]. Dannii – I couldn’t stand her. She wasn’t so much a dim bulb as a bulb in a power cut. [Expletive]-ing useless,” Sharon Osbourne is quoted as saying.
Of course, this is not the first time that Sharon takes the stand and publicly speaks against some other celebrity she’s had the pleasure of knowing. A while back, we were also telling you that the reality star went live on a radio station to blast Susan Boyle, for whom she had nothing but nice words when she first met her after a performance on America’s Got Talent, where Sharon also acted as judge. What’s even worse, Mrs. Osbourne did not criticize Susan for her failures as an artist (not that she had any), but picked on her for how she looked, which was extremely hypocritical since Sharon herself is known to have spend thousands of pounds on plastic surgery to look the way she does now.
“I like everybody to do well. Even somebody that looks like a slapped [backside]... God bless her. It’s like, ‘You go girl.’ She does look like a hairy [expletive]hole. She is a lovely lady. You just want to say ‘God bless’ and here’s a Gillette razor. [God] gave her the talent. But he hit her with a [expletive]-ing ugly stick,” Mrs. Osbourne said on a radio show in November last year, barely able to speak properly from that much laughter.
