“For the previous year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs”, Ozzy said on Facebook in an April 2013 post clarifying that they were not divorcing. “Any reports that I am not sober are completely innacurate”.
The 63-year-old television personality made a decision to take some time off from co-presenting chat show The Talk amidst claims she has split from the Black Sabbath rocker after 34 years of marriage over an alleged affair he has had with celebrity hairstylist Michelle Pugh.
Sharon’s The Talk co-host, Julie Chen, quickly addressed her absence on Monday’s show. She shared, “Before we get started, as you can see, Sharon is not here today”. News broke on Saturday that Ozzy and Sharon were splitting after 33 years of marriage, and rumors of infidelity quickly began to swirl.
Sharon first met Ozzy in the 1970s when his band, Black Sabbath, was rising to fame and later became his manager. All of the Osbournes, minus Aimee, starred in their own reality show from 2002-2005. The couple Wednesday on July 4, 1982 and had three children- Aimee, 32, Kelly, 31, and Jack, 30.
The couple’s spokesman Gary Farrow stated: “At this time Ozzy is not at the marital home”.
E! News also reported that Ozzy has agreed to move out of the house temporarily while official details of their split are worked out.
The invitation-only event media sheet reads: “Please join OZZY OSBOURNE and COREY TAYLOR as they make a very special announcement…” It was only after Sharon had confirmed the affair that she confronted her husband about it and has since kicked him out of their Beverly Hills mansion.
The couple has been married for 33 years.
“Everything that has been printed in the tabloids has been distorted”, Sahron said on The Talk.
Ozzy and Sharon have struggled in the past due to his drug and alcohol troubles, but the insider tells People his alleged affair has hit Sharon hard.
