"I just can't be fake ... it's discrimination, and it was badly handled ... it's time to move on," the 59-year-old told the NY Post of her semi-surprising departure.
Sharon, who will break a contract to part ways, said that "all [NBC] can do is stop me from being a judge on another network for five years.
"They can't make me do something I don't want to do."
Jack was slated to appear on Stars Earn Stripes, a military-themed reality show featuring Dean Cain and Nick Lachey, according to Sharon, but producer David Hurwitz said the pact was never finalized.
"He was somebody we were in talks with," Hurwitz said.
NBC offered to pay Jack's salary for the show, but according to Shannon that didn't even matter.
"He didn't want the money," Osbourne told the Post. "He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed. Think of the good that it could have done to show other people who have this [condition] that your life is not over."
The network issued a statement that read, "Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well."
That sucks, I am a huge Sharon fan, if there is any truth to this and it was more than just a misunderstanding that is not cool NBC not cool!
