Kelly Osbourne Slams Critics for Calling Out Her Dramatic Weight Loss: ‘F— Off’

Kelly Osbourne is pushing back hard against online trolls — and her mom Sharon Osbourne is firmly in her corner.

Sharon appeared on British broadcaster Piers Morgan’s show to discuss the final days of her late husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. During their conversation, Morgan played an Instagram clip of Kelly calling out people who have been mocking her recent weight loss and speculating about her health. Kelly explained in the video that she’s been struggling to eat since her father died on July 22.

“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. 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 said in the since-deleted clip.

She ended the message with a blunt sign-off: “So to all those people, f— off.”

Sharon immediately backed her daughter’s stance.

“She’s right,” Sharon said around the 54-minute mark of the interview. “She’s lost her daddy, she can’t eat right now.”

Kelly, 41, first became a household name at 15 on her family’s reality series The Osbournes, and she’s been open for years about her long, painful history with body image and weight.

In remarks she gave last May, the mom to 3-year-old son Sid spoke honestly about being relentlessly targeted for her appearance.

“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.

“You’ll never read an article about me that hasn’t got a comment about my weight,” she continued, noting that the criticism felt just as vicious when she was heavier as it does now that she’s thinner.

“People [would] say, ‘You’re so pretty. Why don’t you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you’ll be the total package,’ ” she recalled. Over time, those comments deeply affected her mental health.

“I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet and exercise,” she explained. “I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place.”

Kelly has also shared that during her pregnancy with Sid, she essentially disappeared from public view for all nine months because she feared being body-shamed.

“I gained 100 lbs.,” she said.

“Long story short, I saw what they did to Jessica Simpson and I thought it was disgusting,” she added, referring to how Simpson was mocked online for her pregnancy weight gain. “I was so frightened that would happen to me too that I hid. I just didn’t want pictures out there. I didn’t want to face it and have people be like, ‘Oh she’s a moose!’ So I just cut the problem out.”

There was, however, one silver lining to staying home: it gave her precious time with her dad, Ozzy.

“My partner Sid [Wilson] was on tour, so I just moved back in with my parents and hung out with my dad and we did everything together,” she said.

“We played Jenga, we played cards, we had like 20 different TV shows we were watching at once. He would go on my diet and I’d go on his diet, and then we’d work out in the pool together, because his physical therapy was similar to what I was supposed to be doing. We had the best time together.”
