Sharon Osbourne wins Sun libel case
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 16 January 2009
Ozzy Osbourne is not overworked by his manager (and wife) Sharon Osbourne. Ask The Sun, they’ll tell you.
Sharon took the paper to the High Court in October 2007 after it claimed that she was “driving her frail husband Ozzy Osbourne to destruction”. The Sun has now agreed to pay Osbourne undisclosed damages and her legal costs, and has also apologised for the error.
Osbourne’s lawyer John Kelly told reporters that the allegations had been “extremely distressing, hurtful and damaging” for the star, while The Sun’s lawyer, Patrick Callaghan, said that they paper apologised for all that and accepted that its claims were not true.
