All About Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's Daughter, Aimee Osbourne (Including Why She Opted Out of Their Family Reality Show)
Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne's older daughter Aimee Osbourne was born in 1983
She chose not to appear on their MTV show The Osbournes
Aimee has been making music under the name ARO since 2015Unlike her larger-than-life parents, Aimee Osbourne has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne welcomed their older daughter, Aimee, in 1983. But fans didn't see her on their hit MTV reality series, The Osbournes, as she moved out of the home when she was 16 years old.
'She couldn't live in our house because we were filming and it drove her insane,' Sharon revealed during a June 2018 episode of The Talk. 'She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea. It was appalling to her.'
Aimee, whose younger siblings are Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne, echoed those sentiments in a September 2015 interview with The Independent, saying, 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?"
Although she opted out of reality TV stardom, Aimee shares her late father's love of music. She's been releasing songs under the name ARO since 2015. In July 2025, Aimee made a rare public appearance at Ozzy's funeral.
Here's everything to know about Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne's eldest daughter, Aimee Osbourne, and her relationship with the reality TV stars.
She was born in London
Aimee Rachel Osbourne was born in London on Sept. 2, 1983. Like the rest of her family, she grew up both in the English countryside and in California.
She told The Independent that their home life was always a little wild, and described herself as 'the one that had to be in control a lot of the time.'
"We travelled a lot, went on tour with my dad a lot,' Aimee said. 'But there was never a moment when any of us didn't feel loved, or taken care of."
She left home when she was 16
When Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack began filming The Osbournes, Aimee, then 16, declined to appear on the show and moved out of the home.
'I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and ... I always really valued my privacy within that family," she said during an August 2020 interview on Q1043 New York. Aimee added that she wanted to give herself 'a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager' on TV.
She continued, 'It didn't really line up with what I saw my future as."
During a 2018 episode of The Talk, Sharon revealed how difficult that time was, saying that she regretted 'every day' that her daughter left home.
She's the lead singer of ARO
Like her father, Aimee is also a musician. She has been releasing music under the name ARO (her initials) since 2015.
However, Aimee previously didn't tell anyone that she liked music, as she didn't want to be compared to Ozzy.
'I kept it to myself 'cause you never want it known that you want to do what your parents do,' she said in a January 2021 interview with Cleveland.com.
Her first single, 'Raining Gold,' was inspired by growing up in the spotlight.
"I wanted the song to touch on how overwhelming and isolating it feels to be constantly misunderstood and the importance of choosing to break free from that and just believing in yourself," the singer said in a March 2015 interview with Rolling Stone. "It's so valuable to always try and put yourself in someone else's shoes. I hope this song reminds people of that."
Aimee released her debut album, Vacare Adamaré, in 2020.
In addition to her music, she also played Raquelle in MTV's 2003 musical adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She told reporters at the time that she didn't have 'huge intentions' to be an actress and was 'casually asked" to be in the production.
"It was a great experience and I'm glad I did it," she added.
She's "really different" from her siblings
When it comes to her relationship with her siblings, Aimee told The Independent in 2015 that there isn't 'an ease' between them, rather, 'there is an acceptance.'
Kelly has also spoken out about her relationship with her older sister, describing them as 'really different' from one another.
'We don't talk,' she said during a May 2021 interview on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast. 'She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her."
She made a rare public appearance for Ozzy's funeral in 2025
Following Ozzy's death on July 22, Aimee made a rare appearance to attend her father's funeral procession in his hometown of Birmingham, England. She walked alongside her mom and siblings as fans crowded the streets to say goodbye to the Prince of Darkness.
Rolling Stone Australia reported in July 2025 that Aimee would appear in a documentary about her father titled No Escape From Now. The film reportedly follows the heavy metal legend's health issues and journey to 'take the stage for one final performance.'
"Filming with him, Sharon, Aimee, Kelly and Jack for the last three and a half years will always be a cherished and remarkable experience,' the documentary's creative team said in a statement. 'Largely because we got to regularly witness Ozzy's indomitable spirit, his mischievous, irresistible grin and his masterful display of unique one-liners.'
No Escape From Now is set to release in late 2025.

Matilda Lutz Wields the Sword in New RED SONJA Footage, Chainmail Bikini and All — GeekTyrant
The legendary sword-wielding warrior Red Sonja is hoping to make a fierce comeback with a new movie. New behind the scenes footage and an image from the upcoming film give fans another look at Matilda Lutz in action, fully suited in the character's iconic chainmail bikini. The movie looks like it'll give us some brutal fights, striking imagery, and a reimagining of the heroine that I hope ends up being good. This reboot is shaping up to be a gritty and stylized project. The official Red Sonja Instagram account dropped an image, showing Lutz in the unmistakable chainmail, accompanied by the caption: '@matildalutz and the Iconic Chainmail bikini!!! Red Sonja out Aug 13.' In a previous interview with USA Today, Lutz revealed the deeper narrative meaning behind the armor saying it was 'used as an element of power that the emperor has over her … But then she owns it.' This version of Red Sonja draws from the Dynamite Entertainment comics rather than Marvel's original take, pushing the character in a more self-empowered and less objectified direction. Lutz emphasized this shift saying it's 'a completely different story' and that it moves away from the 'male gaze' of the original comic interpretations.' The new footage, shared by both @goldwynfilms and the film's official Instagram, teases gritty battles and sweeping vistas, all leading up to a nationwide One Night Only theatrical event. 'Be the first to see RED SONJA at our One Night Only theatrical event! Come see the she-devil on the big screen on August 13 nationwide. In the meantime, check out some behind the scenes action.' The teaser trailer already set the tone, introducing the world of the film with this official synopsis: 'Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Dragan The Magnificent and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.' Directed by M. J. Bassett and rated R for 'strong/bloody violence,' Red Sonja will hit U.S. theaters on August 13, 2025, followed by a digital release likely arriving August 29.

