Ozzy Osbourne, you are not alone.  

On Wednesday, the Black Sabbath singer's rep revealed the rocker is being treated for sex addiction, closely following his alleged affair with celebrity hairstylist Michelle Pugh

"Over the last six years, Ozzy Osbourne has been dealing with a sex addiction," the rep said, adding, "[Ozzy] is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context."

Pugh has been vocal about her rendezvous with the rocker, recounting her four-year relationship to People magazine, saying, "He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshiped woman in the world." Despite her positive statements about Ozzy, the hairstylist is suing his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and public disclosure of public facts.

Over the past decade, sex addiction has slowly battled the psyches of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. 

To clarify what exactly sex addiction is, Dr. Drew explained on his show, Dr. Drew on Call, that people with sex addictions do go through withdrawals, like other addicts.

He likened the addiction, to an eating disorder, where one suffering would eventually have to eat and not stop things cold turkey. 

Other celebrities of note who have suffer from the same plight as Osbourne include Tiger Woods, David Duchovny and Russell Brand.

All three men have spoke out about their sex addiction publicly and have gone to rehab to come out on the other side.
