On "The Osbournes," the iconic singer was frequently seen working out on a treadmill. However, he informed The Daily Record in 2009 that it was all a ruse. "As Ozzy would tell you, Ozzy was stoned the entire three years we were filming," Sharon explained. He hadn't been sober for a day. "Sharon doesn't know it but I had at least four bottles of vodka in her refrigerator when she kicked me out," he said. Osbourne also admitted to having used marijuana during his time with the band. "I smoked a joint with Tony Iommi once," he said. "We got along really well." However, he denied being addicted to drugs or drinking excessively during The Osbournes' production. "People say all kinds of things about what goes on behind closed doors," he said. "But if anything, the show was too secretive. It was like living inside a movie studio." He added: "Sharon didn't want anyone to see us fight. Or say mean things to one another. She didn't want any bad feelings between us. So we kept everything hidden from view." Osbourne also criticized his wife for being overbearing and wanting complete control over his life while they were married. "If someone gave me orders, I'd have to follow them!" he exclaimed. "That's not how I run my life or my business."
