Marie Osmond was shocked when Larry King asked her about her 16 year old son Michael’s admission to a rehab facility. She gave him a blank look and then asked him how he knew that. Not cool Larry.

The singer and her brother Donny Osmond sat down with Larry King yesterday afternoon to tape his evening show. They expected the conversation to cover the loss of their father, their 50th Anniversary Show and Marie’s Dancing with the Stars experience. The pair were said to be livid that King would ambush Marie.

Today’s New York Post had the banner headline “King of Ambush Blindsides Marie on Rehab”. Donny was reportedly ready to have King pull the interview when Entertainment Tonight went on air with the leaked story. The video clip soon raced across the internet.

According to sources, King was getting back at the Osmond’s for giving Oprah their 50th Anniversary Show. King has been in negotiations with the Osmond family and had hoped to air the show on CNN. The program gave Oprah her best ratings of the year.

Apparently Marie has softened her stance and acknowledges that the information was bound to get out. She is not yet ready to talk about the specifics but hopes that their story might help others going through similar issues.
