Naturally, Arden was not amused when, in 1982, Ozzy Osbourne's new wife, Sharon, replaced Arden as his manager and removed Ozzy from Arden's label, Jet. Arden told Sharon to "get me a million dollars [for Osbourne], and piss off." Sharon, in turn, kicked Arden out of Ozzy's life and took pains to ensure that he never met her children.
Twenty years later, Sharon and Arden finally reconciled and Sharon allowed Arden to meet his grandchildren; Don Arden was her father.
