Kelly Osbourne is once again pushing back against online critics after a fresh wave of body-shaming remarks about her appearance.
The television personality, 41, addressed the backlash on Monday, February 23, after attending the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective Spring/Summer 2026 presentation in London the day before. Her appearance at the fashion event, where she wore an embellished, subtly sheer plum gown and debuted a cropped blonde bob, quickly drew mixed reactions online.
Sharing a screenshot of one particularly harsh comment that described her as "too thin and fragile" and compared her to a "dead body," Osbourne did not hold back. "Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!" she wrote on Instagram Stories.
In a separate post, she added a brief but pointed message: "This too shall pass, but like, holy f---."
The criticism comes months after the death of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025 at age 76. Since his passing, Osbourne has been candid about the toll grief has taken on her life and health.
Back in December, she addressed what she called "disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments" about her appearance. In an emotional video, Osbourne questioned the expectations being placed on her during such a difficult time.
"I'm just here to say, 'What do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now?'" she said at the time, adding that simply getting out of bed and facing each day was an achievement.
She also pushed back on speculation about her health and weight, noting, "You say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down."
The former The Osbournes star further criticized those comparing her current appearance to photos from her teenage years, reminding followers that appearances naturally change with age. She also expressed disappointment that many of the harshest remarks appeared to come from other women.
Despite the negativity, Osbourne has continued to receive strong support from fans. Many flooded her comments with messages of encouragement, with one supporter writing that grief can be overwhelming and misunderstood by outsiders.
Her mother, Sharon Osbourne, has also publicly defended her, noting in an interview that her daughter has been struggling to eat properly since her father's death.
Osbourne has long been open about her body and weight journey. She previously revealed she underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2018 and later spoke about gaining weight after welcoming her son Sidney with Slipknot musician Sid Wilson in 2022. She has also denied rumors that she used Ozempic for weight loss, saying, "I don't know where that came from."
As she continues to navigate grief in the public eye, Osbourne has made it clear she will not stay silent in the face of online abuse.
