Kelly Osbourne has found herself in the crosshairs of online critics again, not for what she did, but for what people assume she did. In recent months, the British TV personality has been tagged in countless social-media posts speculating about her dramatic weight loss and what fans have dubbed “Ozempic neck,” a term used to describe the angular, lean look some celebrities get after using certain weight-loss medications.
But Osbourne says the narrative is more complicated and far more human. In a pointed message to critics, she reminded followers that she’s navigating grief after the death of her father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, and is trying her best under immense pressure. Quoting directly from her response, she told haters: “To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you ill,’ or ‘Get off Ozempic,’ or ‘You don’t look right’ — 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.”
Rather than Ozempic or any single quick-fix pill, Osbourne has repeatedly insisted her weight changes are her own, the result of lifestyle shifts, past surgeries, and the emotional strain of her personal journey. She’s blunt when she argues back: “So, to all those people, f*** off!”
Her message resonates beyond celebrity gossip, it’s a stark reminder that behind every viral hashtag lies a real person with real struggles. Osbourne’s story, she insists, isn’t about a pill or a look, it’s about resilience in one of the hardest seasons of her life.
