Sharon Osbourne said her husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, was 
high on drugs for the entirety of their popular reality show, “The 
Osbournes.”

“He was stoned on every episode,” Sharon told a “Celebrity Big Brother” 
contestant who mentioned watching the series, per Entertainment Weekly. “He 
was never sober,” the 71-year-old celebrity continued. “He’s never seen [the 
show], doesn’t want to see it, and he never watched one episode.”

“The Osbournes” aired on MTV between 2002 and 2005. It followed Ozzy and the 
rest of his family members, including Sharon and his children Jack and Kelly, 
as they went about their lives. A third Osbourne offspring, Aimee, refused to 
participate in the reality show and was openly critical of the whole idea.

Ozzy and Sharon now host a podcast called “The Osbournes Podcast” where 
they’ve discussed the reality show and how it impacted them.

During a conversation on the podcast in November, Kelly said being on the 
show had a “massive negative effect” on her.

“Imagine having to relive every conversation you’ve ever had throughout a 24
-hour period or six month period, and then all of a sudden people are judging 
everything you’ve said,” Kelly said. “You’re just like, ‘Wait I just thought 
I was having a normal conversation, now this person hates me.’ It’s crazy. It 
just made me so insecure.”

Ozzy agreed, saying, “It’s so intrusive in your house. At the time, I said I 
wanted a safe room where I could go and pick my nose and squeeze a zit if I 
want to without being on camera, and they had a f***ing camera in there. When 
you’ve got hidden cameras, you start to freak out.”

He added that “never in a million years” would he do a reality show like that 
again.

Ozzy has been struggling with his health after being diagnosed with 
Parkinson’s disease in 2003. He’s also expressed his intention to go back on 
tour.

“I’m getting pissed off reading the papers, and they’re saying things like 
‘Ozzy is fighting his last battle.’ He’s sung his last ‘Paranoid.’ You know, 
I don’t even think about Parkinson’s that much,” Osbourne said in November, 
as The Daily Wire previously reported.

“I said to [my wife] Sharon that I’d smoked a joint recently and she said, 
‘What are you doing that for! It’ll f***-ing kill you!’” he continued. “I 
said, ‘How long do you want me to f***ing live for?!’ At best, I’ve got 10 
years left and when you’re older, time picks up speed.”
