The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Sharon Osbourne

The relationship between Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne has certainly had its difficult moments, but overall, the marriage has been one of the brightest spots in her life. Therefore, it is especially terrible that her own family members attempted to sabotage it shortly after the couple wed in 1982.

Sharon's father, Don Arden, and her brother, David, were not pleased with the fact that she had taken over as manager for the talented musician and took shocking steps to get him back on their side. In "Sharon Osbourne Extreme: My Autobiography," she revealed the terrible details and said, "So they take Ozzy to lunch, and proceed to tell him that I'm insane, that I am the reason ELO [rock band Electric Light Orchestra] left my father, but that Ozzy doesn't have to worry because they can get the marriage annulled on the grounds of my insanity, and in the meantime, they can put him into hiding."

Thankfully, Ozzy did not fall for the ploy and told his wife something along the lines of, "Bloody hell Sharon, your dad's mental" (per The Guardian). Arden had failed to separate Sharon from Ozzy but succeeded in doing significant damage to his relationship with this daughter.
