(page 1 of 6) View Entire Story

NBC has been on the tip of everyone's tongue in recent weeks, and often for the wrong reasons.

After seven seasons, "America's Got Talent" judge Sharon Osbourne announced her resignation from the show on Monday, claiming that NBC discriminated against her son, Jack Osbourne, who recently went public with the devastating news he was suffering from multiple sclerosis.

Sharon told The New York Post that her son and the network had a "verbal agreement" for him to be a contestant on their highly-anticipated, military-training style reality series "Stars Earn Stripes," but that they ruthlessly pulled the plug just two days before filming after hearing of his diagnosis. 

"Its discrimination and it was badly handled," an upset Osbourne told The Post. "He didn't want the money. He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed. Think of the good that it could have done to show other people who have this [condition] that your life is not over."
