And 90% of Ozzy's fans don't like her.
If Ozzy DID cheat on her i cant say i blame him...
Ozzy says he's cheated up to 6 times,and the last one he cheated with had to filed a lawsuit because among other things crazy ass Kelly Osbourne tweeted out her #.
In a lawsuit filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court, Pugh claims that she felt “slut-shamed, bullied and harassed” following a series of tweets sent out by Kelly Osbourne after tabloids began reporting about Ozzy Osbourne’s affair, TMZ reports.
“Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights a blow out and a blowjob call [Pugh’s phone number],” Kelly Osbourne tweeted in May before adding, “My father is almost 70 ever heard of elder abuse?”

After CBS temporarily put The Talk on hiatus following Sharon Osbourne’s heated defense of Piers Morgan over accusations of racism earlier this month, the network announced Friday that Osbourne has opted not to return to the daytime talk show. “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The Talk,” CBS said in a statement, published by the Hollywood Reporter. “The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.”
“At the same time, we acknowledge the network and studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast, as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race,” the network’s statement continues. “During this week’s hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers.”
On March 10, Sharon Osbourne grew heated defending personal friend and British TV personality Piers Morgan against allegations of racism stemming from his on-air criticism of Meghan Markle, particularly his insistence that she lied about her treatment from the British royal family. Markle’s recent interview with Oprah Winfrey was the topic of conversation on The Talk that day. “I very much feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?,” Osbourne declared to co-host Sheryl Underwood, demanding Underwood “educate” her about how Morgan could be racist. Following the segment, Osbourne both publicly apologized for her meltdown and later declared she had been “set up” by producers to be a “sacrificial lamb.”
Following the segment, which prompted CBS to put the show on hiatus for two days, then later two weeks, former Talk co-host Holly Robinson Peete claimed Osbourne called her “too ghetto” to host the daytime talk show, and even had a hand in her eventual dismissal from the program. Another former Talk co-host, Leah Remini, as well as other sources, subsequently alleged Osbourne had used racist and homophobic slurs to talk about former co-hosts Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert, respectively. Osbourne denied the accusations against her, calling them “lies” in a press release issued by her publicist. The Talk is currently scheduled to return on Monday, April 12, after a pre-scheduled hiatus the preceding week.

Ozzy Osbourne Says He Felt 'Serenity' When He Tried Killing Wife Sharon in 1989
"He just says, 'We've come to a decision that you've got to die,'" Sharon recalled Ozzy saying

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are reflecting on the "frightening" experience when he tried to kill her.
In the Black Sabbath frontman's new documentary Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, the couple reflect on an infamous 1989 incident when Ozzy almost choked Sharon to death while on several drugs.
"We'd had a couple of fights and you can tell it was building to something, you could just feel it," Sharon, 67, said in the film. "I just knew it was coming."
"It's like night and day," Sharon said of Ozzy on drugs. "That's it."
Sharon explained then that Ozzy was "very rarely calm" but at this moment he was. "It frightened the s— out of me," she said.
"I felt the calmest I've ever felt in my life," Ozzy, 72, recalled. "It was like serenity. Everything was just peaceful."
Sharon walked viewers through the night: she put her children — Aimee, Kelly and Jack — to bed and started reading a book before the "No More Tears" singer came into the room.
"I had no idea who sat across from me on the sofa but it wasn't my husband," The Talk co-host said. "He gets to a stage where he gets this look in his eyes where his shutters are down and I couldn't get through to him."
"He just says, 'We've come to a decision that you've got to die,'" she added. Sharon describes how he dived at her and began to choke her.
"He was calm, very very calm and he lunged across at me," she remembered. "I felt the stuff on the table and felt the panic button and just pressed it. Next thing I know the cops were there."
In a separate clip, an interviewer asks the "Crazy Train" singer, "Do you feel uncomfortable talking about it?"
"All I remember is waking up in Amersham jail and I asked the cop, 'Why am I here?' And he says, 'You want me to read your charge?' So he read, 'John Michael Osbourne, you have been arrested for the attempted murder of Sharon Osbourne,'" Ozzy recalled, before adding, "I was very very surprised when she dropped the charges."
"It was probably the most frightened I've ever been," Sharon later added.
Sharon then explained that following the near-death incident, she considered getting a divorce. Ozzy was put into a treatment facility for six months. During that time, she said was "really lonely" without him.
"I was looking at all the options left in my life," she said. "I was looking at everything. What is going to be the best for my kids? What is going to be the best for me?"
"I hated being without him," Sharon then added. "Ozzy was very frightened when he came out and when he was in his house, he definitely watched what he was doing. He frightened himself."

