Age discrimination isn't talked about enough
It was announced that Sharon would be The X Factor’s first-ever fifth judge and appear for just the live show rounds, but she decided against it and confirmed that would no longer be the case in September last year.
Now, speaking about her exit, 66-year-old Sharon is calling out Simon for allegedly sacking her because of her age.on Thursday: ‘I turned down to be a judge on the Masked Singer.‘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.’
Not stopping there, Sharon continued: ‘Simon goes, “She’s old. We need somebody young,” so if you want young, fire yourself and get rid of those man t…’ Thinking better of insulting Simon live on TV, she then addressed him directly and said: ‘Call me tomorrow, we’ll discuss it.’Sharon definitely isn’t shy when it comes to sharing her thoughts on The X Factor and recently said she thinksbecause he’s changed the format ‘again and again and again’.Her pal isn’t too fazed, though, as
when she first joined the show way back when in 2004 and still is. He actually finds her pretty funny.And he hasn’t been put off by Shazza’s comments, as Simon has teased a ‘major shake-up’ for The X Factor this year which will see the talent show get two series, but not as we know them.
