Kelly Osbourne issues scathing statement to body‑shaming trolls

Kelly Osbourne hit back at body‑shaming trolls as she goes through the “hardest time” in her life following her dad Ozzy Osbourne’s death. “There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories after appearing at the 2026 BRIT Awards with mom Sharon Osbourne.

“Kicking me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most,” she added, saying that “none of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character.” Kelly said she “should not even have to defend [herself]” but “won’t sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way.” She had drawn attention at the BRITs for her thin appearance, wearing a figure‑hugging black floor‑length gown as she posed on the red carpet.
