Tommy Lee insists that Ozzy Osbourne really did snort a line of ants.
The notorious metall tale was said to have taken place in the ’80s while the Prince of Darkness was on tour with Mötley Crüe and was immortalized in the film The Dirt. In a 2023 episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy han själv claimed that the story was true, while Sharon Osbourne remained skeptical.
Speaking on the This Past Weekend podcast, Lee says the ant snorting did indeed happen while the bands were sharing a hotel on the road.
“At that time it was just kind of a thing everybody was into, like, out-rock star and out-grossing somebody out,” Lee says.
Lee says after seeing Ozzy treat insects like a line of cocaine, Nikki Sixx tried to up the ante by urinating on the deck of the hotel pool.
“Nikki goes to pee on the ground and Nikki’s gonna lick up his own p*** to, like, out-do Ozzy,” Lee says. “Before Nikki could do it, Ozz

TOMMY LEE Says It's 'Absolutely' True That OZZY OSBOURNE Snorted Ants And Drank His Own P***
During an appearance on the new episode of the This Past Weekend With Theo Von podcast, Tommy Lee addressed a story in the MÖTLEY CRÜE biopic "The Dirt" about Ozzy Osbourne allegedly drinking his own pee and snorting a line of ants.
In "The Dirt", which premiered in 2019 on Netflix, a young Ozzy (played by Tony Cavalero) holds an impromptu gross-out contest of sorts with MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx at a Lakeland, Florida hotel swimming pool in 1984 during the two acts' joint U.S. tour. After exposing himself to some hotel guests, Ozzy asks CRÜE for cocaine. Sixx (played by Douglas Booth) hands over a straw, and Ozzy kneels on the ground and snorts a crawling line of ants. Then he urinates on the ground and licks it up, challenging Sixx to do the same. Pressured, Sixx urinates on the ground as well — but before he can get to it, Osbourne
