Last week Sharon Osbourne irately responded to an insinuation that the Osbourne family’s past, addiction problems made the family inapt for any further TV productions, akin to the MTV’s the Osbounre Show.  The stinging allegation came in the midst of announcements of a new variety show that the Osbourne family will be hosting called, Osbournes: Reloaded.  It is set to air next week and has already been met with opposition and controversy.  A Fox affiliate in Florida will not be carrying the show because of its excessive profanity and adult content.

The Osbournes are a family that is very aware of the repercussions of drug addiction and alcoholism.  Former Black Sabbath member, Ozzy Osbourne, often speaks of his excessive drug addiction and alcoholism in a negative light.  There is no doubt that he has struggled with his addiction and has attentively maintained his recovery for years.  Nonetheless, the drug addiction and alcoholism problems don’t stop there.  The Osbournes children, Jack and Kelly, have also had problems in recent years that included hospitalizations.

Still, there is no doubt that the Osbourne family continues to move towards drug addiction and alcoholism recovery treatment and that the Osbourne parent’s really care about their children.  In an interview about there kids and family’s addiction and alcoholism, Sharon said: “No. … I can’t say that I’m angry — well, I am angry. I am angry, I am let down, I feel I’ve failed, again, he’s failed again. It’s just happened again, and I just can’t take it, can’t take it.”  With this quote it is clear to see why mother Sharon Osbourne was so emotional in defending her family’s past, addiction problems—clearly, she cares.
