Kelly Osbourne fans urge her to seek help after recent video sparks health concerns
The Osbourne family has endured a grueling year of public mourning following the loss of their patriarch, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away last summer after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. But as 41-year-old Kelly Osbourne navigates the complexities of grief while raising her young son, Sidney, a recent social media post has redirected the public’s focus from her loss to her physical well-being. The controversy erupted after Kelly shared a video featuring a tender moment with her toddler. While the footage was intended to highlight the “happy side” of her life, fans were quick to voice alarm over her appearance, noting a frame that appeared significantly thinner and more pale than usual.
A Growing Wave of Concern
The reaction was swift and polarized. In the comments section, viewers expressed shock at the transformation, with some describing the star as “unrecognizable.”
“There’s no way this is healthy,” one user wrote, echoing a sentiment shared by many who described her hollowed cheeks and slimmed-down physique as “frightening.” The discourse inevitably turned toward the controversial use of weight-loss medications, a topic that has trailed Kelly and her mother, Sharon, for months.
“Oempic is scking out every last drop,” one commenter claimed, while others called for stricter regulation of GLP-1 drugs for those they perceived to be abusing the medication.
The Human Toll of Public Grief
However, amid the scrutiny, a vocal contingent of supporters urged for empathy over judgment. These fans pointed to the immense psychological toll of losing a parent under the relentless glare of the spotlight.
“Pray for her, man!” one supporter pleaded. Another noted the double standard often faced by women in Hollywood: “People mocked this lovely girl when she was heavy. She loses weight while under the public eye. Then, her beloved father passes. Grief is personal… Food is the last thing on her mind.”
Kelly Fires Back
This is not the first time the television personality has had to defend her body against public opinion. Following a previous wave of criticism in December, Kelly addressed her detractors directly in a now-deleted, emotionally charged Instagram post. Having previously admitted to utilizing weight-loss aids, she made it clear that her current state is inseparable from her mourning process.
“To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you ill,’ or ‘Get off Ozempic, you don’t look right,’” she wrote. “My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.”
She concluded with a sharp rebuke to those scrutinizing her curated digital life: “I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life, not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people: f**k off.”
For now, Kelly remains focused on her partner, Sid Wilson, and their son, even as the public debate over her health continues to rage alongside her private sorrow.
