You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I have produced and my global celebrity.There are many countries that I could work in if I choose to, however, I don’t have the ambition or time to do so... the truth is, my money and success were not due to doing a couple of Simon Cowell talent shows.Sharon Osbourne shared a lengthy statement on Instagram (Image: Getty)"Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed doing them at the time as they were great fun."No disrespect to Simon Cowell, but he NEEDED ME for musical credibility on X Factor and I delivered for him and together all of us made a great team."The ITV star expressed: "It’s demeaning to me and my husband and all the achievements I have made in my life as you are making yourself look like an ill informed sycophantic."
