Sharon Osbourne beat up reality star to defend Ozzy
A blazing throwback clip of Sharon Osbourne defending her husband Ozzy has gone viral following the rock legend's death.
Supporters have applauded Sharon's devotion as, in the footage, the mother of three fires back at Megan Hauserman, who was then appearing on Rock of Love: Charm School, after she had mocked Ozzy.
Megan had declared: "The only thing you've managed to do as a celebrity is to watch your husband's brain turn into a vegetable."
However, Sharon addressed the crowd saying: "I feel so sorry for her," before getting to her feet, casually taking a gulp from her mug - and then flinging the remaining liquid straight into Megan's face.
The dramatic confrontation occurred during the 2008 run of Sharon's programme, which featured participants battling to master proper manners in a bid to claim $100,000 (£73,000), reports the Mirror.
Megan, who worked as a model and performer, was booted out in the fourth episode of her series, just after her bust-up with Sharon, who was then 56 and already a familiar face across music and television in America and Britain.
She declared to her viewers: "They can f*** with me... I don't give a sh** - but not my family."
Security rushed onto the set as the atmosphere became heated on the VH1 show. After the explosive row, Megan took legal action against Sharon for assault and causing distress, whilst Sharon hit back with her own lawsuit, claiming the reality personality had accepted the risks and violated their television contract by pursuing legal action.
The dispute was quietly resolved in 2011 for an undisclosed six-figure amount. Since then, 43 year old Megan has been the star of her own notorious, short-lived dating show: Megan Wants a Millionaire. The programme was cancelled during its first - and only - season, with just three episodes broadcast in 2009.
This week, as the Rock of Love: Charm School clip resurfaced online, social media users took a swipe at Megan. They also praised Sharon's devotion, with one user declaring: "The way she loved Ozzy is something not common... She really, REALLY loved her husband."
Another commented: "Ozzy was so blessed to have someone as loving as she was."
An additional fan wrote: "Ozzy was the king of metal, but she was the queen. Never attack royalty."
Another remark states: "GO Sharon. She doesn't play when it comes to her man."
Music manager Sharon, aged 72, expressed her sorrow this week over Ozzy's passing. The television personality, who has served as a judge on The X Factor, said in a family statement: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
Sharon married Ozzy in Hawaii, US, in July 1982 and they had three children together; Jack, Kelly, Aimee, with the music icon. Their humorous reality TV series, The Osbournes, was a massive success and ran for three seasons from 2002 to 2005.
Ozzy passed away on Tuesday "surrounded by love" after a battle with Parkinson's disease.

Alice Cooper praises Ozzy Osbourne as rock-and-roll ‘lifer'
The 77-year-old US singer spoke about Osbourne at a launch event for the original Alice Cooper band's first album in more than 50 years, The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, at London's Union Chapel. He said: 'Ozzy was like us, he was a lifer, we call certain people in this business lifers, people who are going to do it until they can't any more. 'Pete Townshend, The Beatles and the (Rolling) Stones, those guys are still going because it's their life, it's not financial, it's because it's what we love doing, and Bob Dylan still does 150 shows a year. 'We got into this thing in high school with the attitude that we were going to do this until we couldn't do it any more. 'Ozzy finally came to the end of that, and he was a lifer, he would've gone on as long as he could go, and you've got to give him all the credit in the world, he was physically in not good shape, and he still did it.' Osbourne, who fronted Black Sabbath on classic tracks such as Paranoid, Iron Man and War Pigs, and also had a successful solo career, died on Tuesday 'surrounded by love', after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. His death came just weeks after the singer, who is often cited as inventing heavy metal with Black Sabbath, performed his last gig with the band at Villa Park in their home city of Birmingham. Cooper added: 'The other day somebody asked me about it, and I said, 'well, a giant boulder has crashed, but rock will roll on'.' Speaking about his own band, the School's Out singer hinted that they could reunite on stage at his billed solo concert at London's The O2 on Friday. He teased: 'I don't know if you're going to be there tomorrow night, but you never know what's going to happen.' Cooper went on to say that the reunion album may not be the band's last. He added: 'Someone said to me the other day, 'you know on a one-off project like this', I said, 'woah woah, what do you mean on a one-off project? Who says this is a one-off project?'. 'We're having a really good time, we're really enjoying the process, and we've really enjoyed the reception for the record.' Forming as Alice Cooper in 1968, the band went on to release seven studio albums between 1969 and 1973, which featured tracks such as UK number one single School's Out, and top 10 hits such as Elected, Hello Hurray and No More Mr Nice Guy. After the band played their last show in 1974, singer Cooper, formerly named Vincent Furnier, took on the name for his solo work, which saw him move to a heavy metal sound as opposed to the original band's hard rock. The Revenge Of Alice Cooper is released on Friday.
