Sharon Osbourne and two of her children, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, tore into controversial Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters in a recent episode of The Osbournes Podcast, where the three honored and discussed their love for Ozzy Osbourne.
In an expletive-laced tirade, the Osbournes slammed Waters as “probably one of the most twisted, sick individuals,” with a “superiority complex.” They also said he was a “miserable, ugly human being.”
“The guy is sick in the head. He is not relevant in today's world. Nobody likes him. This is not just us; nobody likes this man,” Sharon Osbourne said, later adding that Waters is a “bad seed” struggling to remain relevant.
“So he's got a f**king tea towel on his head and a Palestinian flag, and he thinks that makes him relevant.”
The podcast episode follows an August interview Waters gave to The Independent Ink, shortly after Osbourne's death. During the interview, Waters said that the former lead vocalist of Black Sabbath “ was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense” and that he “couldn't give a f**k” about Black Sabbath.
Waters, who has maintained a fiercely anti-Israel stance, has also made numerous comments and stunts that have been condemned as antisemitic.
'My father always thought you were a c**t,' Jack Osbourne posts to Waters
Initially, after Waters’s comments about Osbourne, Jack Osbourne posted on his Instagram that “My father always thought you were a c**t,” and that Waters’s remarks “proved him right.”
On the podcast episode, Sharon Osbourne said that she believed Waters made his statements “because he knows I'm half Jewish.” Although Kelly and Jack expressed skepticism, Sharon asserted that that was the reason.
Days before the start of the Israel-Hamas War in October 2023, Sharon Osbourne had said that Waters was antisemitic.
“I’m Jewish…I know him… I know his reputation that precedes him in our industry…He laughs, he’s always telling jokes about Jews, always making comments about money, the cliché, you know, old-time opinion,” Osbourne had said at the time.
