A recap of Ozzy Osbourne’s 2016 cheating scandal; Sharon says Ozzy cheated six times
Sharon famously announced on the CBS daytime talk show The Talk that she was leaving Ozzy upon discovering his infidelity. At the time, she said the decision to leave came after being inspired by Beyoncé’s Lemonade special, sipping lemonade in jest while discussing the split. Beyoncé’s album detailed her marital issues with Jay-Z, including his affairs.
She later told The Telegraph in a 2017 interview that Ozzy had six extramarital affairs throughout their relationship, per The Huffington Post.
“There wasn’t just one woman; there were six of them,” Sharon alleges. “Some f–king Russian teenager…then a masseuse in England…our masseuse out here [in LA]…and then our cook,” she said.“He had women in different countries. Basically, if you’re a woman giving Ozzy either a back rub or a trolley of food, God help you.”

She learned of Ozzy’s affair from an email that Ozzy mistakenly sent Sharon. Sharon believes the email was intended for one of Ozzy’s mistresses. The affair that proved to be too much for Sharon was with Ozzy’s hairstylist.
Despite such, the couple reconciled after Ozzy went public with sex addiction and committed to seeking help. The two renewed their vows in Las Vegas just months later on Mother’s Day.
In a March 2020 interview with Good Morning Britain, Sharon said she was “broken in every sense” due to Ozzy’s cheating.

In the same interview, he said the ordeal brought much embarrassment to himself and his family. “When I said, ‘Don’t get caught by your missus,’ I’m not proud of all that s—. I upset my wife and I upset my family and I made a lot of shock and shame. I love my wife, and it made me realize what a f—– idiot I’ve been,” he said.
The couple are approaching 40 years of marriage.
