School-Yard Fight Turns Ugly: Sharon (Not Husband Ozzy!) Osbourne Being Sued for Charm School Fight
Written by: Karen Benardello
The same girl drama that drove viewers to tune into Rock of Love: Charm School, Sharon Osbourne’s recent reality show, has landed the rocker wife into legal trouble. A former contestant has sued Osbourne for an altercation that occurred during the filming of the hit VH1 show, and was shown during a December episode.
The channel’s web site is currently showing the fight in a video titled Sharon and Megan's big fight. Contestant Megan Hauserman exchanged insults with the host, who then poured a drink on her, before fellow cast and crew members rushed in to break up the fight.
In Hauserman’s lawsuit, she claims Osbourne not only hit and scratched her, but also pulled her hair. Hauserman is seeking punitive damages over battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which she hopes to receive from a jury trial.
Hauserman’s lawyer, Warren J. Binder, thinks it will be an easy case to win, as he said in an interview: “It's pretty hard to deny what happened on the video.” Publicists for Osbourne have not said anything on her behalf, as they have not returned phone calls and e-mails from The Associated Press.
