Ozzy Photo Lawsuit: Sharon Osbourne Criticizes Photographer


During a new episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon Osbourne criticized a photographer for a lawsuit he filed over a photo of Ozzy.

Sharon and Jack Osbourne caught up and discussed various topics during the latest episode. They aimed to address and “clear up” several matters, including a lawsuit filed by rock photographer Neil Zlozower.

What Did Sharon Osbourne Say About Neil Zlozower?

The lawsuit was actually filed back in February of 2025 when Ozzy was still alive, though it’s unclear whether the Prince of Darkness shared the photos himself or if members of his management team did. The photos were shared across various social media platforms, and Zlozower claimed they didn’t ask for permission or pay for the usage [via Billboard].

The lawsuit argued that the use of the photos on social media allowed Ozzy to profit from them: “Defendant has over 12 million followers on [Facebook] and over 6 million followers on [Instagram] and over 5 million followers on [X] — all of which are monetized and provide significant financial benefits to the defendant.”

“He was from the old days, he was actually at our wedding,” Sharon said during the podcast.

“[Someone on Ozzy’s team] put up a picture of Ozzy, and it was up for about two days on Ozzy’s website, and he’s suing us for $50,000 for putting up his picture. Apparently, he’s done it to so many different artists too, and it’s like, Neil — fuck you. Fuck you and your fucking $50,000.”

Jack corrected his mother, noting that the photos were posted on social media and not Ozzy’s official website.

“I don’t even remember, but this piece of shit is suing us for $50,000,” Sharon reiterated. “Neil makes a living by suing people. He’s older now; I don’t think he takes many pictures anymore. I don’t think he works now but he’s making a living.”

Did Jack and Sharon Have Anything Else to ‘Clear Up’?

Continuing from the conversation about Zlozower, Jack asked his mother if she had anything else she needed to “clear up.”

“No,” she replied. “I think there will be in March.”

Jack asked what Sharon was referring to, and she made a face without saying anything — which seemed to be enough for him to understand what she meant.

“Oh yeah, that whole thing,” Jack acknowledged.

“Fuck you too,” Sharon said, with Jack suggesting they skip discussing whatever it is.

What Else Did Jack and Sharon Cover During the Podcast Episode?

One of the biggest topics Jack and Sharon discussed in the podcast was the return of Ozzfest. Sharon confirmed that they plan to host the first two in 2027 at Birmingham’s Villa Park — where Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s “Back to the Beginning” concert was held last year.

From there, she wants to see what the response is, which artists people would like to see on the bill, and where in America they should add dates for a proper touring edition of Ozzfest the following year.

“We’ve got to find a lot of young new talent because that’s what your dad would want,” Sharon stated.

“Well that’s what Ozzfest was all about. That second stage was the incubator,” Jack noted.
