Nikki Sixx shared a post on X in response to Sharon Osbourne’s recent allegations about Mötley Crüe due to a scene in their 2019 movie ‘The Dirt’ in the latest episode of ‘The Osbournes.’
In the film, Mötley Crüe meets Ozzy Osbourne by the pool during their tour together. In this scene, Ozzy does something unusual by snorting ants. Ozzy’s son, Jack, asked if this really happened, and Ozzy confirmed it. Sharon also added her thoughts to the discussion, saying:
“I was not there, thank God. I used to try and stay away from Mötley when they were with Ozzy. And I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. All I know is that I think it made their movie. And I wanna know why, now we’re on the subject, of why, when they advertise their movie on Netflix, it’s a picture of a guy imitating Ozzy. Why isn’t the ad campaign a picture of Mötley Crüe? Why is it a picture of your father?”
Jack replied to his mother with the following words:
“I know the answer to that. ‘Cause Ozzy Osbourne’s bigger than Mötley Crüe.”
In the rest of the conversation, Ozzy intervened, telling them to stop discussing the matter. Sharon expressed her view, stating that she thinks it’s an invasion of privacy. Then, she also called Sixx an ‘a**hole.’ Ozzy, however, defended Nikki by saying that he’s not an ‘a**hole.’
The Mötley Crüe bassist reposted a somewhat offensive tweet about Sharon, criticizing his stance against himself and referring to her plastic surgeries. He wrote in his reply:
“We had a lot of love and respect for Sharon. We love Ozzy. So when people comment on stuff calling her a plastic granny tranny I have it deleted. Not sure what she’s upset about now, but let’s not perpetuate her comments by posting negativity about her.”
Still, in April 2019, Jake E. Lee, who played guitar for Ozzy in 1984, disagreed with the story of Ozzy snorting ants. He said there were no ants but mentioned that Osbourne snorted a small spider. While others, like Tommy Lee and Nikki, claimed there were ants, Lee insisted there were none.
