Sharon Osbourne On Her Family’s Addictions: “We Are A Real Family”
Sharon Osbourne spoke with Reuters recently about her famous family and their new TV show, Osbournes Reloaded. When the interviewer asked about the Osbournes’ addiction problems and whether they “would prove controversial” on the new show, she got a little bit defensive.
Sharon said it was “most ridiculous question I have ever been asked in my entire career.”
“I am really angry. Do you know how many people in this country alone suffer from addiction?
“All my family are examples of being truthful about their condition and working though it and trying to better themselves,” she said.
“We are a real family and we don’t pretend to be something we are not. I have taken real offense…probably half the people watching our show have someone in their family who has a problem with alcohol and drugs. We live in the real world, and this world is tough.”
She specifically defended her son Jack, who has six years’ sobriety under his belt, saying “she viewed him as a ‘beacon of hope to every young person in this country who is struggling with addiction.’”
I have to agree with her. How many of us don’t have someone with an addiction problem in our families? The difference, though, is that my drunk Uncle Marty is just not NEARLY as interesting as one of they Osbournes.
