Ozzy Osbourne, popularly referred to as the “Godfather of Metal,” is renowned for being a member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. He was a founding member of the band, which came together in 1968 but pursued a solo career after being kicked out of it.

The reason Ozzy was kicked out of the band in 1979 was his drug and alcohol addiction, which began affecting his performance. However, the musician went on to have a successful career alone because of his manager and wife, Sharon Osbourne’s help. Ozzy eventually reconciled with his former bandmates and rejoined in 1997. 

Sharon and Ozzy had their ups and downs before they fell in love and tied the knot in 1982. However, the duo has worked things out in their relationship and seems to have the perfect marriage nowadays.

Coupled with managing her husband’s music career, Sharon also manages other talents through her management company. "She wears many hats: an American TV personality, a former talk show host, and a former judge on shows like “The X Factor” and “America’s Got Talent.” In addition, the manager is a successful author whose autobiography made it to the bestseller list and became the most successful female autobiography to be sold. 

Other than holding a record for her autobiography, Sharon has also had a lot of plastic surgeries on her face and body. However, despite performing multiple plastic surgeries, the TV personality disclosed to The Sun in an interview published on April 24, 2023, that she would not be doing anymore. Sharon has also come under fire for her frail looks after she appeared in a television interview after losing 30 pounds through the use of the controversial diabetes medicine, Ozempic.

Sharon has always been involved in controversy. She has not shied away from it either. While talking about cancel culture and the ups and downs in her life, she told The Times: 

“Everyone is scared of saying something wrong. It’s no way to live.”

The media personality faced cancel culture in 2021 when she defended her friend, Piers Morgan, over his statement that he didn’t believe what the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, said in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Following an investigation into her statement, Sharon left "The Talk," where she had worked for 11 years as a co-host, on March 26, 2021. Sharon’s co-host, Sheryl Underwood, had accused her of validating her friend’s racist beliefs. 

Amid the opposition, Ozzy stood by his wife and defended her. This was not the first time he would support his wife. After critics slammed Sharon for her plastic surgeries, the musician disclosed that he didn’t mind and loved her whichever way she looked. Ozzy revealed that he loved his spouse’s inner being above all else, and that was all he cared about. As per the Irish Examiner, he said:

"Whether my wife is the size of this house or as skinny as Twiggy's left leg, it's the person I love, not the look."

A year after Ozzy told off his wife’s critics, Sharon appeared on “Dr. Phil” and discussed her plastic surgeries with him. Upon the host’s prodding to share what she had already disclosed in her book, the mom of three said: 

“I’ve had my boobies done twice. I’ve had facelifts, neck done, haven’t had anything done to my eyes or lips — I never wanted those lippies.” 

Sharon also revealed that she also had her arms, legs, tummy and bum done. When the host asked if it hurt, she replied: 

“Oh, it hurt, but again there’s no gain without pain, and anything you do, nothing comes without a price.”

Sharon decided to halt her pursuit of beauty through surgical means, as disclosed in an April 24, 2023 interview with The Sun. The reality TV personality said her last facelift, which she got in 2021, left her looking like a cyclops. 

“That one put me off and it frightens me,” she confessed during the interview. “I really f***ing pushed it with the last facelift and I am now like, no more.”

Although Ozzy offered to pay for another surgery to correct it, the former talk show host declined the offer. 

Sharon previously disclosed on "The Talk" that she was getting more plastic surgeries because she didn’t want to look like her mom. However, the result of the surgery was far from pleasant, and the subsequent surgery in 2021 only made things worse. When fans saw her in an Instagram post she shared in June 2023, many thought she was unwell as she looked very thin. 

“Why do they feel they need to lose that much weight?” a follower asked. 

A second commented, “Oh she doesn’t look well, look at Sharon’s face she looks ill......😢,” while another wrote she looked "too thin." 

A fourth person opined, “SHE USED TO LOOK GOOD BUT WITH ALL HER PLASTIC SURGERY SHE LOST HER GOOD LOOKS.”

A subsequent post on Instagram in July 2023 saw Sharon coming under fire again when critics condemned her lips. The best-selling author was with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, and two others in the frame. 

“What’s with the big lips? That looks awful!!!! The rest is great but the lips,” a follower asserted. 

Another follower wrote, “Don’t like the big lips 👄 sorry guys but looks fake and fishy looking.”

“Big lips, sink ships,” a third commented, while a fourth follower teased, “Sharon with the botox 😎.”

Sharon came under fire again for her diminishing frame after she appeared with Ozzy, Kelly and her son Jack Osbourne on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” in September 2023. As the foursome discussed various topics, including Ozzy’s ailing health, many viewers couldn’t help but be distracted by Sharon’s looks. In the interview, she wore an oversized pink sweater that appeared to swallow her thin figure. 

Viewers were shocked at the television personality’s appearance, with one user commenting:

“OMG what on earth has Sharon Osborne done to herself…she looks dreadful!” 

One viewer noted Sharon's "gaunt" appearance, while another questioned what had “happened to Sharon’s face!!”

Another wrote, “#Yikes Sharon Osborne (sic) after using #ozempic to lose weight,” alongside a zoomed-in photo of Sharon during the interview. 

Sharon touched on the issue during the interview itself, telling host Morgan that she had been putting effort into losing weight but conceding that she “didn’t want to go this thin.” Prior to the interview, Sharon had spoken openly about her use of Ozempic, an injectable medication used to treat type-2 diabetes that has since become infamous after celebrities began using it for weight loss. Sharon said she felt no shame in using it and told E! News:

“It's not a dirty little secret when you've taken something to help you lose weight, which is perfectly fine.”

However, she added she had stopped using Ozempic as she was “at the point of losing too much that I have to try and maintain.” 

“In my life, the heaviest I was 230 pounds and I'm now under 100. And I want to maintain at about 105 because I'm too skinny. But I'm trying to have a healthy balance."
