A storm of outrage has engulfed Sharon Osbourne after she was abruptly dropped from a major charity role following her public support for a controversial political rally.
The 73-year-old TV personality sparked backlash when she revealed she would attend an upcoming demonstration led by Tommy Robinson, a divisive figure known for founding the English Defence League. After he posted a video promoting the May 16 march, Sharon appeared in the comments, writing simply: “See you at the march.”
That brief message was enough to ignite fierce criticism online, with many fans expressing shock and disappointment. Some even suggested her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, would never have supported such a move, with one user claiming he would have strongly opposed it.
The backlash escalated quickly — and consequences followed.
Homelessness charity Centrepoint confirmed it had severed ties with Sharon, who had been working with the organisation as an ambassador. In a firm statement, the charity made clear that her involvement in the rally conflicted with its core values.
They stated that the organisation has always supported young people from all backgrounds and emphasized the importance of building a society where individuals can live without fear and access opportunities to rebuild their lives.
The decision has sharply divided public opinion.
Some supporters rushed to defend Sharon, arguing the charity had overstepped by getting involved in political matters. One person insisted the organisation had lost a valuable figure and potential support, while others warned the move could impact donations.
But many others backed Centrepoint’s decision, praising the charity for standing by its principles. Comments flooded in applauding the organisation, with several saying it had “done the right thing” and shown integrity in a difficult situation.
As the debate continues to rage, Sharon has yet to publicly respond — leaving the controversy hanging in the air and the public waiting for her next move.
