Sharon Osbourne does not regret criticizing James Corden. Just one month after slamming the former Late Late Show host as a name-dropper on Celebrity Big Brother, Sharon doubled down on her “fair” remarks.

During a recent episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon reflected on her Celebrity Big Brother stint with her husband Ozzy Osbourne and children Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne.

In one episode of the ITV series, Sharon and her former X Factor co-host Louis Walsh waste no time ragging on Corden.

“When my friends talk about people they know or people they’ve met, we would always take the mick and say, ‘Well, if you drop the names, I’ll pick them up,’” Kate Middleton‘s uncle Gary Goldsmith says in the episode, to which Sharon quickly replies, “I’ll tell you who does that. James Corden. He does it all the time.”

The former The Talk co-host continues, “I go to him, ‘I really like your shoes,’ and he goes, ‘Yeah, Stella McCartney.’ I’m like, ‘I didn’t ask you who made them, I just said I like your shoes.’ When he got to America, he played the L.A. game really well.”

Walsh then notes that it’s about “kissing all the right people.”

While chatting with her family on their podcast, Sharon admitted that Walsh “got into so much shit” for his controversial opinions, before Jack swiftly fired back, “You weren’t a fucking saint — you went after everyone as well,” per The Independent.

Sharon replied, “All I said was Anna Wintour’s a c–t.” But her son reminded her that she also “went off” on Corden.

“That’s fair,” she said. “I mean, he’s fair game. That fake laugh.”

Meanwhile, Ozzy — who rose to fame as the Black Sabbath frontman — didn’t know who Corden was, prompting Jack to describe the comedian as “that British actor who became the talk show host in America.”

Sharon added, “His claim to fame is playing Paul Potts in a movie,” referring to Corden’s role in the 2013 film One Chance.

Decider has reached out to reps for Corden for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
