Sharon Osbourne hasn't changed her mind and maintains she's done with "America's Got Talent" and NBC.
"I've left. I'm gone. I won't go back," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "Greatest show, I love the show, but I really don't like NBC, and that's why I wouldn't go back. I don't like them; they treat their talent like shit! Not that I'm a talent, but I'm an employee, and they treat you like shit."
Osbourne, who has been with the series since 2007, first declared she was leaving "America's Got Talent" after claiming NBC cut her son, Jack, from reality show "Stars Earn Stripes" due to his multiple sclerosis.
“I just can’t be fake,” she told the New York Post. “It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled."
NBC's Bob Greenblatt, whom Osbourne says refuses to meet with her, put out a statement after Osbourne claimed the network discriminated against Jack by cutting him from the show after his diagnosis.
“We hold medical information in strict confidence and therefore cannot comment specifically about Jack, but as a company that cares deeply about the health and safety of everyone on our shows -- espe-cially one like 'Stars Earn Stripes' that requires dangerous water stunts, strenuous physical activity, and uses live ammunition – we required all potential participants to undergo medical vetting to ensure that they could safely participate," Greenblatt said in the statement. "Although we did not ask Jack to participate in the competition, we were able to offer him two substantial alternative roles on the show, both of which he declined. This network does not discriminate on any basis.”
However, Osbourne has a contract with "America's Got Talent," but she told THR that wouldn't be a problem.
"They don't want me, and I don't want them," she said. "I never want to hear from them again."
