Sharon Osbourne has faced backlash after laughing about forcing her assistant into a burning building before firing him.
The Sun reports that the 67-year-old star made the shocking confession during an appearance on the Christmas special of Would I Lie To You?.
During the BBC comedy show, Osbourne recalled how she forced a former member of staff into their burning mansion to retrieve her expensive artwork.
The Christmas blaze had started due to some festive candles in the family living room, with husband Ozzy’s “arm and half his hair” on fire while the assistant slept in the guesthouse.
She told the other panellists: “I thought, right, where is that assistant? So I go into the guesthouse, and he’s like: ‘Is everything all right?’ and I’m like: ‘No, the house is on fire, get out and help, go in and get the paintings out’.
“And I said: ‘You must go in and find the dogs’.”
After he retrieved the dogs from the flames, Osbourne revealed that fire fighters gave the assistant an oxygen mask – only for her to take it from him, put it on her pooch, and send him back into the building.
She chortled: “They came and they had this oxygen for the assistant.
“So I said: ‘How very dare you. You work here. You get more paintings out’.”
Osbourne then admitted to giving the assistant the sack when he didn’t see the funny side of the entire incident.
She told host Rob Brydon: “Well, after this terrible night, he was not talking to me.
“Ozzy and I were recounting everything, we were laughing and laughing, and (the assistant) said: ‘I don’t see what’s funny about any of this’.
“He said: ‘I think I’m going to have damaged lungs’. I mean, please.
“So then I just said: ‘If you don’t think that’s funny, do you think this is funny? You’re fired.”
While some of the anecdotes told on Would I Lie To You? are completely made up, Osbourne shocked viewers when she revealed that the entire tale was true.
While the other stars laughed at the revelation, fans flocked to social media to criticise Osbourne’s behaviour.
One wrote: “@MrsSOsbourne you are a disgrace of a human being if that story you told about sending a member of staff into a burning building is true! You disgust me.”
Another added: “Well @MrsSOsbourne has just ousted herself as a horrible person on #WILTY.
In the spirit of Christmas, Sharon Osbourne has just outed herself as a truly terrible person in Would I Lie To You. Classic

I love #WILTY , but these stories are usually funny and self-deprecating. Watching Sharon Osborne reveal, with no self awareness at all, that she’s a heartless monster was a bit shocking. I hope she gets excoriated over this.https://t.co/viVeNy50nt

It's not just Sharon Osbourne. We knew about her already. It's:
- Every single audience member
- Every single panellist
- The BBC for broadcasting it - in a Christmas special, no less! - and thinking it's funny

@MrsSOsbourne You have no regard for human life other than yours and your families. This especially showed during your interview about the fire and your husbands ex assistant. You are DISGUSTING to think what you admitted to is okay, you have officially been CANCELLED, you hag.

So #sharonosbourne sends her assistant into a house fire to get her stupid paintings and dogs. Then robs the oxygen mask from him for the dog and sends him back in again...and then fires him cause he didn't find it funny. What kind of clown thinks a person's life is funny

How anyone could actually laugh at this is beyond me, that’s absolutely shocking behavior

The rich and the privileged in a nutshell.

Every single one of them are utter Scum for STILL laughing and clapping once Sharon revealed her story to be true. Vile.

@MrsSOsbourne you're inhumane. Time to unfollow you. Paintings can be replaced, lives don't. Shame on you.

“A PA saves your dogs from your burning house only to rip their oxygen mask and send them in to save your paintings.
“Then fire them for not finding the situation funny. I hope they sue for everything!”
A third said: “Normally quite like watching @WILTY_TV but the callous attitude of @MrsSOsbourne is just too much and the fact everyone else found it funny leaves me worried about the morality of the audience and other panel members.”
