Sharon Osbourne went IN on Simon Cowell on a recent episode of The Talk, explaining that she previously turned down the role on the Masked Singer because she’d been contracted to do another show with Simon Cowell — before he fired her.

“I’ve turned down to do the judge on the Masked Singer,” she explained. “I was signed on to do another show at the time. I was signed to go to England, and then Simon Cowell changed his mind and thought I was too old.”

“Simon goes, ‘She’s old. We need somebody young,'” she added.

Though she didn’t explain how she heard that Simon allegedly said this, we’re still a little curious. Maybe she’ll give us more this week on The Talk!