After the two described the incident in the film, their daughter Kelly then reveals she "hates going on holiday," especially to the beach, because of her childhood memories.
"It reminds me of being a kid and that was what we did after Dad did something bad," said Kelly, 35.
The documentary features interviews with his family as well as some friends and fellow musicians including Rick Rubin, Ice-T, Marilyn Manson, Jonathan Davis, Post Malone and others.
Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne premiered on A&E Monday night.
Sharon Osbourne used to mail poo boxes to her critics

So Sharon Osbourne Used to Mail Poo Boxes to Her Critics
Now, we all know Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have a unique style when it comes to dealing with conflict.
After all, the Prince of Darkness once chucked a baked ham at their neighbors' window to get them to turn off their loud music.
But Sharon told James Cordon on "The Late Late Show" Monday night she had her own special way of expressing her anger back when her two children were still young.
"What I used to do was, I used to get one of the kids to crap in a box and I would put it in a Tiffany box. And I would have it delivered," said Sharon Osbourne on "The Late Late Show."
And this apparently didn't happen just once.
"And Jack used to say, 'Mommy, I don't have to poo in a box again do I?' And I said, 'Yes, shut up! Keep pooing!'" said Sharon.
Sharon swears she hasn't sent any of her "special deliveries" out in years. But when someone insults her family, things get really stinking serious.
The Osbourne matriarch told The Guardian she used to send out poop boxes to anyone who attacked her loved ones. "I've done it for an awfully long time. I suppose I find it funny."
We used to have the pleasure of witnessing Sharon's devious revenge plans first hand when "The Osbournes" was still on the air in the early 2000s.
And lucky for us, Sharon herself announced on "The Talk" last year the reality show will be returning to the small screen.
"It's not as much coming back as a proper series as an update. At most, there will only be six to eight episodes. And it's a catch up on our lives and where we are now."
VH1 is reportedly near a deal for the new batch of episodes, though it's unclear when the reboot will premiere.
Until then, we're sure Sharon can provide us with plenty of hilarious Osbourne stories to hold us over.
Does anyone like Sharon Osbourne? If so why? I can't stand her.
Answer (1 of 2): There are LOTS of reasons to dislike Sharon Osborne. She mailed her own poop to people she didnt like. Pretty gross and classless. At an Ozzfest show where fellow metal band Iron Maiden were playing, there was a feud brewing. So, Sharon decided it was good form to throw eggs at...

