Jack Osbourne trolled for crying over Ozzy’s death on the show

Before entering camp, he said, “I think things will happen naturally and I won’t necessarily stray from too many things. But you know, there are obviously certain things that I probably wouldn’t discuss on a national television show that’s filmed 24/7.”

Fans, who remembered his vow, were then stunned when he became emotional on air while speaking to fellow contestant, British actress Lisa Riley, about the legendary rocker’s final days.

During the episode, Osbourne broke down as he remembered the shock of his father’s sudden decline.

“It was definitely a shock,” he said.

“I mean, we knew he was sick for a while, but it was definitely a shock, I mean, we didn’t know it would be so soon… it was the ultimate mic drop, he did a really big performance and said, ‘Okay, I’m done.'”

When Riley asked what Ozzy would think about him joining the ITV show, Osbourne tearfully replied: “He would be so behind this.”

Speaking to the Bush Telegraph, Jack told viewers his grief was “weird”, adding: “I’m still dealing with it, it’s been three, almost four months, and it’s still quite fresh.”

But the emotional scenes sparked an immediate reaction online.

One critic said: ‘Jack said he didn’t want to talk about it, and now he’s sobbing in front of the cameras. It feels like he’s making money off Ozzy’s death.”

Another wrote: “This is the kind of stunt you’d expect from a cheap reality star, not from someone who claimed he wanted privacy to grieve.”

A third added: “His sadness is real but using it for screen time is wrong. He promised not to do this.”

A show insider said trolls were ‘ruthless’, adding: ‘They’re accusing him of doing exactly what he publicly said he wouldn’t do: turning his father’s death into a storyline. It was ugly.’

Another source close to the production said: “People online are calling him a hypocrite. They say his breakdown seemed timely for maximum attention.”

Father-of-four Osbourne had previously spoken about preparing for the jungle in the wake of his father’s death, saying it would be difficult to leave them behind in America.
