While appearing on “The Dr. Oz Show” on Wednesday, Sharon Osbourne recalled the terrifying night in 1989 when her husband, Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, tried to strangle her during a drug binge that got out of control.

“He’d been on one of his notorious benders,” Sharon, 67, recalled of that night. “He’d been on a bender for about five days and mixing combinations of alcohol and drugs. I knew he was on the verge of something, but I didn’t think that he was going to try and strangle me.”

“However, he did try and strangle me and got me down on the ground and he was on top of me, and I really thought at one point that I was going to slip and go,” she added.

Host Dr. Mehmet Oz asked Sharon what went through her mind when her husband sat next to her and calmly told her that she had to die. She replied by saying that her thoughts were with her three children, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack.

“I was fighting back and the whole time I was thinking about my babies and I’m not going, there’s no way he’s going to take me out,” Sharon said, according to Daily Mail.

This comes one month after Sharon opened up about that night in the new documentary “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.” She explained that she managed to finally get away from her husband and push a panic button, and police soon arrived on the scene.

“I felt the calmest I had ever felt in my life. I was just peaceful. It’s not exactly one of my greatest achievements,” Ozzy confessed in the documentary.

Sharon explained to Dr. Oz that she will never know what made her husband try to strangle her that night, adding that he was blacked out, something that was common for him at the time.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “You’ve never probably lived with an alcoholic addict. They blank out, they have blackout times, and it’s like literally being asleep but you’re awake. “

“I’m not making excuses,” Sharon added. “These are facts. These are what happens to people who are so deep into their addiction. I’d seen him like sleepwalking before, but never as for this amount of time.”

Ozzy eventually woke up in Amersham jail, having no idea what had happened.

“He did what he did,” Sharon said. “He woke up. When he came out of it, he was in jail, and he was saying to everyone, ‘What am I doing here? What’s happened? What’s going on?'”

That’s when a cop informed him that he had been arrested for attempted murder, and he ended up being sentenced to six months of treatment. Miraculously, their marriage survived this ordeal, and Ozzy and Sharon have now been married for 38 years.
