Sharon Osbourne is eating a slice of humble pie.

“Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman, and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her,” Osbourne wrote on Facebook.

“I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan.”

The apology comes a week after Osbourne said that the Scottish singer was a ” lovely lady” who’d been “hit” by a “f- – – – – – ugly stick.”
