One day after a revealing interview with People magazine, rocker Ozzy Osbourne‘s former mistress Michelle Pugh is taking on one of his immediate relatives: his daughter, Kelly Osbourne.
Pugh has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Kelly, claiming that her now-deleted tweets and online comments about her four-year affair with Ozzy caused her to lose business and suffer emotional distress. She says that Ozzy’s daughter “slut-shamed” her.

When Ozzy’s affair went public, Kelly, 31, fired off a number of harsh, no-holds-barred tweets about Pugh.
Kelly also made reference to the age difference between the rocker and his ex-mistress; Ozzy is 67 and Pugh is 45.
“My father is almost 70 ever heard of elder abuse?” she tweeted.
In the lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Pugh says that she and Ozzy’s relationship started in 2013 and they secretly dated until May 2016. Pugh claims that Ozzy was the one who made all the advances towards her after he got his hair dyed.

Pugh says Osbourne’s elder-abuse accusation is incorrect and defamatory, and insists that Ozzy never once supported her financially. Her lawsuit also says Ozzy and Sharon did not break up because of their affair; instead, their issues with finances and “control” were the culprit.
Pugh revealed on Wednesday that she and Ozzy’s affair lasted over four years during his marriage to longtime wife Sharon Osbourne, and she says “he gave me the greatest love of my life.”
Ozzy says that his relationship with Pugh was the result of a “sex addiction” and he’s received “intense therapy” for it.
“He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context,” Ozzy’s rep said about the rocker in a statement. “He would like to apologize to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy.”
Ozzy moved out of the family home temporarily in May after nearly 34 years of marriage and three children with Sharon, 63.
Reports say that Sharon caught Ozzy cheating, with evidence of infidelity in his emails. Pugh claims that even though it appears the couple is trying to work things out, things are not going well between them, and Ozzy was consistently “unhappy” in his marriage.
Pugh says she is no longer in contact with Ozzy, and she misses him every day.
“I wake from my dreams, which some nights he’s in, and for a minute when I wake I’m peaceful,” she said. “Then the absence sets in. It’s horrible.”

Ozzy, for his part, seems to be committed to his marriage to Sharon.
“And we both live happily ever after? I’d like to find the person who wrote that and poke him in the eye with a burning stick. Some days it’s good, some days it’s terrible, some days you just drift apart for a while,” Ozzy explained to Good Morning America’s Jesse Palmer. “But you get back on the horse, you know.”
So far, Kelly has not commented on the accusations and lawsuit.
