Yes, it's extreme...
Whoa, talk about going off the rails of the crazy train! This book is a page-turner for sure and very well written, but towards the end, I kind of lost respect for Sharon because she kept excusing Ozzy’s abuse—and it is “extreme”… he strangled her, beat her, r*ped her, cheated on her, repeatedly lied to her, berated her in public (and in front of friends and colleagues), and threw her under the bus in legal situations. She says that she was also physically abusive to him, like it’s nothing. She did say that because her father was also very violent to her, she was “used to it” but that doesn’t make it okay to stick around after you’ve become more worldly and recognize what’s happening, especially when there are young children involved. She doesn’t mention whether he beat the kids too, but at the very least it must have been traumatizing for them to live with that for years on end. She glosses over this in the book. At one point, Sharon says she couldn’t leave because she didn’t have any money and she had no bank account (due to her father’s law and tax troubles; she was a partner in his business) but then she started managing other bands and had a lot of money of her own—and all the while, Ozzy was relentlessly accusing her of cheating on him when she was away working—but she still didn’t leave. He eventually got her to stop her outside work and keep managing him exclusively. What’s more, she refused to press charges after he literally tried to murder her. She mentions several times in the book how much she loves him but doesn’t give many examples of good reasons why. She put him in rehab several times but often let him check out early and go back to his old ways—lots of enabling here.There were some other things I didn’t like about this book (and also Ozzy’s autobiography)—the hypocrisy involving animal abuse (they adore their dogs but think it’s hilarious to bite the heads off of live doves), and the fact that both of them love to defecate and urinate on other people’s things as a joke or for revenge (hmm, maybe they are actually meant to be together forever).This book was published in 2005 and ends on a hopeful note, but by now, we all know that Ozzy cheated again (in 2016, with his hairdresser). All in all, Sharon Osbourne: Extreme left a bad taste in my mouth.
