Kelly Osbourne isn’t holding back anymore.
During Sharon Osbourne’s emotional sit-down with Piers Morgan on December 10, where she recounted the final days of her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne’s, life, the interview shifted when Morgan brought up a now-deleted Instagram video Kelly posted addressing nonstop comments about her dramatic weight loss. The clip, which spread quickly across social media, showed Kelly directly confronting the speculation that’s followed her for months.
“To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you ill,’ or ‘Get off Ozempic, you don’t look right.’ My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family,” she said in the video.
She explained that the content she still shares online is intentionally upbeat. “And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life.”
Kelly ended the message with a blunt sign-off, “So to all those people, ‘f*** off.’”
Sharon didn’t hesitate to defend her daughter. “She’s right,” she said during the interview. “She’s lost her daddy, she can’t eat right now.” The moment underscored just how intensely the family is grieving, and how exhausting it’s been for Kelly to face public commentary at the same time.
The reality star has long been open about how deeply body-shaming has affected her, revealing that the scrutiny around her appearance has followed her for most of her life.
“I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic … I’ve been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible — but I got more s*** for being fat than I did for anything else. It’s insane,” she told attendees at Beacher Vitality’s Happy & Healthy Summit, per People. She added that nearly every article written about her includes a remark about her weight, no matter what size she happens to be.
“You’ll never read an article about me that hasn’t got a comment about my weight,” she said, admitting it was just as harsh when she was heavier as it is now that she’s slim.
She also recalled people telling her, “‘You’re so pretty. Why don’t you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you’ll be the total package.’”
The comments wore her down mentally over the years, leading her to try everything from surgeries to medication to strict routines. But eventually, she said, “I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place.”
