Kelly Osbourne\u2019s bond with Simon Cowell remains intact despite his strained history with her mother, Sharon Osbourne, balancing friendship and family loyalty.<\/p>\n
In a candid Us Weekly<\/em> interview, Kelly Osbourne, 40, opens up about her friendship with Simon Cowell, even with his complicated history with her mom, Sharon Osbourne. The two families have shared both professional and personal ties, with Cowell and Sharon\u2019s history spanning multiple seasons of The X Factor<\/em> and America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>. Kelly appreciates Simon\u2019s personality and perspective despite lingering tensions between Sharon and Cowell. \u201cI\u2019d never want to disrespect Simon. I like Simon,\u201d Kelly explains, underscoring her decision to stay out of her mother\u2019s past disagreements with him.<\/p>\n Kelly acknowledges the conflicts that arose from Sharon\u2019s professional relationship with Cowell, who allegedly fired Sharon due to age-related concerns. Sharon has spoken openly about feeling dismissed by Cowell after being let go from The X Factor<\/em> and turned down an opportunity with The Masked Singer<\/em> due to her commitment to the show. Kelly, aware of this past friction, admits Simon \u201cdid [her] mom dirty a couple times,\u201d though she prefers not to interfere unless absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n Kelly emphasizes, \u201cThey had their issues,\u201d and feels her role is to remain neutral to maintain her own healthy relationship with Cowell.<\/p>\n Though Kelly values her friendship with Cowell, she\u2019s clear about her loyalty to her family. Her relationship with her mother, Sharon, has grown stronger over the years, especially since Kelly became a mother herself. Describing her mom as her \u201cNo. 1 role model,\u201d Kelly reflects on the challenges her parents faced during her struggles with addiction and how having a son has given her a deeper appreciation for their support.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kelly Osbourne values her friendship with Simon Cowell, despite his rocky past with her mother, Sharon Osbourne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":367,"featured_media":58295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[2206,941,4300,20983],"class_list":["post-58289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-kelly-osbourne","tag-sharon-osbourne","tag-simon-cowell","tag-the-x-factor"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/367"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Conflicting family loyalty<\/h2>\n
