Sharon Osbourne reiterates hurtful comments about Susan Boyle

Sharon Osbourne may have claimed Susan Boyle is “laughing all the way to the bank”, but it hasn’t stopped her reiterating hurtful comments about the Scottish star.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Sharon insinuated that Susan would not have been greatly affected by the comments she had made last year about her.

Thousands of Su-Bo fans were outraged when Mrs Osbourne went on a US Radio show and said Susan "looks like a slapped a**e" and had been hit by "a f**king ugly stick".

Although she later apologised for the outburst, it seems Sharon hasn’t changed her opinion.

She told the paper: "I didn't want to hurt her at all. Yes, I do think she looks like a slapped a**e, and she has been hit with the ugly stick, but she's laughing all the way to the bloody bank, so she's got the last laugh on me.

"I do regret saying that because she is not the sort of woman to counter me, so it's not fair, but somebody asked me in public and I went for it - foot in mouth."

Susan Boyle is not the only one to come under fire from Sharon’s potty mouth antics.

She has made no secret of her dislike for her former X Factor colleague Dannii Minogue and recently told The Guardian: "Dannii - I couldn't stand her. She wasn't so much a dim bulb as a bulb in a power cut. F**king useless."

Justifying her outspoken ways, Sharon told the Daily Telegraph: "If you give it out you have to expect to get it back. I do think that people should say what they feel more, because otherwise it festers and you get an infection."

    I don't understand her attitude. So, it's okay to say something hurtful if it's honest?

    Don't we teach kids not to point and stare or say unkind things about those who are different? Don't we teach that hurting someone's feelings isn't right?

    There's no reason for Sharon to say those things. There's no purpose served but to hurt. She should be ashamed, but I don't think she has enough understanding to know she should be.

    How would she like someone saying those things about her daughter?

    I mentioned this the 1st time Osbourne ranted - EVERYONE should email or write to America's Got Talent producers and Simon Cowell: Fire Sharon! She is cruel, crude, not objective and not fair. Are those the qualifications to be a AGT judge? Fire her!

    Why doesn't she just shut her fat gub? Those comments she made about Susan were WELL out of order. And I agree with SHIRLEYO - Simon Cowell should sack this cow. After all, she also took a swing at X-factor (and BGT) - this after making megabucks out of "talent shows". So what makes American Idol any different? But, what goes around, comes around. And some day, Mrs O will open her trap too far about the wrong person and she'll get all her venom and bile back in SPADES!And it can't come quick enough!!!!
