Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of darkness. Beloved reality-TV buffoon. Elder abuse victim?

That appears to be the opinion of the Black Sabbath frontman's daughter Kelly, who took to Twitter to vent her thoughts on the alleged affair between her father and hairstylist Michelle Pugh.

Osbourne hurled the allegation Monday, after posting a phone number presumably belonging to Pugh and being criticized for disclosing the digits.

"@KellyOsbourne @tldoyle1271 why would it only be one persons fault??? It takes 2 to tango – both guilty. She knew he was married," one detractor tweeted at Osbourne.

To which she replied, "@jodee814 my father is almost 70 ever heard of elder abuse?"

Sharon Osbourne confirmed her split with Ozzy after 33 years of marriage on her CBS daytime show "The Talk" earlier this month.

"I just need time to think about myself, about what do I really want for the rest of my life," Sharon Osbourne said.

She did not directly reference the cheating rumors, though she did take to the "Talk" stage sipping a glass of lemonade — which some took as a reference to the Beyonce project "Lemonade," which touches on the topic of infidelity.

During the revelation on "The Talk," Sharon Osbourne also did not say whether she planned to divorce her husband.

Shortly after the announcement of the split, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne appeared together at an event at the Hollywood Palladium to announce the return of the Ozzfest music festival.