Trump Deletes and Reposts Tweet About Sydney Sweeney Several Times
President Donald Trump has been very active on Truth Social this morning, firing off posts about everything from last week's terrible jobs report to India's oil imports. But the president's post about Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift had to be deleted and reposted several times to correct spelling errors on Monday. And it speaks to the chaos going on behind the scenes as the president posts to social media when he's supposed to be running the country. Sweeney is currently at the center of an online debate about an ad for clothing company American Eagle. The actress talks about genetics in an ad that ends with a homophone-based joke about jeans and genes. Some people see the ad as a dog whistle to racists (including many of the racists themselves), and Trump was first asked about it on Sunday, when he learned that Sweeney is a registered Republican. The president seemed excited by the fact that a popular actress might be on his team politically and really leaned into it Monday morning with a whiny, error-riddled post that went in a few different directions on 'wokeness.' As you can see, Trump's first stab at the post about Sweeney misspelled her name as 'Sidney,' says 'flying of the shelves' rather than off the shelves, and spells the beer as Bud Lite rather than Bud Light. Miller is the brand that uses 'Lite' rather than Light. Trump deleted and reposted the screed, fixing some of the errors and expanding the section about Taylor Swift, who he claimed was booed at the Super Bowl and 'became NO LONGER HOT.' Swift was indeed booed by some people at the Super Bowl because she was there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Swift was reportedly booed by Philadelphia Eagles fans, not because the billionaire singer has become unpopular. Trump also added a line, as you can see below, reading 'Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.' The president added another line to his second post that's become extremely common in recent months: 'Thank you for your attention to this matter.' But the president deleted his post yet again, fixing his sentence about American Eagle jeans 'flying of the shelves,' without fixing the part about Bud 'Lite.' One of the questions that people often have about Trump's social media presence is how frequently he's the person actually typing it out. Trump has famously never used a computer but has previously confirmed that he's the one typing on his phone to send out many of his posts. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said that he's often dictating tweets during the day and it's all his own typing at night after 7:00 p.m. But it's unclear whether he's stuck to that schedule. The pro-Trump documentary series Art of the Surge showed what it was like tweeting with Trump during a speech from Kamala Harris in the 2024 campaign, and it really appeared to be a team process. Trump would dictate to the assistant sitting next to him, but plenty of other people in the room contributed ideas and suggested their own versions of talking points to people who ran other accounts associated with Trump's campaign. It wasn't all celebrity nonsense on Monday morning. Trump also tried to address the fact that he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics last week after the agency reported weak job creation numbers and revised down previous months. 'Last weeks Job's Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged,' Trump wrote in a transparent lie. 'That's why, in both cases, there was massive, record setting revisions, in favor of the Radical Left Democrats. Those big adjustments were made to cover up, and level out, the FAKE political numbers that were CONCOCTED in order to make a great Republican Success look less stellar!!! I will pick an exceptional replacement. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!' Trump fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from her nonpartisan role on Friday, and there's absolutely no evidence she did anything wrong. In fact, more than 2,000 people work at the BLS, according to CNN, and it would have been impossible for McEntarfer to significantly alter the data without the coordination of dozens, if not hundreds, of accomplices. And, again, there's no evidence she did that. Trump just shot the messenger and wants to install someone who will make it look like his economy is doing better than it is. The newly revised numbers showed the U.S. added 258,000 fewer jobs in May and June than first reported, a bad sign for the future of the economy. Trump is an agent of chaos, firing off posts about anything and everything he sees on TV. But how do we know he's mostly reacting to whatever pops up on television? Sometimes he just says as much, like when he recently said that he's seen the starvation of children in Gaza on TV. This is a man with an entire intelligence community devoted to making sure he has the best and latest information from around the world. But he is fixated on whatever might be happening on the glowing boxes of mass media around him at all times. Trump also seemed to be talking directly to the TV on Monday when he sent a few posts about Sen. Elizabeth Warren, writing, 'Ask Pocahontas the real questions, CNBC!!!' Warren was on the financial news channel to discuss Trump's firing of the BLS commissioner, pointing out that it's extremely dangerous. Warren said Trump seemed poised to 'put in some sycophant that makes the president happy,' which clearly set him off. You'd think the job of the president would require a little more attention to world affairs and less to the criticism he's hearing on TV. But obviously, this is a unique era in American history. And none of this dysfunction is going to get resolved anytime soon.