There are LOTS of reasons to dislike Sharon Osborne.
She mailed her own poop to people she didnt like. Pretty gross and classless.
At an Ozzfest show where fellow metal band Iron Maiden were playing, there was a feud brewing. So, Sharon decided it was good form to throw eggs at them during their set and cut the power. But hey, Sharon already had the people’s money, so why should she care about what the people wanted to see. Iron Maiden is still one of the best acts in the business.
In another feud, where past members of Ozzy’s band claim to be owed back royalties, Sharon decided to have his classic albums re-recorded with studio musicians so that the original musicians wouldnt get paid. The original guys were the ones who wrote the songs and music (you dont think Ozzy’s drunk ass wrote it all…?)
She allegedly drugged Ozzy to get him to admit his affair in 2016. She slipped 2 additional sleeping pills into his drink — something that could have had dire consequences — which loosened his lips and he admitted the affair. Im not taking Ozzy’s side here, but drugging an old man, even one as seasoned as Ozz, is asking for problems, and lets face it, she was certainly known to cheat during their marriage and she was “with” Ozzy when he was still married to his first wife.
Those are just a few things I know about her, there’s undoubtedly more. I have ZERO respect for her, she is a money-hungry, manipulative, lying bitch. Thats why people dont like her, except housewives who have only seen her on TV, who think she “tells it like it is”. No. She’s an actress who will do anything if the price is right. Im sure she learned it all from her Dad, Don Arden — another soulless prick.
Good for the crazy ass bitch.
Really and truly does anyone really care about the show, it's people or whether it's relevant. Sharon has been a privileged half baked self absorbed person all her life - she is ozzie's wife for pete's sake. She loves defending the undefendable as that what's she does. She is also mad passive aggressive as the black lady found out. But really this show has been on the edge of irrelevancy for a min now. Good riddance.
This is the bag she wanted so let her carry it.
I'm going to make a blanket statement: White people, through their upbringing, are inherently racist, the degree of which they are all depends on the way they perceive others who are not white.
[tangent]
Racist is equated with power and prejudice, bigotry is equated with prejudice against those not the same. A person of color cannot be a racist as they are not the ones in power in society. Bigots can be of any color or creed. [/tangent]
With that said, white people, even the most liberal who are sometimes the worst, will feel that they are better than others who are not white, regardless of that person's education or wealth level.

Sheryl Underwood speaks out after Sharon Obsourne's 'The Talk' exit, says she hasn't apologized

Sheryl Underwood has weighed in on Sharon Osbourne's exit from The Talk following their heated on-air discussion and its fallout, which ultimately led to Osbourne announcing she would leave the CBS talk show.
In a three-part podcast series titled "Sharon Walks Away," Underwood addressed her intense exchange with Osbourne on the March 10 episode of The Talk. It began when the latter defended Piers Morgan in the wake of his controversial words about Meghan Markle, and Underwood pushed back, questioning Osbourne about her support for the British broadcaster.
"While you are standing by your friend, it appears that you are giving validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist," Underwood said.
Osbourne then asked Underwood to explain what was racist about Morgan's remarks. "I feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist," she said, telling Underwood "not to cry" as they continued talking.

Osbourne later claimed she had been "blindsided" by Underwood's questions, which she said were given to her cohost by CBS executives. The network conducted an investigation into the matter, during which the show went on hiatus, and "did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts," according to a statement.
Underwood echoed this on her podcast, stating that "none" of her questions came from executives, and that as the moderator of the conversation, she wanted to frame the discussion "in a way that was not perceived as attacking."
"In my gut, I thought this was going to go left," she recalled. "And so I wanted to put it in its proper order, be very calm."
Underwood added that she has not spoken to Osbourne since they were last on set together, and that her former cohost has not reached out to apologize. (A rep for Osbourne had previously told PEOPLE that Osbourne had reached out to Underwood.)
Discussing her previous relationship with Osbourne, Underwood said, "I automatically just fell in love with her because I just like her. And I heard things and I was like, 'They got nothing to do with me.' My thing is I'm going to get to know you first.
"I had heard things, and I got phone calls of this and that, and so what I said to those people, I said, 'Thank you for the information,'" she continued. "Because listen, in this business you've got all types of personalities, right?" Underwood did not elaborate on what she had heard.
In the wake of the controversial discussion, Osbourne was accused of making racist and offensive remarks during her tenure at The Talk. She vehemently denied the accusations (but repeated the racist language that had been alleged) in an interview with the Daily Mail shortly thereafter.
The Talk will return with original episodes April 12.
Sharon Osbourne shares text messages to prove she apologized to The Talk cohost Sheryl Underwood
Underwood had said Osbourne never reached out to her to apologize.

