However, Osbourne was furious at not being able to participate in the first season of The Masked Singer in the US in 2019, and blamed Cowell for it.
Osbourne told The Talk: “I turned down the show 'The Masked Singer.' At the time, I had a contract to appear on another show. I had a contract to go to England, but then Simon changed my mind. I changed my mind and thought I was too old.” She later said they were not friends, just colleagues, and that she would never speak to him again. Osbourne told OK magazine, “No, he wasn't a friend. I'm grateful to him for giving me the opportunity. I did well by his side and he did well with me. But he's never been friends. Can I call him and talk? No.” , I never have. “
While in the Big Brother house, Osbourne admitted she was still “mad” at Cowell for missing out on The Masked Singer and criticized Cowell's dress sense. “Someone who's probably been wearing the same clothes for 30 years won't know it's wrong, no one will tell them, but they'll say it's all the same, same, same.”
dannii minogue
When Dannii Minogue worked with Osbourne as a judge on The X Factor, it was well known that they didn't get along. Cowell, Osbourne and Walsh were the only judges for the first three series, with Minogue joining in 2007.
Minogue admitted in a 2019 TV interview: “She didn't like me, she said that very clearly.” And in her autobiography, Minogue claims that she had to escort Osbourne out of her dressing room just 20 minutes before it went on air after the confrontation, adding: “Sharon said that I had told various magazines that I was her girlfriend.'' She seemed convinced that she was younger and more beautiful.
Osbourne has described working with Minogue as “excruciating”, “intolerable” and “an abominable chore”. And she said in her memoir, “On the outside, Danny was like, 'Oh, I love kids and puppies.' But in my opinion, she was a dark, very dark person. What you saw was definitely not what you got.''
Louis Walsh
Osbourne and Walsh were thick as thieves in the Celebrity Big Brother house. However, they had their own feud. Ms Walsh admitted that at first she “didn't like me at all” after Osbourne criticized her daughter Kelly Osbourne for not being able to sing.

So, on the final night of the tour in California, she lost power during his set and led a group in the crowd to throw eggs at him.
she said: “He's the worst… You get paid to do a show and if you don't like the person, don't do it. He never apologized, he never left his seat, Ozzy I said hello to him, he's just so jealous.”
