Growing up on TV 'negatively affected' rock star's kids - 'It was heavy'

After some time away from the reality TV world, The Osbourne family is back with their own YouTube channel. Sharon, Ozzy, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne are reflecting on their younger years spent on TV this Spring. Sharon and Ozzy’s kids are all grown up nowadays and have children of their own. They’re undecided on whether a life in the spotlight will be the way for their families in the future.

Throwing it back over 20 years, Sharon, Ozzy, Jack, Kelly Osbourne, and all the family’s pets allowed cameras into their home. The Osbournes is an iconic show when it comes to reality TV and it was one of the first of its kind. Nowadays, fans are fixated on The Kardashians but more famous families had their time of entertaining fans long before Kris, Kim, Khloe, and co came along.

Jack Osbourne’s take on reality TV

The Osbournes podcast’s May 14 episode saw the family reflecting on their family’s TV show.

They discussed the changes of the reality TV world since their 2002 days of fame, and talked about the “biggest challenges they faced working in TV post-Osbournes.”

Ozzy said his favorite thing about the show was “the end,” before Jack adds: “The payday was alright.” Sharon described the show as an “amazing opportunity.”

Kelly also touched on how shows are now more scripted and have “produced moments.”

Osbournes talk ‘most challenging moment’

The Osbournes wrapped up in 2005, and following the show, Kelly said she had a hard time with the public being unable to escape the idea of how she’s “not a little girl anymore.”

She said: “When people first get to know you as becoming famous that’s how they always see you. the amount of people that I have to be like I’m a 40-year-old woman, I’m not a kid.”

Sharon agreed her daughter has a “wild child,” before Kelly added how she’s now a “wild woman.”

Kelly said the show “affected” her in “many positive ways” but there were also “many negatives” including how she “always thought she wasn’t enough.”

She added: “Rewatching the show now, I realize I was enough.”

Jack reflected on his reality TV fame, saying how he believes the “positives outweigh the negatives.”

However, he said: “The negatives were significant.”

“They were heavy. They were few in number but heavy in weight.”

Jack added how he’s “unsure” whether he’d allow his children to be on a reality TV show, before Kelly added she didn’t think he’d be able to stop his daughter, Andy Rose, “going into the industry.”
