"I just can’t seem to gain any weight because I think I went too far.”

From 2002–2005, The Osbournes on MTV showed the life of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon Osbourne, and their family. Arguably the first reality television family (sorry, Kardashians!), their show skyrocketed the family to superstardom in the public eye.
Since the show went off the air, many who aren't avid social media users might be wondering where Sharon Osbourne is now and whether the Osbourne family will ever return to reality TV. Here's an update!
What is Sharon Osbourne doing now?
Although Sharon and her family are no longer part of a reality TV series, they remain quite active on social media and continue to dabble in the entertainment industry from time to time. In September 2022, the docuseries Sharon Osbourne: To Hell & Back was released. This four-part series explored her trials and tribulations, including her exit from CBS's The Talk. In a clip aired to Fox viewers on Sept. 7, 2022, Sharon discussed how the "woke mob" harassed not only her but also her husband.
"I had to handle these nutcases threatening me, saying they were going to come in the night, cut my throat, cut my husband's throat, cut my animals up. I had some people who supported me so much, and they started to get harassed, and they started on Ozzy…" she said.
The four-part docuseries also included appearances from Ozzy and her children Jack and Kelly.
In addition to Sharon's docuseries, the whole family made a return to television in 2023. The Osbournes, who hail from the United Kingdom, told The Guardian in August 2022 that they would move back to their home country for the 10-part series called Home to Roost.
"America has changed so drastically," Ozzy said. "Everything's f--king ridiculous there."
He added, "I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert…It's f--king crazy."
Ozzy concluded, "And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f--king Forest Lawn. I’m English. I want to be back."
Home to Roost will cover many of the gaps in the Osbourne family's recent history, such as Sharon's 70th birthday, Kelly's pregnancy and first child, and Ozzy's "major operation" that he underwent on June 13, 2022, as revealed by Sharon to E! News. While Sharon did not share what the surgery was for, Ozzy was previously diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Although Home to Roost does not have a set release date yet, a press release from the BBC describes the project as "a genuine portrait, showing Sharon and Ozzy as they face up to illness and the challenges of getting older, but with the usual Osbourne eccentricities, humor, warmth and love."
Fans will have to keep an eye out!
In the meantime, Sharon is staying busy while focusing on her health. During an April 2024 interview on Howie Mandel's podcast, she admitted that she thinks she "went too far" with her use of the weight loss drug Ozempic. “I can’t put on weight now, and I don’t know what it’s done to my metabolism, but I just can’t seem to gain any weight because I think I went too far.”
Fans noticed the weight loss and commented on one of her Instagram posts in August 2024, asking, "Omg what’s happened to you Sharon?" In another post, Sharon expressed optimism about her wellness journey, writing that she’s "building back my overall strength and muscle tone post rapid weight loss"
