Kelly Osbourne Speaks Out As Social Media Weighs In
According to Fox News, Kelly Osbourne apparently noticed the public concern and took to her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 1, to address it.
“There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something, kicking me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most,” she wrote. “None of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character. I’m currently going through the hardest time of my life. I should not even have to defend myself. But I won’t sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way!”

To note, amid Kelly’s message, social media users continued to share their concerns in TSR’s comment section.
Instagram user @yowebb_ wrote, “Grieving the loss of a parent is one of the hardest journeys a person can walk. That kind of grief doesn’t just touch your heart, it can change your appearance, your mental health, and even your physical well-being. Give her grace. Hopefully she will get help for whatever is going on.”
