Sharon Osbourne has been cut loose by a major homelessness charity after publicly backing a march tied to Tommy Robinson, and the fallout was swift.
Centrepoint has now made clear it wants distance from the TV personality after she commented, “See you at the march,” under an Instagram video promoting Robinson’s latest rally. In the clip, Robinson called for a public uprising against migration and mass immigration, using charged language about the government and Britain’s future. The video also featured inflammatory remarks about Afghan migrants in the U.K. That was enough for Centrepoint to shut the door.
Centrepoint Says Sharon Osbourne’s Politics Crossed a Line
In a statement, the charity said Osbourne’s public support for the rally ran directly against what it stands for. “Political activity like this runs counter to our values and our long history of supporting young people regardless of their background, religion or ethnicity,” a spokesperson said.
They added, “If we want young people to thrive in this country, then we need to ensure our society continues to allow them to live without fear and to access the opportunities they need to start education or work and leave homelessness behind.”
Osbourne had previously worked with Centrepoint through an Omaze fundraising campaign that offered entries to win a £5 million home and £250,000 in cash. But the charity stressed that arrangement was limited and is now finished.
“While Sharon supported us on this campaign, for which she was referred to as an ambassador, as is standard for Omaze prize draws, she is not an official ongoing ambassador of Centrepoint and we have no plans to work together in the future,” the spokesperson said.
Sharon Osbourne’s Previous Controversies
This is not the first time Osbourne’s political views have triggered backlash. The wife of late rocker Ozzy Osbourne was also slammed by Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap, who reacted angrily after her support for Robinson surfaced online. Osbourne had previously attacked the group over its Coachella set last year, where the band showed support for Gaza.
The timing only added more fuel. Robinson’s last ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march, held in September, reportedly drew a huge crowd and high-profile attention. This latest rally was already shaping up to be controversial. Osbourne jumping in publicly made it even harder for Centrepoint to stay quiet.
At this point, the message from the charity is blunt. Sharon Osbourne’s support for the march crossed a line, and there is no path forward between them.
