Sharon Osbourne claims Simon Cowell hates "overweight" people

Sharon Osbourne rants about Simon Cowell, claiming that the music mogul "doesn't like people who are overweight".

Sharon Osbourne has taken a number of swipes at old boss Simon Cowell, alleging that he has "very dated" views.

The pair have worked together on and off for the last two decades, with Osbourne variously appearing as a judge on his The X Factor and Got Talent shows on both sides of the pond.

"Simon doesn't have an ability to see individuals. He doesn't like people who are overweight. Seriously," Osbourne said on her Honest AF show.

"That's why he turned down Jennifer Hudson, that's why he wouldn't champion her on American Idol. But it's the truth. He's very dated."

Osbourne last appeared on The X Factor in 2017 and has previously claimed that Cowell has since refused to hire her because at the age of 67, she is considered too old.
