Sharon Osbourne has insisted her late husband Ozzy’s multiple affairs during their marriage ‘meant nothing’.
Speaking in an emotional interview on Piers Morgan: Uncensored Sharon reflected on her enduring relationship with the Black Sabbath rocker, who died in July at the age of 76.
Whilst they shared 43 years of marriage and three children, the couple’s relationship was famously punctuated with Ozzy’s infidelities.
But Sharon has now insisted that the only time his cheating ‘fazed’ her was when he brought women back to her house.
She explained that for her whole life she’d been surrounded by ‘addicts and alcoholics and people like that, it was the 70s. It honestly didn’t faze me at all,’ adding that her childhood with her violent father meant she was ‘so used to extreme behaviour’.
‘I know it’s a whole thing with a lot of women, “If you go with somebody else, that’s it. It’s over.” But we’re all so different. It didn’t faze me,’ Sharon added.
But she added that she was upset when things got closer to home.
Sharon said: ‘A couple of times, it was like, “I don’t like the fact you brought them to my house.” And it is my f*ing house. I would go to him, “I furnished it!” That I didn’t like.’
She reiterated though, ‘It never fazed me because I know what he’s like, and it means nothing. Means nothing.’
Sharon and Ozzy married in 1982 and have three children – Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
Sharon was aware of Ozzy’s wandering eye, admitting to the Telegraph in 2017 that he had cheated on her with multiple women during their relationship, including ‘some Russian teenager, then a masseuse in England, our masseuse out here, and then our cook’.
The Prince of Darkness apologised in 2016 when it emerged he had been having an illicit four-year fling with Michelle Pugh.
The Black Sabbath frontman brushed off the tryst with his younger lover, insisting there was no emotional connection and said ‘sorry if Ms Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context’.
In a statement released at the time by Ozzy’s spokesman, he also apologised ‘to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with’ as it was revealed he was having therapy for sex addiction.
Elsewhere in her interview with Piers, Sharon revealed she didn’t want to live anymore after her husband passed away.
The Black Sabbath legend died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22 just three weeks after performing a farewell gig with his bandmates in his hometown.
She said through tears: ‘I would have just gone with Ozzy… Oh, yeah, definitely, I’ve done everything I wanted to do…’ but she added that it was the love of her children which got her through.
‘They’ve been, they’ve been, excuse me, unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them.’
Piers asked: ‘They’re the reason, and their kids are the reason why you’ve got to hang in there?’
The former X Factor judge replied: ‘Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head.
‘And there were two girls over there – they didn’t know each other, but they were in there, each mother had committed suicide, and I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.’
She added: ‘Grief has now become my friend… It is very weird to me, you know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will, I have to, you know, things move on.’
