Sharon Osbourne recently made headlines by claiming that her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, was “stoned on every episode” of their family’s reality show, The Osbournes.
The show, which aired from 2002 to 2005 on MTV, provided an inside look into the chaotic and often humorous life of the Osbourne family.
During her appearance on the British series Celebrity Big Brother, Sharon Osbourne opened up about Ozzy’s reliance on marijuana during the filming of The Osbournes.
She candidly revealed, “He was stoned on every episode. He was never sober.” This confession sheds light on Ozzy’s state of mind during the filming of the popular reality show.
Interestingly, despite the show’s immense popularity, Ozzy Osbourne himself has never watched a single episode of The Osbournes. Sharon mentioned that Ozzy has no interest in viewing the show and has avoided watching it altogether.
While The Osbournes garnered widespread attention and a dedicated fan base, it also had its drawbacks. In a podcast episode featuring the Osbourne family, daughter Kelly Osbourne spoke about the negative impact the show had on her mental health. She described the constant scrutiny and judgment that came with being on a reality show, leading to insecurities and challenges.
Reflecting on his experience with the show, Ozzy Osbourne admitted that the intrusive nature of the cameras sometimes made him feel “a bit crazy.” He recalled wanting a private space away from the cameras but finding that even his designated safe room wasn’t free from filming.
As for the possibility of a reboot or continuation of The Osbournes, both Ozzy and his son Jack Osbourne expressed skepticism. They agreed that the intense and often surreal experience of being on a reality show like The Osbournes is not something they would want to repeat. Ozzy emphasized that the show’s intrusive nature and constant scrutiny were challenging to handle.
Apart from discussing The Osbournes, the family has also been open about Ozzy’s marijuana usage. Sharon once recounted a humorous incident involving Ozzy’s stash, highlighting her efforts to discourage his smoking habits.
Overall, Sharon Osbourne’s recent comments shed light on the behind-the-scenes reality of The Osbournes and Ozzy Osbourne’s unique experience during the show’s filming.
