Did Ozzy Osbourne's widow Sharon storm off "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" or "Jimmy Fallon's show" over remarks about Charlie Kirk? No, that's not true: Osbourne did not appear on either show since the death of Charlie Kirk. The story originated on a Vietnamese clickbait website that mixed up late-night show TV hosts.
It appeared as an article (archived here) published by a website named "The Beatles Music" on September 19, 2025 under a bizarrely long headline that referenced both Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel:
SHARON OSBOURNE STORMS OFF FALLON'S SHOW -- THE MOMENT THAT SHOOK LATE NIGHT It was meant to be another late-night chat. Sharon Osbourne, still mourning Ozzy, took her seat on Jimmy Kimmel Live! But in 2025, nothing feels ordinary. The shadow of Charlie Kirk's assassination hung over every conversation.
It opened:
It was supposed to be another easy night on late television. Sharon Osbourne, still raw from the passing of her husband, Ozzy, arrived at the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to speak about legacy, music, and the strange task of carrying on after losing a soulmate. The lights came up, the audience applauded, and for a few moments, everything felt ordinary. But in 2025, very little feels ordinary anymore. The shadow of Charlie Kirk's assassination has hovered over conversations everywhere, a reminder of grief that refuses to fade.
What began as small talk quickly veered into dangerous territory. Jimmy Kimmel, known for sharp wit and boundary-pushing jokes, attempted to weave Kirk's assassination into a punchline while referencing Ozzy's legacy. The audience chuckled nervously, laughter laced with hesitation. Sharon did not laugh.
Her expression hardened. Her silence stretched. And then, in a voice trembling with both sorrow and fury, she spoke.
💬 "When a man is murdered, that's not comedy. That's a family destroyed. That's humanity."
The words cut through the studio like a blade. The laughter stopped instantly. Kimmel froze, visibly taken aback. Sharon's voice quivered, but her eyes never wavered. The grief of a widow merged with the moral clarity of someone unwilling to let loss be trivialized.
Then, without another word, she rose from her chair. The cameras caught every step as she walked off set, leaving the host silent before millions of viewers. For a moment, the studio seemed to hold its breath. The image of Sharon Osbourne storming away -- head high, stride firm -- would soon reverberate across the internet.
Lead Stories reviewed the recent episodes lists of both "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (archived here) and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" (archived here) and Sharon Osbourne didn't appear on either one since the death of Charlie Kirk. It would be difficult for her to appear on Kimmel's show in any case since it was "suspended indefinitely" on September 18, 2025 according to The Associated Press (archived here) and the last episode listed on ABC's website was the one for September 17, 2025 (archived here).
The story used the following thumbnail image, which was also used in a Facebook post (archived here) on a Facebook page named "Timeless Rock Vibes" to promote the story:
