How Sharon Osbourne Found Out About Ozzy’s Alleged Affair

Just before Sharon Osbourne gave Ozzy Osbourne the boot, she reportedly snooped through his emails and found some incriminating evidence.

Rumors have been flying that Ozzy was allegedly having an affair with hairstylist Michelle Pugh. Us Weekly reports Michelle “was fired last week” from Mêche Salon in Beverly Hills amidst the controversy.

A source told the publication, “Sharon found out about the affair by searching through Ozzy's emails. She was upset that he was supporting this woman! She and [daughter] Kelly both called the salon repeatedly for about two weeks before the news broke, trying to get in touch with Michelle. They were really angry. Sharon is the reason Michelle was let go.”

Though Michelle's name has been linked to Ozzy, she was rumored to be just “one of Ozzy's mistresses.” Are there more women out there?

Sharon also reportedly hired a private eye, who helped her figure out who Ozzy was spending his money on. The insider added that “Ozzy was supporting [Michelle].”

On Tuesday, Sharon returned to “The Talk,” where she addressed the controversy, saying, "I've been avoiding looking at any pictures or reading anything. I know what's going on. I don't need to read about it and see about it because it's like putting salt in a wound. So I don't need to.”
