Nearly four years ago, Jack knocked a tabloid producer for approaching him about sensitive information on his mother, Sharon Osbourne. The producer had reached out to Jack via text message, looking for answers on the state of the family matriarch's health, as reports filtered around that she had been admitted to the hospital.

As shared by The Blast, the producer noted that according to their information, Sharon fainted on the set of a paranormal-themed TV show at Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula.

Jack swiftly clapped back at the message, warning the producer to desist from ever contacting him, as he might be forced to act unruly towards him. Jack described the producer as very desperate and dared him to quote his response as another clout-chasing headline.
