Sharon Osbourne’s Past Health Issues Revisited: Cancer, Bulimia And More

Sharon Osbourne, who was hospitalized over the weekend due to an unspecified medical emergency, has a history of health issues.

The former “The Talk” co-host fell ill while filming an episode of her son Jack’s “Night of Terror” show in California Friday night and was rushed to Ventura County Medical Center, Today.com reported, citing Santa Paula police.

Osbourne’s representative later told the outlet that the TV personality fainted. The medical episode was “non-life threatening,” officials told NBC News.

Her son Jack took to his Instagram story Saturday to inform fans that his mother had been discharged from the hospital after being given the “all clear” by her doctors and was back home.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support,” he said. “As to what happened to my mum — I’m gonna leave it to her to share about when she is ready.”

Osbourne has battled a number of health issues over the years.

Osbourne was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002. She had surgery to treat it but later learned that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.

Osbourne underwent chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. She recovered uneventfully and was declared cancer-free.

She then founded the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California in 2004. The program supports cancer patients with at-home help, transportation, child care and other assistance.

“We have people who will pick you up, take you to treatment, take you home, watch your kids, cook for you,” Osbourne said of the program. “If they’re taken care of, you can focus on getting well.”

Ozzy Osbourne’s wife also revealed her battle with bulimia in 2004, telling the Daily Mail that she often threw up her food soon after eating it, even in front of her three children — Aimee, Kelly and Jack. She vowed at the time to seek help.

In November 2012, the British-American television personality announced that she underwent a double mastectomy due to her predisposed risk for breast cancer.

The 70-year-old star also suffered a medical scare in 2021 after she underwent an hours-long face-life procedure that left her with pain and a “horrendous” outcome.

“I had a full face-lift done in October and I looked like one of those f—— mummies that they wrap (with bandages),” Osbourne said in an April interview with Britain’s The Sunday Times. “It hurt like hell. You have no idea.”

She said her eyes didn’t look the same following the procedure.

“I looked like a f—— Cyclops,” Osbourne explained. “I’m, like, ‘All I need is a hunchback.'”

She later had the procedure redone and was much happier with the results this time around.

Months before her latest medical episode, Osbourne tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time in May. She was previously hospitalized with the virus in December 2020.
