VINCE NEIL Says SHARON OSBOURNE Has 'No Reason To Be Mad' At Him (Video)

September 25, 2010

MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil promoted his newly released 320-page hardcover autobiography, "Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen", during an appearance on this past Thursday's (September 23) edition of "The Joy Behar Show" on HLN (formerly Headline News). Video footage of his appearance can be viewed below.

When asked about the revelation that in the memoir Neil calls Ozzy Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon the "the most evil, shittiest woman I've ever met in my life," Vince replied, "You've gotta remember, [my] first time dealing with her was in 1984 [when MÖTLEY CRÜE toured the U.S. as the support act for] Ozzy. . . I was, I think, 22 years old, and she was not nice to MÖTLEY CRÜE. We ended up calling it the 'No Fun Tour'. We had T-shirts with a smiley face with bulletholes put in it and distributed them out to our road crew and Ozzy's road crew.

"She wouldn't let us have any fun — no girls, no booze, no nothing. So then, what's the point? . . . Then she went on to blame it on an accident that I had in '84, but she forgot to figure out that that accident was six months after the tour, so the [incident] that she was blaming it on [because of which] she was [supposedly] trying to shield me from Ozzy hadn't even happened yet.

"The thing with Ozzy, there are multiple stories about us and Ozzy and the antics we had. Obviously, [those things happened on] the days when she was not there."

"She's mad, but she really has no reason to be mad, because this was my point of view 26 years ago."

Sharon was pretty upset when she found out about what Vince wrote about her. She responded by explaining in a written statement that she was protecting Ozzy from Vince because she "didn't want [Ozzy] to end up like Razzle from HANOI ROCKS who died in a car accident because [Vince was] driving drunk, or like the two innocent people who ended up with severe brain damage and whose lives were ruined as a result of [Vince's] actions."

Sharon added, "Today I see [Vince] as a pathetic 50-year-old party boy who continues to put innocent people's lives at risk by getting behind the wheel of [his] car and driving drunk and being arrested for assaulting women."
