He said he is pleased Osbourne is no longer a judge on the reality show because he found her "nasty" and "abusive".
Osbourne described Brookstein as "a fake" and "full of crap" during the X Factor final in 2004, but he still went on to win the show.
"She's past her sell-by date," the singer told the Daily Record. "I think people have forgotten how nasty she was to me and how she has been proven wrong.
"What's the worst I've done? Worked in Butlins? Is that as bad a person as I am?"
He added: "I don't wish her any bad things, whatever she does is up to her. She is the most abusive woman I've ever met, but I put it down to her having issues. She's had a hard life.
"I've never had much respect for her, but I don't wish her any ill, she's a human being - just."
