The former X Factor judge explained that the Syco boss prefers younger women on his TV shows.   &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no substitute for life experience,&amp;quot; she said at the National Radio Conference in Sydney. &amp;quot;I adore Simon but he&amp;#039;s ageist with women.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;It will be ten years before women start to sue for being fired because of their age. That&amp;#039;s when things will start to change.&amp;quot; Osbourne, who recently quit Cowell&amp;#039;s America&amp;#039;s Got Talent, also said at the conference that Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s career won&amp;#039;t last. She has previously slammed Cowell in the press, joking that the TV star must suffer from &amp;quot;small-penis syndrome&amp;quot; following revelations about his love life.
