Sharon Osbourne outs herself as a monster

SHARON OSBOURNE was called a “horrible person” after she revealed she forced a former employee into a burning house to save valuable paintings, before sacking him for not laughing about it.

After the fire woke her up, she told the employee to save her paintings.
