In 2019, Osbourne appeared on the British panel show Would I Lie to You? in which guests make statements about themselves and fellow panellists guess whether or not the statements are true. She claimed that during a house fire she made her assistant go back into the house to save pieces of art. She also claimed that she ripped an oxygen mask off the assistant and gave it to her dog. She then proceeded to fire him when he did not find the situation funny, believing he might have lung damage from smoke inhalation, saying "he showed absolutely no sense of humour" during the fire. After the usual deliberations by fellow panellists, she confirmed the incident to be true.

when i was a kid, i used to sometimes watch that reality show about the osbournes. where ozzy wandered around and stared off into space like a zombie, the kids were learning to leverage their celebrity-adjacence into notoriety, and sharon "ran" the household by sharply flitting about with all the intensity of someone with de facto conservatorship over a wealthy child. at first glance i was like, "wow she's smart." at second glance she came off as an opportunistic predator.

no part of that revelation surprises me.

I'd only known her from America's Got Talent, but the more I skim her wikipedia page the more she sounds like a cartoon rich English person

In 2004, Osbourne's home in Jordans, Buckinghamshire, was burgled by a man who stole gems worth £2 million. The burglar managed to get away with the gems despite being put in a headlock by Ozzy. Items taken during the burglary included wedding rings, an engagement ring, pearl and diamond necklaces, a large 52 carat (10g) sapphire ring and two pairs of diamond earrings. After the incident, Osbourne appeared on Crimewatch and offered a reward of £100,000 for the return of her valuable jewellery

Osbourne has sent her son's or daughter's feces in Tiffany boxes on more than one occasion to people she felt had unreasonably criticised her or her family. When a journalist criticised her teenage children, Osbourne sent a box of excrement with a note saying, "I heard you've got an eating disorder. Eat this."
