Kelly Osbourne publicly rebuked online critics who body-shamed her appearance following her recent BRIT Awards appearance, calling the comments “disgusting” and cruel as she navigates grief after her father’s death.
In an Instagram post, the 41-year-old described the backlash as a “special kind of cruelty,” saying that attacking someone “clearly going through something” reveals “a profound absence of compassion and character.”
Osbourne’s comments come days after she faced harsh remarks about her weight and figure, some alleging she looked “too thin” or comparing her to a “dead body.”
She urged empathy over judgment, emphasizing she should not have to defend her body amid personal struggles. The TV personality has been candid about her emotional challenges since losing her father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
