In a recent episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Kelly Osbourne defended herself against online bullies targeting her appearance following the loss of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.
Talking with Piers, who had her mom, Sharon Osbourne, as a guest, Kelly replayed a clip where she addressed the backlash regarding her noticeable weight loss.
“To those thinking it’s funny to comment, ‘Are you sick?’ or ‘Stop using Ozempic, you don’t look right,’ just remember that my dad just passed away. I’m doing my best, and the one thing I have to cling to right now is my family,” explained Kelly, who is 41 years old.
She further emphasized, “I share the bright sides of my life, not the grim parts. So if you’re trolling, just know you can buzz off!”
Piers also asked Sharon to share her thoughts on the mean-spirited teasing that Kelly faces amid her profound grief. He pointed out that such trolling wouldn’t exist as it does now without social media.
Sharon chimed in, saying, “It’s just a shield for people unhappy with themselves, a way for jealousy and perceptions of others to surface.”
Kelly took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday once again to send a strong message to her trolls. “I appreciate the many kind comments I’ve received, which really support me during this tough time after losing my father,” she stated.
She continued, “I’m not just saying this as a cliché. Honestly, what do people expect me to look like right now? Just getting out of bed and trying to move forward should be more than enough credit.'”
Kelly challenged her critics, noting, “You should really examine yourselves, as your harsh words about me often reflect how you feel about yourselves. You think I look sick? Well, in reality, I’m not okay right now; my entire world has been shaken up. Why do people assume I should act like everything is fine? It’s simply not!”
Concluding her message, Kelly expressed her disappointment that many negative comments come from women, whom you would think would show solidarity.
“It’s devastating to see women targeting each other, especially those who claim to be counselors or mothers while struggling with their own weight. We should be supporting one another,” she added.
