Sharon Osbourne Apologizes to Susan Boyle

susan boyle sharon osbourne

Sharon Osbourne has apologized for "getting a cheap laugh" at Susan Boyle's expense.

Last week, Osbourne, 57, slammed the "Britain's Got Talent" runner-up, 48, on a radio show for being hit by "the ugly stick."

Now, Osbourne writes on Twitter, "Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her. I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan, and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense."

Boyle performed on "America's Got Talent" -- the show in which Osbourne is a judge -- in September. Her debut album, "I Dreamed a Dream," drops on Nov. 23.

What are all you people in such an uproar about? If you remember when Susan first took the stage on Britians Got Talent watch the look on all the judges face and the audience as she answers the questions of whom she compares herself to. The one judge rolls his eyes and smirks at Simmon. Everyone of us that watched her for the first time thought the samething.Just like Paul Potts. We all thought they were either slow or had mental problems. If you say you didnt your a liar.Then they sang and suddenly took our breath away.After that, their looks meant nothing.But I bet you told everyone how great these 2 are and showed the video to anyone who would watch.So dont toss Sharron under the bus when we are all just as guilty.Only she said it on t.v. in front of the world what we all thought or said to ourselves or others. I’m sure she regrets saying it and she will probably tell her face to face someday soon IF she hasnt already.

Sharon Osbourne is no lady. Her screaching maniacal laughter as she was mocking Susan Boyle made me ill. What has Sharon done? I mean, besides marrying a drug induced has been rock star? Nothing, that’s what. She makes me sick to my stomach and I’m SO SO SO happy she was fired from Celebrity Apprentice. To think that adults act like this, mothers even. It’s no wonder her children have such low self esteem. I only wish, Sharon, that you get it back in spades, because you are a NOTHING to a lot of people.

I don’t understand why NBC didn’t immediately fire her after that comment. She shouldn’t be a judge on a talent show when contestants know she’ll be trash-talking them in public after the show. I am writing Jeff Zucker at NBC and trying to gain momentum to get Osbourne canned. It’s amazing that someone without any talent or natural beauty can deem herself an authority on talent and beauty.

Sharon Osbourne: I have lost ALL respect for you, slamming such talent as Susan Boyle. Remember, you had a ton of plastic surgery and fat reductions done to your body. Who are you to make such an ignorant, mean, and horrid statement to Susan? Karma, my dear — you’d better duck. Your fake apologies serve no purpose (twitter, no less). You’re showing yourself as a no-class Brit and you’ve lost one fan (probably more) until you regain consciousness…..you need to lose your narcissism. You’re definitely not all that and now even less.

Sharon, your disingenuous apologies to Susan Boyle are the perfect complement to the shallowness of what the media has exposed as your ‘true’ nature. You are the equivalent of a political figure conveniently admitting and apologizing for marital infidelity only after being blasted by the media.

Susan Boyle may not be the most beautiful presence to grace the stage, but she most certainly outshines you in charachter.

AMEN TO THAT ..
AND ALSO…

What I am trying to understand is if someone you know of has had a hard life growing up
with people making fun of them and putting them down, and their feelings being hurt all the time
crying alot over it, then as an adult why the h*ll would you do it to them all over again??????????

I have to say that people do not use their Brains…

what a horrible thing to say…and then to think it was funny…

YOU PPL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES..

I wonder how you would react if you had a child come home from school and tell you they were being made fun of and picked on…
hmmmmm
would you then think it was funny as your child goes into their room and cries everynight …

I swear people are getting more and more heartless everyday..

I thank God there are still people with a heart who will come to Susan’s defense….

this woman (Susan Boyle) did nothing wrong to anyone and surly said nothing wrong about them either..

why are people so rude and ignorant at the cost of someones feeling’s ….
just let her get on with her life and if you don’t like her then stay the he*l away….

Sharon Osbourne has no right to criticize anyone. Her children are trashy and her husband is no prize, so she really needs a reality check. Instead of apologizing on Twitter she needs to be a woman about hers and apologize to Susan Boyle face to face.

Too little, too late for Sharon Osbourne. A cheap laugh might have been the excuse, but it’s Sharon who looks cheap in spite of the expensive cosmetic surgery. Get off the AGT show, Sharon. Now everyone knows what you are really like, and you get buzzed by all of us.
NBC, if you don’t fire her, you are as bad as she is.

