Osbourne settles TV fight case

Sharon Osbourne and a former contestant on her US TV show 'Rock Of Love Charm School' have settled a battery and negligence lawsuit.

Lawyers for the wife of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne and Megan Hauserman said they had settled the case, which was due to begin in Los Angeles yesterday.

Ms Hauserman sued Osbourne in March 2009, claiming she was struck and had her hair pulled during an episode of the VH1 show. VH1 promoted the fracas as "Sharon and Megan's big fight".

In the video, the women exchange insults, Osbourne pours a drink on Ms Hauserman and then the two are surrounded by a rush of people.

Lawyers for both sides said they could not discuss the settlement.
