Sharon Osbourne has openly admitted that she attempted suicide after learning about her husband Ozzy Osbourne's four-year affair in 2016.
The 71-year-old TV personality discovered Ozzy's infidelity with a hairdresser named Michelle Pugh after going through his emails.
Ozzy, 75, and Michelle had a secret relationship between 2012 and 2016, following which he briefly split from Sharon.
And remembering her past heartbreak, Sharon shared that his actions made her try to overdose.
Speaking on stage with her friend Jane Moore on her show Cut The C**p last week, Sharon revealed: “He always, always had groupies and I was so used to it.”

“But if he knows the person's name, where they live and where they work… it's a whole different thing because you're emotionally involved.” I took I don't know how many pills.
“I just thought, ‘My kids are older, they’re doing well and can take care of themselves.’ So I overdosed and locked myself in the bedroom. “The maid tried to come into the clean room and saw me.”
Upon discovering Ozzy's misconduct, Sharon confirmed on her talk show The Talk in 2016 that she had split from the Black Sabbath rocker, whom she married in 1982, as she thanked her fans for their support.
She said: “I'm 63 years old and I can't go on living like this… I've avoided looking at pictures or reading anything. “I know what's going on.
“I don’t need to read or see anything about it.” It’s like rubbing salt in a wound. I don't have to… He's back and now I'm out of the house.'
In 2019, Ozzy praised Sharon as a “God” for taking him back after his affair.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, he said: “Sharon and I have never been closer than we are now.” It's great. Sharon was a god.
He said, “We all make mistakes.” I'm lucky she took me back. Sometimes I sit there and ask myself, 'What the hell was I thinking?' I won't understand why it happened until the day I die.'

She continued: “I just thought, 'My kids are older, they're fine and can look after themselves.' So I overdosed and locked myself in the bedroom. “The maid tried to come into the clean room and saw me.”
Sharon claimed in a 2017 interview with the Telegraph that Ozzy cheated on her with multiple women.
She said: “There were six of them: a Russian teenager, then a masseuse in England, our masseuse out here and then our cook.”
She issued a stern warning to other women, explaining, “He had wives in different countries.” Basically, if you're a woman who gives Ozzy either a back rub or a cart full of food, God help you.
Celebrity hairdresser Michelle came into the spotlight when her affair with Ozzy came to light and she told People at the time: “When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it.”
Ozzy said it was a purely physical relationship that stemmed from his sex addiction, which is why he ended up undergoing “intensive therapy.”
