Kelly Osbourne has been quite vocal about her struggles with her body and weight since rising to fame as a teenager on her family’s reality show, The Osbournes.
“I got pulled into the head of the agency office and he… gave me a whole speech about how I was too fat for TV and that I needed to lose weight, and that if I lost weight I would look better,” she recalled being told as a child in a 2024 episode of The Osbournes Podcast.
She further recalled, “And he just said, ‘You’re not a movie star, but you could be one if you lose weight.'”
During her adulthood, Kelly lost 85 pounds. after stomach surgery, although she struggled with her appearance again after becoming pregnant with her first child, son Sidney, who was born in 2022.
“I wasn’t gentle with myself,” she said PEOPLE in 2024 of both gaining and losing baby weight. ‘It’s something I would be angry with myself about. I didn’t have to hide.’
And in December 2025, Kelly made headlines with a message to those who criticized her dramatic weight loss in the months since the death of her father Ozzy Osbourne.
“To the people who keep thinking they are funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you sick’ or ‘Get away from Ozempic, you don’t look good.’ My dad just passed away, and I’m doing the best I can, and all I have to live for now is my family,” she said in a now-deleted clip, adding, “So to all those people, ‘f**k off.’ “
Her mother, Sharon Osbourne, quickly came to Kelly Osbourne’s defense, telling British broadcaster Piers Morgan: “She’s right. She’s lost her father, she can’t eat now.”
