SHARON OSBOURNE Accuses NBC Of Discrimination After Network Denies Her Son A Job
August 7, 2012, 12 years ago
According to Business Insider, Sharon Osbourne, wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and America's Got Talent judge has left the hit NBC talent show following a heated dispute with the network.
Osbourne's son Jack was slated to compete on Stars Earn Stripes - an upcoming NBC show where eight celebrities are "pushed to their limits as they take on the challenges of real American heroes" - before he was unceremoniously dropped by the network.
"Regretfully, we cannot move forward with Jack’s participation," the network explained in an e-mail to his mother.
This decision follows Jack's public reveal in May that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Despite offering to provide his own insurance for the show, the network decided that having him on board would be too much of a liability, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
News of Jack's dismissal was revealed when he made an appearance on CBS's The Talk, where Sharon Osbourne is currently a host, along with Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood, and Aisha Tyler.
