Sharon Osbourne responds to backlash over plans to recreate her late husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, using an AI avatar. Multiple outlets report that Sharon and her son Jack have said the project is meant to be tasteful and creative, and that it is intended to honor Ozzy’s legacy rather than exploit it for profit. In her comments, Sharon rejects characterizations that the effort is a “cash grab,” saying she does not need money and that the avatar would be used to preserve Ozzy’s presence for future audiences. Several reports describe Sharon arguing that the project reflects long-term family intentions, including the idea that it is “for our grandkids.” The outlets also note that the Osbournes announced the development earlier this year, and that their public statements focus on whether the AI recreation is respectful. While critics have framed the initiative as commercial opportunism, Sharon maintains that the planned AI Ozzy avatar would be presented in a considered way and should be viewed as a legacy project. The reports do not provide details on release timelines or specific production partners.
