Ozzy Claims Doctor Over-Medicated Him
Rocker Says Over-Medication Responsible For Behavior On Show
Ozzy Osbourne has filed a complaint with the state medical board against his former Beverly Hills doctor.
The metal singer is alleging Dr. David Kipper overprescribed him addictive drugs that led to the rocker's disoriented behavior on the MTV reality series "The Osbournes."
That's according to a report Saturday in the Los Angeles Times. Osbourne told the Times he was over-medicated for more than a year by a doctor who had initially helped him with detox.
He claimed Dr. David Kipper put him on a bunch of pills to treat his anxiety and depression when he had an emotional collapse over his wife Sharon Osbourne's colon cancer.
A few months ago, Osbourne had told the Times he'd been swallowing as many as 42 pills a day under the doctor's direction.
Addressing his disoriented behavior on "The Osbournes," television show, Osbourne said, "I couldn't talk. I couldn't walk. I could barely stand up. I was lumbering about like the Hunchback of Notre Dame."
The Times reported that authorities have asked Kipper to turn over copies of Osbourne's medical records.
Kipper's attorney said the doctor is "always pleased to cooperate with the medical board."
