- "Why are you pissed off all the time? I dare you to smile."
- — Sharon Osbourne in the Commentary
Aimée Osbourne is the mysterious third child between Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, she is their eldest. While her siblings Jack and Kelly achieved pop culture fame for appearing in the family's MTV reality series The Osbournes, the more private Aimée declined to appear on the show, feeling that doing so would typecast her and affect her musical career. She also detested her parent's behaviour.
Role in The Osbournes[]
She only appears in the series in brief unintentional cameos, mentioned and in pictures.
She is often mentioned by the other Osbourne family members and is part of some episode plot points. In one episode Aimée had signed Kelly up for a gynaecologist appointment which upset Kelly who claimed Aimée possibly goes weekly, Ozzy thinks it's all a joke. She does make a vocal and physical appearance, albeit blurred out, when a stray cat enters the home. Her she and her mother scream as Ozzy tries to get the cat out.
She also appears unintentionally during Ozzy and Sharon's wedding vow renewals standing next to Kelly, the camera is clearly trying to avoid getting Aimée in the shot but the back of her head is clearly visible a few times. She is also thanked by 2 of the wedding raffle prize winners during the ending credits, ironically they struggled to remember Kelly's name but got Aimée straight away.
In Series 2 Sharon mentions that Aimée is a "good girl" which annoys Kelly and Jack who think that their parents favourtise her. Aimée was present for the commentary track for It's a Hard Knock Life onwards, she also reveals a major distaste towards Kelly at this time and believes that the family isn't dysfunctional but has no structure. Most of her comments are very spiteful and targeted towards her hatred for the show and disdain for her family's behaviour, that said she does seem more comfortable towards her father and most of the time her mother, though she does make some comments.
In the 2018 Podcast, Aimée makes no appearances but is frequently mentioned (rarely by name) in the series as the family reflect on their past.
It was revealed in 2018 in an interview by Sharon that Aimée left the house by the third season due to the TV show.
