Jack Osbourne Fires Back At NBC Over Stars Earn Stripes, Calls For Boycott

Truth rating: 10

Jack Osbourne is firing back at NBC, challenging the network for dropping him from an upcoming competition series.

As Gossip Cop reported on Monday, the reality star’s mom, Sharon, has declared that she intends to quit “America’s Got Talent” because NBC allegedly fired Jack from “Stars Earn Stripes” after he went public with his multiple sclerosis.

The show features celebrities competing in military-style challenges, and Sharon Osbourne contends that Jack was discriminated against based on his illness, with NBC breaking a verbal agreement.

NBC responded by denying that Osbourne had been offered a chance to participate in the competition or that he’d been the victim of health-based discrimination.

Osbourne says the network is full of it.

He retweeted a report about NBC’s response and declared, “Bull-f**king-s**t. #boycottNBC.”

Osbourne added, “I took part in a 16 hr challenge over 30 miles with a 40lbs ruck on my back in Jan. I had MS then. Don’t tell me wot physically demanding is.”

It looks like the Osbourne family’s fight with NBC is far from over.

    And if they would have asked him to be on the show and his symptoms were exacerbated, they’d be a POS network for it. It’s a no-win for NBC.

    First of all, who told this kid he was a star?

  • Kaitlyn

    More evidence that nbc sucks.. only proving what the Olympics showed
    I wasn’t gonna watch anyway, because its a dumb show, but this is another reason not 2 watch. What an embarassment

  • Cindy

    The Ousbornes have stayed way too long. They need to pack and go home. The kid has no talent but the mom wants him to get a job. So she threatens to quit hers. Let her go NBC, she is a hate monger. Getting sick of all these Brits coming in and getting jobs that American actors and entertainers should be getting. They fool American audiences with this “Brit accent” or their pretty faces, and the studios throw millions at them. What about throwing some of those millions to African American or Lationo actors and entertainers for a change. American actors can’t find any work in the UK no matter how good they are or try but we import all these Brits. They need to go. NBC don’t give in to this Ousbournes stuff. THey have to go.

    Wow, you have issues. Multiculturalism is the way of the world, deal with it. Also there are plenty of American actors that have worked in British movies, with British directors and British actors. America is the leading country when it comes to the entertainment industry. If you want to be a world known actor you pretty much have to break into the industry. You would think you would be proud of the fact that so many people want to be involved in something that is so iconic to your country. You talk of fairness of racism but yet here you are talking junk about people from another countries. Your a hypocrite and not a very well informed one at that. Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Shemar Moore, Kerry Washington, Forest Whitaka, Eva Longoria, Penélope Cruz, Demi Lovato, Jimmy Smits, John Leguizamo. These names are just of the top of my head and funny enough they are all either black or Latino and there are so many more that I could of said. The movie industry is probably the least racist industry there is. For film and television to be at all believable, all nationalities need to be represented. If anything the industry is more discriminative in regards to physical appearance. You don’t know what your talking about, all you are showing is your ignorance. Get over yourself

    i was already boycotting NBC for allowing chris brown to do a concert on the today show. No olympics for me, no nuttin’. then, of course, they fire classy ann curry on today instead of canning sucky matt lauer, and their ratings crash and burn even more. I’ve always believed that the whole leno/conan fiasco was engineered by nbc because they knew conan would crash and burn on the tonight show and they could get rid of him and get jimmy fallon, who has consistently beaten conan in the ratings game. NBC has been totally screwed up since GE bought them.

    I was in the Army for 6 years as a scout and there is no way that a fat so-called celebrity could take a 40 pound ruck even 10 miles at a real road march pace. I have to call bull fucking shit on you carrying a ruck 30 miles. Never happened, I would put $10,000.00 that he can’t even keep up with me and I got out in 2010 and have barely worked out since then. Ha ha, 30 miles. Very funny!!!!!

  • Steve

    First off dumb ass it’s Latino not Lationo. Second, you need more things to fill out your day if this gets you mad. What about sorry ass George Lopez getting to host “Take Me Out” or Steve Harvey hosting “Family Feud” and getting his own show in the fall? No, the time to take away from the white people that built this country is over. Do you not have spell check?
