You know the old saying: the family that does reality television together, usually has a lot of problems. But the root of the problems started way before the hit reality show The Osbournes went on air. Back in the '70s, Sharon's father was Ozzy's manager. When Sharon and Ozzy started seeing one another, Sharon's father did everything to keep them apart -- even going so far as to turn dogs on Sharon while she was pregnant. She subsequently lost the baby, and didn't reconcile with her father until years later. Though seemingly happily married now, Sharon and Oz have had their fair share of problems, including the 1989 incident when Ozzy, drunk and high, attempted to strangle Sharon to death. The wild success of their show opened doors for both Jack and Kelly, who in their teens started using drugs and alcohol that only escalated once they were fully immersed in the Los Angeles party scene. In 2002, the Osbourne children's drug use was compounded by Sharon's cancer diagnosis. Kelly went to rehab for a painkiller addiction. Brother Jack was admitted to a psychiatric award for similar addiction problems, and later attempted suicide by taking a near-lethal cocktail of absinthe, heroin, pills and WD-40. Eldest sister Aimee is the black sheep of the family, forgoing appearances on the show for some semblance of normalcy.
