In a candid moment during her show "Sharon Osbourne: Cut The Crap," held in London on Sunday, Sharon Osbourne, aged 71, shared her harrowing experience of attempting suicide after discovering one of her husband Ozzy Osbourne's past affairs. The revelation left the audience shocked as Sharon opened up about her emotional turmoil.

Sharon, who not only manages Ozzy's career but is also a prominent figure in her own right, revealed that the discovery of Ozzy's infidelity took a toll on her mental well-being. The news, shared by the U.K. newspaper Mirror, highlighted Sharon's statement regarding the emotional investment involved when the person involved in the affair has a name, address, and place of work. Overwhelmed by the situation, Sharon confessed, "I took I don't know how many pills."

The incident occurred as Sharon believed her children, Aimée, Kelly, and Jack, were grown and could take care of themselves. With her emotions in turmoil, she took an overdose and locked herself in the bedroom. It was her maid who discovered her distressing state while attempting to enter the room for cleaning.

This alarming revelation follows Ozzy Osbourne's public acknowledgment in 2020 that he feared Sharon would leave him after discovering his extramarital affairs eight years prior. The news surfaced when Ozzy's affair with celebrity hairstylist Michelle Pugh became public knowledge in May 2016. He subsequently sought therapy for his reported addiction to sex.

Despite the challenges they faced, Sharon and Ozzy managed to repair their relationship and even renewed their vows, finding strength in their love for one another. In a recent interview, Ozzy expressed his astonishment at still being together with Sharon, admitting his past infidelities. Sharon paralleled their journey to a "Shakespearean play," acknowledging Ozzy's previous indiscretions with women.

Sharon's resilience was apparent as she discussed how broken she felt following her husband's affairs. She warned Ozzy, "If you ever do this to me again, I'm gonna cut your hair off or I'm gonna cut all your clothes." Ozzy added, expressing regret for his actions and the appreciation he gained for their relationship once it was nearly lost.

The couple's upcoming biopic, being produced in collaboration with Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment, will shed further light on their love story. The film, which will explore the journey of the BLACK SABBATH frontman and his wife and manager, will provide an authentic portrayal of their lives. Sharon emphasized that the movie would be "a lot more real" than other biopics, aiming to tell a story of survival and resilience.

The Osbournes' relationship with Sharon's father, the late music mogul Don Arden, also played a significant role in their lives. A legal settlement led Sharon to pay her father $1 million after she gained control of Ozzy's affairs, marking a difficult period in their relationship. However, they eventually reconciled in 2002 after nearly two decades of estrangement.

Sharon's revelation about her suicide attempt brings to light the emotional turmoil she faced during one of the most challenging periods in her marriage. Her honesty shines a spotlight on the topic of mental health and the devastating impact of infidelity. As the Osbournes navigate the complexities of their past, they continue to inspire others with their resilience and commitment to overcoming adversity.
