Sharon Osbourne has spoken out after her daughter Kelly Osbourne was targeted by cruel comments online about her appearance. The situation happened after Kelly appeared at a public event where many people began commenting on her weight and looks.
Kelly later revealed that she has been going through one of the hardest periods of her life following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, in 2025. She said the grief affected her health, appetite, and overall wellbeing.
After seeing the comments online, Sharon Osbourne publicly defended her daughter and criticized the people who were attacking her. She said she could not believe how cruel some people could be and said no one deserves that kind of abuse.
Kelly also responded to the criticism herself, saying there is a special kind of cruelty in attacking someone who is already going through a difficult time. She said she should not have to defend herself while dealing with grief and personal struggles.
The comments reportedly started after Kelly appeared at the BRIT Awards where she and Sharon accepted a posthumous award on behalf of Ozzy Osbourne. While the event was meant to honor him, it also led to negative attention online about Kelly’s appearance.
Sharon made it clear that she is proud of her daughter for standing up for herself and speaking out against online bullying and body shaming.
Many fans have since shown support for Kelly online, saying people should be more compassionate, especially when someone is dealing with loss and grief.
The situation has started a wider conversation online about body shaming, grief, and how people are treated on social media.
