Kelly Osbourne has claimed that Simon Cowell pulled an appearance from The Osbournes on American Idol minutes before they were due on air. The reality TV star, 39, said the X Factor supremo, 64, had a ‘s**t fit’ and declared he ‘no longer wanted’ her family mother Sharon Osbourne , father Ozzy Osbourne, and brother Jack Osbourne on the programme. In response to Simon’s outburst, Kelly said the American Idol crew extracted the foursome from the set in the advert break at the eleventh hour in an incident she described as ‘really awkward.
’ Regaling the tale on The Osbournes Podcast , Kelly addressed her family and said: ‘Do you remember when we were meant to go on American Idol and Simon Cowell threw a s**t fit and we all were there waiting to be on camera and they pulled us off the set? She continued: ‘Simon was like, “I don’t want them on the show” and had us taken off during the commercial break.’ Appearing to remember Simon’s flare-up, Jack, 38, asked his mother Sharon if the music mogul had ever relayed the incident to her but she replied ‘no’. Sharon, 71,added it was likely he ‘doesn’t even remember’ it.
Agreeing Kelly remarked: ‘Probably not. But that was really awkward.’ Kelly did not specify when Simon’s ‘s**t fit’ supposedly happened.
It comes after Sharon made cutting swipes about Simon while she was in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year. Music manager Sharon worked for Simon during stints on both The X Fa.
