Sharon Osbourne and her daughter, Kelly, recently appeared as guests on E! News, where Sharon opened up about her regret about the feud with Justin Bieber.
She mentioned it during their game of ‘Stir the Pot,’ when a question asking if there were anyone specific they would like to apologize to from their previous public feuds came up. After Kelly said she didn’t have, Sharon replied:
“Yeah, but I have apologized to him before, and it’s Justin Bieber because he did something, and when I was doing another talk show, I said, ‘He’s really bad, and how can his parents let him do that?’ and all of that. Who am I to say that he’s bad? He’s a kid, leave him alone. I felt really terrible after saying it, and I felt such guilt.”
Back in 2013, Osbourne referred to Bieber’s night out that made the news, where the singer peed in a janitor’s mop bucket and used bad language when talking about a picture of Bill Clinton, in an interview with the Daily Beast and said:
“I feel really bad for him. There’s this little kid with a huge dream; he’s cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he’s about as mean as a f*cking kitten, and he’s trying to act out.”
Then, she also noted Bieber’s colorblindness as his major issue and continued:
“I think that he’s lost, I really do. I think he doesn’t realize he’s white and not black; that’s a huge problem. And at the point he’s at in his career, it’s so dangerous because we’ve seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you’re a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it.”
Later on, in an episode of The Talk in 2014, Sharon publicly expressed her apology to Justin, acknowledging that Bieber was a young person who had made mistakes, just like everyone else. She made it clear that she didn’t intend to cause him harm or hurt his feelings.
