Sharon Osbourne candidly revealed she attempted suicide after learning of her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s extramarital affair.
“He always, always had groupies, and I was so used to that,” Sharon said onstage Sunday during her “Cut the Crap” show in London, per UK 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.”
The “X Factor” alum, who shares daughters Aimee, 40, and Kelly, 39, as well as son Jack, 38, with the Black Sabbath frontman, said she felt her kids’ “older” ages would leave them able to “take care of themselves.”
“So I took an overdose and locked myself in the bedroom,” she recalled.
“The maid tried to come in to clean room and saw me.”
Pvnew has reached out to Sharon’s rep for additional comment.
Ozzy, 75, and Sharon, 71, have been married since 1982 but revealed in 2016 they were splitting in light of his four-year affair with a hairstylist.
The rock star checked into rehab for sex addiction later that year before he and Sharon reconciled.
The couple then renewed their vows on Mother’s Day in 2017 in Las Vegas.
Although the Osbournes were able to overcome their marital issues, the former “The Talk” co-host revealed in 2019 that her battle with crippling depression also made her attempt suicide three times.
“I was joking about this, but I shouldn’t, talking about my depression, and it’s like, you know, saying, ‘Oh, the first time I tried to kill myself was OK, the second — all right, the third time, oy!’” she said on the talk show.
“But it’s like, I’m still here. I still do what I do and you struggle.”
