Kelly Osbourne has seemingly taken a swipe at Amanda Holden following the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge’s war of words with her mother, Sharon Osbourne.
Kelly Osbourne has stepped into mother Sharon's row with Amanda Holden
The former ‘X Factor’ judge hit out at the ex-‘Cutting It’ actress after she branded Sharon and her friend Louis Walsh “bitter and pathetic” over their remarks about Simon Cowell on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and now the 39-year-old star has shared a cryptic post about “delusional” people.
Kelly shared a clip by author Daniel Chidac on her Instagram Story in which he said: “Some people are really so delusional that they think it's disrespectful when you don't just sit back and allow them to disrespect you anymore.”
Amanda, 53, had blasted Sharon and Louis for “dissing” Simon after he gave them so many career opportunities.
She told the Daily Mail newspaper’s Weekend magazine: "I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon - he's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had.
"It's bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background - just stabby, stabby, stabby."
However, Sharon, 71, was furious over Amanda’s “factually incorrect” remarks, insisting she had been hugely successful before working on ‘The X Factor’.
In a lengthy statement shared to X, Sharon wrote in part: "The truth is, you don’t know me, Amanda. You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I’ve produced, and my global celebrity.
“Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide. There are many countries that I could work in if I choose to however, I don’t have the ambition or time to do so, and unlike you, I don’t work in radio or pantomime. Our worlds are totally different…
“I never discuss money, lifestyle, or positions of power. I find it to be classless and crude.
“However, you’ve now forced my hand to divulge these things to you and I honestly don’t want to seem like I’m bragging, but the truth is my money and success were not due to doing a couple of Simon Cowell talent shows. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed doing them at the time as they were great fun. Yes, Simon paid me very well. Probably more than what you’re receiving today, but all of that my darling went on a few handbags.
"At the time that I worked on X Factor, I was the only judge who had global accomplishments with multiple million-selling artists, Grammy Award winners and arena and stadium headliners. I was also a very successful festival producer with Ozzfest which ran for 24 years, as well as a best-selling author and producer of the hit MTV show 'The Osbournes' for which I received an Emmy Award.
“Amanda, I think you’re missing the point here. No disrespect to Simon Cowell but he NEEDED ME for musical credibility on X Factor and I delivered for him and together all of us made a great team…
"On closing, I hope I’ve given you a proper education about me so that the next time you choose to mention me, you’ll have some facts in your pocket. The bottom line, Amanda, is, that you’ll never be in my league, and you’ve picked on the wrong ugly stepsister.Sharon Osbourne."
