Looking Back On Sharon Osbourne’s On‑Screen Altercation With Reality Star Defending Ozzy

by Ruth A

Published July 25, 2025

Sharon Osbourne’s on-screen clash with a reality star remains one of the most infamous moments in reality TV. The 2008 Rock of Love: Charm School reunion took a dramatic turn when Osbourne reportedly attacked contestant Megan Hauserman after a heated exchange. The incident erupted after Hauserman insulted Osbourne’s husband, Ozzy, during the taping.

The confrontation caused immediate outrage. Osbourne rushed across the stage, grabbed Hauserman by the hair, and scratched her before security could step in. The moment became one of the most widely reported controversies in her TV career and sparked debate about what goes too far on reality television.

According to a report from Tyla, Hauserman called Ozzy “brain dead” during the taping, prompting Osbourne’s reaction. Witnesses said she launched across the stage, grabbed the contestant’s hair, and scratched her multiple times. Hauserman later visited a hospital, claiming she suffered injuries.

The police treated the case as a minor battery. Although criminal charges weren’t filed, Hauserman sued Osbourne. In 2011, the two sides reached a private settlement. The incident still resonates with fans and critics alike, showing how volatile the mix of personal insult and live television can be.

Despite the backlash, Osbourne remained a prominent TV figure. She returned to judging talent shows, served on talk panels, and kept her outspoken style. Yet, the Sharon Osbourne attacking reality star incident stands as a defining moment that followed her for years.
