Amanda Holden Hits Back at Sharon Osbourne’s Response to Simon Cowell Comments
Amanda Holden has responded to Sharon Osbourne’s lengthy statement on Instagram following her earlier remarks defending Simon Cowell. The drama began when Amanda called Sharon and her X-Factor colleague Louis Walsh “bitter and pathetic” for their negative comments about Simon on Celebrity Big Brother.
In an interview with MailOnline, the 53-year-old expressed her disapproval, stating, “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.”
Sharon, 71, didn’t take Amanda’s comments lying down and responded to her 1.4 million followers on Instagram. She refuted Amanda’s claim that Simon gave her “all the chances, a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had.” Sharon defended herself by highlighting her extensive history in the music industry, her achievements, the artists she has worked with, the shows she has produced, and her global celebrity status. She also emphasized that her success was not solely due to her involvement in Simon Cowell talent shows.
Amanda has now broken her silence on the matter by posting a picture of herself on her Instagram stories. Despite Sharon’s cutting response, Amanda seemed unfazed as she shared a photo taken by a paparazzo who had tagged her. In the picture, Amanda can be seen smiling in a blue suit and black sunglasses.
Sharon had warned Amanda in her post to “never make comments about my lifestyle given to me by Simon Cowell.” Amanda, however, remains undeterred and expressed that such comments are demeaning to her, her husband, and the achievements she has made in her life. She accused Sharon of being ill-informed and sycophantic.
This ongoing feud between Amanda Holden and Sharon Osbourne continues to capture the attention of fans and followers. Stay tuned for any further updates.
