Sharon Osbourne once confined her daughter singer Kelly Osbourne to a padded cell in the hopes of curing her drug addition.
The 28-year-old star is grateful for Sharon's determination to help her get clean as an unruly teenager, reported Aceshowbiz.
"I've been to rehab seven times and to two mental institutions. My mum even had me put in a padded cell once to scare me, but like a brat I just sat it out until she said, 'Well, that's not going to work'," Kelly said.
The 'Fashion Police' star admitted she tried to clean up her act aged 18 when Sharon was diagnosed with cancer, and put her career on hold and look after her mother.
"When I was 18, I was set to play Lindsay Lohan's best friend in 'Freaky Friday'. Then my mum got diagnosed with cancer. I was faced with the choice of a career or spending what could have been the last days of my mother's life with her. I became my mum's nurse 24/7. I thought I was going to lose her - it was awful," she said.
However, it took a few more years before the style-savvy star, who is engaged to chef Matthew Mosshart - stopped dabbling in drugs.
"I was never one of those people who was like, 'Let's party; let's go and do loads of coke'. In fact, I would never even tell anyone I had drugs because I wanted them all to myself. I was quite selfish.
