    He’s like the only major rock star from the 60s-80s period I can think of who I haven’t heard about sexually harassing or assaulting someone at some point

    e; I stand corrected

    The couple used to physically fight regularly and, according to Osbourne, they would “beat the shit out of each other.” She has described herself as “a beaten woman” when she was at the hands of husband Ozzy where he once knocked out her front teeth. She once retaliated by throwing a full bottle of scotch at his head.

      The thing with ozzy is that all his demons were very firmly in his past and he owned up and fixed it for the most part. He used to be a drug addled asshole but he didn’t remain so

        How much has society fucked me when my first thought was “well at least it was mutual abuse and he didn’t rape a minor”.

        No. None of it is okay, what the fuck brain.

          It may not be ok, but certainly better than rape. They may have passed on another form of trauma to their kids like every generation before and it may have taken quite a long time but they did finally make things and each other better. Which I think is a good relationship in my book.

          From my understanding anyway. Not gonna proclaim to be some Ozzy Osbourne biographer or something.

      I think he was assaulted as a youth so he knew the damage and trauma that can cause. I doubt he would wish those experiences on anyone.

      Lemmy, Eddie Van Halen, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio off the top of my head.

      Edit: Oh and Bruce Dickinson as far as I know has also always been a standup guy.
