She rules with a iron fist.

Sharon Osbourne is supporting her husband after Kanye West sampled Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” on an upcoming “Vultures” track after Ozzy allegedly asked him not to.

“We are considering legal action,” a representative for Sharon, 71, told The Post on Friday.

The redhead’s representative added that Ozzy, 75, has not spoken to West, 46, but their teams have been in communication.

West already interpolated “Iron Man” for his 2010 song “Hell of a Life.”

“In 2010, Kanye had not yet come out as anti-Semitic,” Sharon’s rep told The Post on Friday.

The Post also contacted representatives for Ozzy and West for comment.

Additionally, Sharon, who was raised Jewish, allegedly told him TMZ that “Kanye fucked with the wrong Jew this time.”

He claimed that West’s team asked Ozzy for permission to use “Iron Man” three weeks ago, to which the pair allegedly responded, “Of course not.”

Sharon said Ozzy rarely turns down people’s requests to use his songs, but says West currently “represents hate” and is a “disrespectful anti-Semite.”

The former “The Talk” co-host allegedly said of West: “The son of a bitch is a pig.”

Ozzy tweeted on Friday: “@kanyewest ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO SHOW A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘IRON MAN’ FROM THE USA FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOICE AND WAS DENIED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE’S AN ANTI-SEMITE AND HAS CAUSED PAIN UNSAYABLE TO MANY.”

He continued: “HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT THE PARTY TO LISTEN TO HIS ALBUM LAST NIGHT. I DON’T WANT ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!

Last Halloween, Ozzy and Sharon dressed up as West and his wife, Bianca Censori, with the rock legend wearing an all-black West-style outfit and Sharon simply protecting her bare chest with a purple pillow like Censori has done in the past. .
