Jack Osbourne claims he
was canned from a TV show because of his recent diagnosis with multiple
sclerosis — a surprise ouster that “offended” the former reality star.
“I had just booked a
job, right when I got diagnosed, and unfortunately the company that hired me
didn’t think I could actually perform the job,” he said Wednesday in an
interview on CBS’ “The Talk,” which is co-hosted by his manager mom, Sharon.
“Out of everything, that’s
what has really ticked me off the most because it’s like, ‘Don’t tell me what I
can and cannot do,’” the 26-year-old son of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne griped.
“At not one point did anyone ever call and ask me. It was all through agents
and lawyers.”
Sharon Osbourne also
tweeted Thursday that her son was “fired” because “they said he was a
liability.”
Neither Osbourne named the show, but Britain’s
The Sun newspaper reported Friday that he was supposed to be a contestant on
NBC’s reality game show, “Stars Earn Stripes.”
The show debuts in August and will feature a
celebrity cast including Todd Palin, Dean Cain and Nick Lachey. U.S. General
Wesley Clark is a co-host.
According to a news release about the show,
“eight competitors will gather at a remote training facility where they will
tackle complicated and difficult missions that are inspired by real military
exercises.”
