“It's just so stereotypical that somebody who's a two-bit celebrity goes into prison for whatever reason, comes out,” Osbourne, 63, said on The Talk. “They sell a story. Everybody wants to hear their story. Were you raped, love? God, I hope she wasn't. At least she would have gotten some enjoyment out of it.”
But after getting hate on social media from fans and activists, Osbourne backtracked her controversial comments about the 43-year-old reality star.

“We've had a lot of people that have been on social media online saying I shouldn't made the comment about rape and the thing that in the context that it was used, really, people who know me know that I would never mean harm by saying that to people who have been in that situation,” she said.
She continued: “It was a throwaway remark and that's the way it should be taken. As a throwaway remark, not meant to hurt anybody. So I apologize if I have offended or hurt anybody other than that woman that we were talking about.”

Teresa has not addressed Sharon’s remarks, but we’re guessing there won’t be a feud any time soon since Giudice said she spent her time behind bars working on herself. “I would use my time in prison to rethink things,” she wrote in her memoir. “I was going to come out of prison a better person and try to make things right again in my life.”
