A woman who claims to have been Ozzy Osbourne’s former mistress tells People Magazine, in its new issue, that the Black Sabbath star was “the greatest love of my life.” Michelle Pugh, described as a “celebrity hair colorist,” tells the magazine, “When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it.” According to an exclusive story in People, Osbourne pursued Pugh a year after she first colored the rocker’s hair in 2011. “He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshipped woman in the world,” she says in the article.

Ozzy has insisted, the article says, that, “The relationship with Pugh was a purely physical one that resulted from his sex addiction.”
According to the People piece, an unnamed representative of Ozzy, 67, has given the following statement in light of Pugh’s revelation: “He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context. He would like to apologize to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy.”
The magazine reported further that Pugh, whose age is not revealed, maintains that Ozzy was “unhappy” in his marriage to Sharon Osbourne and “consistently and willingly and generously” gave her “his love.” Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been married for 33 years.
According to People, Pugh said, “What attracted me to him? Chemistry. We just had it. It’s that indescribable thing in life, and you can’t deny it. And he didn’t.” The report insists that the two connected “on an emotional level” as well as having a physical relationship, discussing their “shared passions” for painting, history and current events. “My relationship was more with this really nice, sweet, funny and cool guy … John from England,” Pugh is quoted as saying, adding that she is no longer in touch with Osbourne, although she still loves him. “I’m not ashamed. I fell in love with a man that gave me the love I never knew I could receive,” she said.
Despite Pugh’s disclosure, the magazine reports that Osbourne told Good Morning America earlier this month that his marriage was now “back on track.” Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne first announced their split in May.
