Sharon Osbourne has revealed that Whitney Houston once accused her of trying to sleep with her husband Bobby Brown, leaving her so confused by the shocking encounter that she gave the late singer her ring in an attempt to calm her down.
The formerfinally sat down next to Sharon to watch.
However, according to Sharon, her apparent bond with Bobby didn’t sit too well with Whitney as she wrapped up her sound check on stage.
“I was hosting the Divas for VH1 and I was at sound check and Whitney was on stage for her sound check,” Sharon recalled on her family podcast, The Osbournes.
‘Her little girl obviously loved watching The Osbournes (our former MTV reality show) and she came over and sat next to me – beautiful little thing. And then suddenly her father sat on the other side of me, Bobby.’

She continued, “Whitney is there singing and she stops singing and the song is still going, and slowly the song stops. And she says, “Mrs. Osbourne, are you trying to fuck my husband?” And I’m like, “No, no please, I’m not doing that!”‘
Sharon, who had been married to Ozzy Osbourne for 21 years at the time, jumped out of her seat in panic and ran down the aisle, professing her innocence.
‘I said, “No no no, you don’t understand. That wasn’t me,” she said.
Luckily, her diamond ring saved her from further embarrassment, by distracting the singer, who demanded a closer look.
Sharon continued: ‘She said, ‘Let me see that ring,’ and I thought, ‘I’d like to have it.’
“I gave her the ring, threw it at her and said, ‘I promise you I’m not interested in your husband, I’m married!’
The VH1 Divas Duets, hosted by Queen Latifah, was a benefit concert for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. There were musical performances by Beyoncé and Jewel, Lisa Marie Presley and Pat Benatar, The Isley Brothers and Ashanti, and Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige.

Whitney also took the stage with her then-husband Bobby and sang a medley of Something In Common and My Love.
The legendary singer, nicknamed ‘The Voice’, was married to singer-songwriter Bobby, 54, from 1992 until their divorce in 2007. Together they shared daughter Bobbi Kristina.
Whitney was found dead in February 2012 at the age of 48 after a drug-related accidental drowning in a bathtub.
In a fate similar to that of her mother, Bobbi was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Georgia home in January 2015 with several medications in her system.
She was placed in a medically induced coma and later died on July 26.
Whitney and Bobby had a turbulent fourteen-year marriage, fueled by drug addiction.
In A&E’s Biography: Bobby Brown last year, he revealed that he walked in on his partner snorting cocaine just before they were to tie the knot on July 18, 1992.
He said: ‘I walked in and saw her drinking a line of coke. It was a shock to me to see her snort for the first time.
‘Then I realized we had more in common than I thought. I was new and I think she had been doing it for a while. That became a problem for us in our marriage.”

Bobby labeled their increasing drug addiction as a “disease,” adding, “After I got married, I started using hard drugs. We went through the stress of stardom, fame, money, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
“We stopped working, got high and it became part of our daily routine.”
Whitney has won two Emmys, 30 Billboard Music Awards and 22 American Music Awards. Her 1985 album Whitney was the first album by a woman to ever debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Charts. She has sold more than 170 million albums worldwide.
The album also included one of her most memorable hits: a stunning rendition of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You, which topped the charts for weeks and was featured in 1992’s The Bodyguard.