I LOVE THIS!!! Finally Sharon shows her true colors. Let’s see Sharon without her make up I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell Susan and Sharon apart. YES even after the plastic surgery. She has the nerves to say someone was hit by an “ugly stick”! Has she looked at her daughter - the one on Dancing with the Stars. Neither Sharon nor her kids are Stars so why is the girl from Mommy Dearest on Dancing with the Stars. Sharon is so aweful looking that her self conscience a&& has to take it out on someone who is a Star. Sharon is simply jealous. She should be IMMEDIATE TERMINATED from her duties as a judge on “Got Talent”. She’s not a judge of talent but a bad judge of character. Shame on the network they haven’t a;ready mad it official.

Susan Boyle was poked fun of right at the beginning, because of her looks. I remember the Gong Show, in which a cronish-looking woman in her mid-50’s came on and wasn’t given 10 seconds to do her thing before being “gonged.” Ha! Is Sharon Osborne blind?? Look at what she’s married to. I can’t look at him. Ay carumba, talk about ugly stick! Whoof.

Why is it that EXTRA and all the other websites that write about this matter put a picture of an all-made-up all-dolled-up Sharon Osbourne against the worst possible picture of Susan Boyle? Why don’t you put a good picture of BOTH of them if you were to be fair? Or JUST REVERSE WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW AND find an ugly picture of Sharon before she had plastic surgery and put it next to a good picture of Susan.

Sharon must have been on something when she said that about Susan or just totally insensitive. What a stupid thing to say and I agree with the others, she should not be a judge on any talent show if that is her true character. Sharon is the ugly character in my eyes.

Sharon, why don’t you take that big mouth of yours back onto the radio show and apologize properly, where everyone can hear it.
You would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan? Well guess what, you DID.
You and Holden are 2 of a kind. Shallow, plastic fakes.

An Apology?

Sharon Osbourne is not sorry for what she said. She is only sorry because that comment Could and Should be enough of a reason for NBC to fire her as a judge on America Has Talent. How can she ever be a Impartial Judge when she Openly Criticize and made fun of an Innocent Person born with a birth defect?

We know now that she will not Judge a Contestant based on their Talent, but if they are Attractive or not.

This is a Great Example of a person living in a Glass House. She has the nerve to make fun of another person looks when she was so Ugly she had to get Plastic Surgery done on herself. Then you look at her Husband who has to be one of the 10 Ugliest Men in America, and should be on the Poster for Birth Control. As for her children, all I will say is that the Apple Does not Fall Far From The Tree.

NBC Needs To Fire Her, and her Whole Drug Family should go back to Merry Ole England. Sharon Osbourne could not even make a pimple on Susan Boyles butt.

Sharon Osbourne needs a reality check. Susan Boyle is a hundred times more talented than Sharon. Actually, what is Sharon’s talent except to cater to her husband, that old rocker who blurs all his words together? Can anyone say “too many drugs”. I hope she’ll now think twice before being so hurtful.

Shame on you Sharon Osbourne! I thought I liked you but what you said was really mean spirited. Especially from someone who has battled a weight issue- you should know better. Who knows what you would look like if you had not been able to afford a gastric bypass, cosmetic surgery along with all the money spent on hair, make-up, facials, etc. One thing is clear- you may be more attractive than Susan Boyle on the outside but your not more attractive than her on the inside!

It never ceases to amaze me that people like Sharon Osborn and all the other people of her ilk (drug saturated aging hippies)have the gall to critisize someone as talented as Susan Boyle. If Sharon lives to be 150 she will never have a fraction of the talent that Susan has. By the way, just what is her talent, other than be the famous druggie wife of a has-been rock star whose brain is totally fried?

It is not like her daughter Kelly will ever win any type of beauty contest either

It is really sad when a mature(?) adult takes such a low road. To attack someone who has never done you harm, to feed your ego by getting a laugh, cheap or otherwise…no wonder our kids are in such trouble. Parents are the ones that first & foremost should be setting the example. Obviously, Sharon doesn’t believe in doing unto others as she would have done to her. Also so much for her qualifications for being a judge on America’s Got Talent. She has shown NO compassion for a fellow human.
