Sharon Osbourne has revealed that Whitney Houston once accused her of trying to sleep with her husband Bobby Brown, leaving her so flustered by the shock encounter that she gave the late singer her ring in an attempt to calm her.
The former X Factor judge, 71, said the confusion occurred during rehearsals for VH1 show, Divas Duets, in 2003, when Whitney was rehearsing, and Bobby and their daughter Bobbi Kristina, ended up sitting alongside Sharon to watch.
According to Sharon however, her apparent closeness with Bobby didn’t sit too well with Whitney when she finished her sound check on-stage.
‘I was hosting the Divas for VH1 and I was at sound check and Whitney was up on stage doing her sound check,’ Sharon recalled on her family podcast, The Osbournes.
‘Her little girl obviously liked watching [our former MTV reality show] The Osbournes and she came up and sat next to me – gorgeous little thing. And then suddenly her dad came and sat the other side of me, Bobby.’

She continued: ‘Whitney’s up there singing and she stops singing and the track is still going, and slowly the track stops. And she goes, “Mrs Osbourne, are you trying to f**k my husband?” And I’m like, “No, no please, I’m not!”‘
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 was going, “No no no, you don’t understand. I wasn’t”,’ she said.
Fortunately, her pave diamond ring saved her from further embarrassment, by distracting the singer, who demanded a closer look.
Sharon continued: ‘She goes, “Let me see that ring,” and I was like, “I’d love you 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!”‘
Hosted by Queen Latifah, the VH1 Divas Duets was a benefit concert for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. It saw musical performances from Beyoncé and Jewel, Lisa Marie Presley and Pat Benatar, The Isley Brothers and Ashanti, and Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige.

Whitney also took to the stage with her then husband Bobby and performed a medley of Something In Common and My Love.
The legendary songstress, 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 aged 48 from a drug-related accidental drowning in a bathtub.
In a fate similar to her mother’s, Bobbi was found unresponsive face down in a bathtub at her Georgia home with various drugs in her system in January 2015.
She was placed in a medically induced coma and later died on July 26.
Whitney and Bobby had a turbulent 14-year marriage, which was fueled by drug binges.
Speaking in A&E’s Biography: Bobby Brown last year, he revealed that he walked in on his partner snorting cocaine just moments before they were due to tie the knot on July 18, 1992.
He said: ‘I walked in and saw her doing a line of coke. It was a shocker to me seeing her sniff for the first time.
‘It was then I realized we had more in common than I thought. I was new to it and I guess she had been doing it for a while. That became a problem for us in our marriage.’

Bobby labelled their increasing drug dependency a ‘disease’, adding: ‘After I got married that is when I started using hard drugs. We were going through the stresses of stardom, fame, money, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
‘We started not working, getting high and it became a part of our daily routine.’
Whitney 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 170million albums worldwide.
The album also featured one of her most memorable hits – a stunning rendition of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You, which sat atop the charts for weeks and featured in The Bodyguard in 1992.