Sharon Osbourne has responded to Sheryl Underwood's accusation that she never reached out to her now-former The Talk cohost to apologize after sparring on air about Piers Morgan, Meghan Markle, and race.
Osbourne shared screenshots of text messages she sent to Underwood on March 12, March 15, and March 18. The screenshots were shared with The Daily Mail, which publishes a column written by Morgan, who was the subject of the discourse on the episode of The Talk on March 10 for his controversial remarks against Meghan.
Underwood, speaking about the events in a three-part "Sharon Walks Away" podcast released in April, said Osbourne never reached out to apologize to her and has not spoken with her former co-host since.
A representative for Osbourne confirmed the contents of the texts to EW. A rep for Underwood didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
"Sheryl, My heart is heavy and I'm deeply saddened by the events that transpired on Wednesday," Osbourne wrote to Underwood in her first March 12 text. "I don't want to lose my true friend over this. Im sorry for telling you to f--- off during the break, I'm sorry for for accusing you [of] fake crying while we were live on air and I'm sorry for losing my temper with you. I felt shocked, scared and saddened by what felt like was a [blindsided] attack."
"You know me," she continued. "You know how I've always had your back. We've outlasted everyone on this show and that's because we've always been a team and had each other backs. I consider you a genuine friend. If you want to talk on the phone over the weekend I'm here. Once again from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry. Is there anything You need from me or that I can do to help you heal? Love and respect always - Sharon."
A second text message, sent by Osbourne to Underwood two days after the first, reads, "I know you're taking space and I don't want to disrespect that. I'm just reaching out because I want you to know I'm thinking about you. If you are willing, can we talk before Wednesday? Big kiss."
The strife between Osbourne and Underwood broke out on The Talk on March 10 when Osbourne defended Morgan, who stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain and later quit the show after questioning Meghan's statements in her Oprah Winfrey CBS interview.
"While you are standing by your friend, it appears that you are giving validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist," Underwood had said.
"I feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist," Osbourne remarked. She also asked Underwood to explain what was racist about Morgan's remarks and shouted at her "not to cry" as she should be the one crying.
Osbourne later said she felt "blindsided" by CBS and the line of questioning, saying CBS executives fed the questions to Underwood and her cohosts. Following an investigation by the network, CBS said in a statement they "did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts."

Kevin Frazier Tells Black Women to Educate Sharon Osbourne, Amanda Seales Claps Back
Kevin Frazier tagged Amanda Seales on Instagram to arrange a "summit" with Sharon Osbourne because he feels she "is ready" and Seales responds
Entertainment Tonight host Kevin Frazier suggested Black women educate talk show host Sharon Osbourne on racism and that didn’t go too well with many people. Frazier came to this conclusion after conducting an interview with The Talk co-host about her heated on-air discussion with her co-host Sheryl Underwood.
On his since-deleted Instagram post, Frazier tagged Amanda Seales, Meghan Markle, Sheryl Underwood, and Holly Robinson-Peete to arrange a “summit” to discuss because he felt Osbourne “is ready.”
Once Seales saw the post, she had a few choice words for Frazier.
In part, Seales said, “It is not the responsibility of Black folks to educate white folks on how they cannot be trash ass folks. OK, they [bleeping] made up racism. Why the [bleep] we gotta teach you how to not be racist,” she asked in a five-minute rant. “To expect us to do that and to, as a Black person, try and rally up folks into that space is, one, just foolish and also not respectful of our time and of our energy.”
After getting major backlash, Frazier went back to Instagram and tried to clarify his intentions.
“Listen, I was suggesting that there be a place, in the mainstream where people (like Sheryl and Holly) could actually express their feelings without being muted or muzzled (and I can tell you that there were people who worked to mute Hollys voice after she left). That in the same arena where the transgressions occurred that they could be corrected.
“We are rarely given an opportunity to speak freely in those forums. The people I mentioned and the voices I suggested are people who I think have something important to say. Unfortunately that message was not delivered or received well. Ok… As for my interview with Sharon, it was 90 mins long and there was a lot said that was not reflected in what made the air. It also was done before the latest article detailing other transgressions. That has been addressed.
