Extracts of Sharon Osbourne's upcoming autobiography, in which she attacks her "bitter" brother David Arden, have been published.
The pair have been publicly exchanging insults since their father Don Arden died in July. The decision of where to bury him divided the family.
In Survivor: My Story - The Next Chapter, serialised in the Daily Mirror, Osbourne pleads for the feud to end but blames David's bitterness and hatred.
She says he had a tough childhood and has been overshadowed by rock band manager Don and herself.
"All the projects he has been involved with have failed and he was declared bankrupt in England," she reveals. Osbourne recalls how she and her brother did not speak for 14 years until he came to her needing money.
"After some discussion Ozzy and I decided to take him back into our lives. Then we paid for David to live his life: household bills, mortgage, school fees, holidays and dental bills."
But the X Factor judge says she regrets the decision: "I made a terrible mistake letting my brother back into my life. I wish him no harm but wish he would end his hatred and bitterness."
And she claims her brother's allegations over her father's burial were unfounded: "David had not laid eyes on him for the last 18 months, as he could not enter the States following a drugs-related incident.
"David said our father wanted to be buried next to my mother in Surrey. My nephew, aunt and my father's girlfriend all said he wanted to be buried in Manchester. In the end, I went with my heart."
These comments come as David accuses Osbourne of forcing her husband Ozzy to overwork.
The book will be published by Sphere on October 4.
