Sharon Osbourne on Turning ‘a Blind Eye’ to Ozzy Osbourne’s Affairs: ‘Wear a Condom’

'That's what comes along with being famous. It was always there,' Sharon Osbourne said of her husband Ozzy Osbourne's former indiscretions

Sharon Osbourne was willing to overlook husband Ozzy Osbourne's indiscretions under a few conditions, she revealed.

The TV personality looked back on her 41-year marriage with the heavy metal rocker in an interview published by the Daily Mail Friday and detailed how she was able to get past the groupies who swarmed him earlier in his career.

"I was so used to it because that was the world I knew," she shared. "That's what comes along with being famous. It was always there."

Asked if she was able to dismiss it, she affirmed, "Yeah. Especially if somebody is insecure or a narcissist that wants it all [as he was]. I was always like, 'Wear a condom and never ask names or addresses.' You don't want to know."

Still, she did draw the line somewhere, and the two briefly went their separate ways after Ozzy admitted he was sleeping with his hairstylist.

"When it gets to something more personal than that, then it's a problem. Then I'm not going to turn a blind eye," said Sharon.

Now, the two are taking their "til death do us part" vows seriously.

Last month, the former The Talk co-host said on an episode of the Osbournes Podcast that, 16 years after first revealing their plan to use assisted suicide in the event of a terminal illness, the couple's plans are still in place.

"Do you think that we're gonna suffer?" Sharon asked, to which her son Jack Osbourne replied, "Aren't we already all suffering?"

"Yes, we all are," the Osbournes matriarch answered, "but I don't want it to actually hurt, as well. Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So if you've got mental and physical, see ya."

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available 24 hours a day through the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. You are not alone.
