Ozzy Osbourne, popularly referred to as the “Godfather of Metal,” is best known as a member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. He was a founding member of the band, which came together in 1968, but pursued a solo career after being kicked out of it.
Ozzy was kicked out of the band in 1979 because of his drug and alcohol addiction, which began affecting his performance. However, the musician went on to have a successful career alone because of his manager and wife, Sharon Osbourne’s help.
Sharon and Ozzy had ups and downs before falling in love, but they got married in 1982. However, the duo has worked things out in their relationship and seems to have the perfect marriage nowadays.
Coupled with managing her husband’s music career, Sharon also manages other talents through her management company. She wears many hats–an American TV personality, a former talk show host, and a former judge on shows like “The X Factor” and “America’s Got Talent.” Throughout the years, Sharon has been a controversial figure both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Her bold personality and outspoken attitude have earned her quite a reputation. Aside from that, Sharon has received criticism because of her plastic surgeries on her face and body.
Although she has publicly clarified that she has stepped away from getting cosmetic procedures done, she continues to face backlash for taking the controversial diabetes medicine Ozempic.
In one of the videos she posted online, many were shocked after seeing the media personality’s unrecognizable appearance, which many presumed to be the effect of taking the embattled drug.

Sharon has always been involved in controversy. She has not shied away from it either. While talking about cancel culture and the ups and downs in her life, she told The Times:
“Everyone is scared of saying something wrong. It’s no way to live.”
The media personality faced cancel culture in 2021 when she defended her friend, Piers Morgan, over his statement that he didn’t believe what the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, said in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Following an investigation into her statement, Sharon left “The Talk,” where she had worked for 11 years as a co-host, on March 26, 2021. Sharon’s co-host, Sheryl Underwood, had accused her of validating her friend’s racist beliefs.
Amid the opposition, Ozzy stood by his wife and defended her. This was not the first time he would support his wife. After critics slammed Sharon for her plastic surgeries, the musician disclosed that he didn’t mind and loved her whichever way she looked. Ozzy revealed that he loved his spouse’s inner being above all else, and that was all he cared about. As per the Irish Examiner, he said:
“Whether my wife is the size of this house or as skinny as Twiggy’s left leg, it’s the person I love, not the look.”
A year after Ozzy told off his wife’s critics, Sharon appeared on “Dr. Phil” and discussed her plastic surgeries with him. Upon the host’s prodding to share what she had already disclosed in her book, the mom of three said:
“I’ve had my boobies done twice. I’ve had facelifts, neck done, haven’t had anything done to my eyes or lips — I never wanted those lippies.”
Sharon also revealed that she also had her arms, legs, tummy and bum done. When the host asked if it hurt, she replied:
“Oh, it hurt, but again there’s no gain without pain, and anything you do, nothing comes without a price.”
