Sharon Osbourne once revealed that while appearing on The X Factor, she hilariously yelled a pen at a pensioner who had abused her husband Ozzy.
Sharon Osbourne once declared war on a “pensioner” who made the decision to have a go at her late husband, Ozzy. Sharon, 72, has never been one to mince her words and during an interview about her return to The X Factor, the music manager opened up about the interaction with the man who bravely attempted to say negative things about her husband Ozzy.
Sharon abruptly left the showbiz industry in 2013 when she made a shock return to the talent show six years later. However, she never held back when talking about a contestant in the typical Mrs. O way.
Speaking on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man about the incident, the fiery redhead exclaimed: “I did too!” when asked if it was true she’d launched a pen at the contestant. “And it should have been a knife, really!” she went on to add. It comes after Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears at Ozzy’s funeral in heartbreaking scenes.

When asked why she had launched the pen, Sharon responded, “This old bloke comes in and starts slagging my old man, so I’m like, here, what can I throw at you? ” I then yelled “You can f**k off,” and I threw a pen at him. You little f***er”!
But she reacted furiously when Alan inquired why someone would disrespect Ozzy in front of Sharon, saying, “They know what they’re going to get.” He must be! I’m almost pension age, so f**k him!”
The clip, which has since been reappeared on TikTok, has received 58, 000 views and was filled with comments, with many people laughing at Sharon’s quick wit. “Sharon Osbourne,” What a woman, one said.
A second went on to write: “Absolute brilliance, love Sharon.” “I want their marriage when I’m older and I won’t settle for less,” said another. The resurfacing of the clip comes just hours after Sharon sadly buried Ozzy. In keeping with the rockstar’s wishes, he was buried in the grounds of his sprawling family home, where he shared many happy memories with Sharon, and where he spent his final weeks.
The funeral followed an emotionally-charged day in Birmingham, that saw the Prince of Darkness made one final trip through his home city. Thousands of fans lined the streets to pay their respects and say goodbye as a procession led by Ozzy’s hearse travelled from the Aston Villa football ground through the city centre.
In moving scenes, the procession stopped outside the Black Sabbath bridge, where the frontman’s wife and children stepped out of their cars to lay down roses wrapped in black paper among the sea of tributes left by fans.
Sharon, Ozzy’s widow, witnessed the outpouring of love for her husband for the first time since his passing. Children Jack, Kelly, and Aimee comforted Sharon as she shed tears. For the family moment, Sharon and Ozzy’s children were also nearby.
Ozzy’s family announced last week that he had passed away at the age of 76, just days after he performed at his final Back to the Beginning concert in his beloved hometown of Birmingham. Kelly and Sharon Osbourne’s families announced in a statement that “we have to announce the passing of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne this morning.
He was surrounded by love and his family. At this time, we ask that everyone respects our family’s privacy. “Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.
