Ozzy Osbourne, popularly referred to as the “Godfather of Metal,” is best known as 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.

Ozzy was kicked out of the band in 1979 because of 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. 

Sharon and Ozzy had ups and downs before falling in love, but they got married 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.” Throughout the years, Sharon has been a controversial figure both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Her bold personality and outspoken attitude have earned her quite a reputation. Aside from that, Sharon has received criticism because of her plastic surgeries on her face and body. 

Although she has publicly clarified that she has stepped away from getting cosmetic procedures done, she continues to face backlash for taking the controversial diabetes medicine Ozempic.

In one of the videos she posted online, many were shocked after seeing the media personality’s unrecognizable appearance, which many presumed to be the effect of taking the embattled drug. 

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 finally decided to halt her pursuit of beauty through surgical means, as disclosed in an April 24, 2023, interview with The Sun after a mishap. The reality TV personality said her last facelift, which she got in 2021, left her with a distorted appearance.

“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. Unfortunately, the results were less than satisfactory, 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 😎.”

In an interview with Morgan, fans noted Sharon's looks, and she came under fire again for her diminishing frame. The TV personality appeared with Ozzy, Kelly, and her son Jack Osbourne on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Sept. 20, 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 was dressed in an oversized pink sweater that appeared to swallow her thin figure. Her red hair remained unchanging despite her shocking appearance.

The TV Talk show host herself touched on her drastic weight loss. She revealed that Ozzy had been making fun of her for losing over 30 pounds and was calling her Nancy Reagan because she looked like the former First Lady, who was thin. 

She explained that while she wanted to lose her weight, she “didn’t want to go this thin. It just happened," she said. "I lost 42 pounds now and it’s just enough.” 

Sharon told Morgan about the harmful side effects, which included consistent nausea, and warned that the medication she used, Ozempic, be kept away from young people as they “will go berserk on it.”

"I was about two three weeks where I felt nauseous the whole time. You get very thirsty and you don’t eat," she divulged.

Meanwhile, the book author shared that she was trying to regain some weight and would soon get it back quickly. 

Sharon's struggle with food and weight loss solutions dates back to long ago. The former X-factor judge has had a gastric band done to adjust her appetite. To decrease their appetite, a surgeon would place an adjustable band around the top part of the stomach, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. She has also had a sleeve mastectomy done.

Sharon has always had an eating disorder, which impacted her relationship with food. 

"Sometimes, I would eat to punish myself and then I wouldn't eat to show that I had control of my life," she told E! News. "I tried exercising, but I'm too lazy for that."

She continued: 

"Everybody's got something in life, and mine was an eating disorder, and I've had it my entire life."

Regardless of the television personality’s declarations, viewers were shocked at her appearance. One user commented:

“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. 

Before the Morgan interview, Sharon had spoken openly about using 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," she said. 

While some celebrities agree with Sharon's take and are open about their use of Ozempic, others, including Raven-Symoné and Sophie Turner, have decried the use of the drug simply as a weight loss tool.

On Aug. 17, 2024, Sharon was one of the thousands of people who attended Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium in London. On TikTok, a fan spotted Sharon and asked her to do a TikTok video. 

Like many, Sharon dressed to the occasion, wearing a “Taylor for President” sweatshirt throughout the concert. While her choice of clothing sparked conversations online, people were very intrigued by her latest appearance. 

Sharon looked very thin and frail in the photos and videos taken by The Daily Mail and people on social media. 

Fans were surprised by the drastic effects of Ozempic on the reality TV star’s appearance, which further emphasized her previous cosmetic surgeries. 

“awww Sharon you didn't need anything done to ya face you were just fine the way you were,” a user said on TikTok. 

“what the heck happened. she was the most gorgeous woman. omgosh stop it!!!!” another wrote. 

“Too far Sharon !!!” one reminded. 

“In future age gracefully and embrace the ageing process as it’s part of life,” a worried fan suggested. 

“Oh my! Sharon darling! I barely recognise you! I know it’s due to weight loss, but darling please take care of yourself! ❤️” another fan said. 

While the immediate effects of the drug can be easily seen and felt, experts have warned about the possible long-term risks of using Ozempic. 

Speaking to CBS News, Mayo Clinic endocrinologist Dr. Meera Shah said: “There's a lot of excitement about how good [these drugs] are, and certainly they are very good, but there's a little bit of an unknown in terms of long term. At some point does your body not respond to it anymore? I don't know."
