While speaking to the crowd during her stage tour, she looked back on her relationship; the good and bad times, Sharon Osbourne opened up about the moment she discovered her husband’s affair. She expressed her shock and pain, emphasizing that knowing the name, address, and workplace of the person involved made the situation even more emotionally challenging. The weight of this betrayal pushed her to a dark place, leading her to take an overdose of pills.
The 71-year-old recalled, “He always, always had groupies and I was so used to that,” Sharon said, according to the U.K. newspaper The Mirror. “But when he knows the name of the person, where they live and where they work … it is a whole different thing as you are emotionally invested. I took, I don’t know how many pills.” She continued, “So I took an overdose and locked myself in the bedroom,” she said. “The maid tried to come in to clean room and saw me.”

Ozzy has previously spoken about his infidelity in the past interviews. He shared regrets about cheating in a 2020 interview with British GQ.
“I’ve done some pretty outrageous things in my life. I regret cheating on my wife. I don’t do it anymore,” he said. “I got my reality check and I’m lucky she didn’t leave me. I’m not proud of that. I was pissed off with myself. But I broke her heart.”
While speaking with Hello! Magazine, the reality star, who shares daughters Aimee, 40, and Kelly, 39, and son Jack, 38, with Ozzy, went on to admit, “I made a huge mistake. Without Sharon, I am nothing. I love her. I can honestly say that I have never loved anybody other than my wife.”
