Osbourne’s Instagram Story has since expired, but Today reports that the screenshot of the email she posted read that the National Enquirer “is preparing to publish a story which reports Kelly Osbourne has put on a tremendous amount of weight after slimming down significantly earlier this year.” It continued to say that the article “quotes sources who said the former Fashion Police star has been dealing with the stress of her relapse by eating and doctors who said the resulting weight gain has left her at high risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus.” Osbourne relapsed in April of this year after being sober for nearly four years, as reported by Page Six. Along with the screenshot of the email, Osbourne wrote on Instagram, “This is what I have to deal with on a daily basis. Feel free to email [editor-in-chief] Dan [Dolan] and tell him what you think about them fat shaming me.“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb Osbourne also talked how hard the past several months have been for her. “This past year has been the hardest year of my life,” she wrote. “I was compliantly [sic] and utterly broken.

She wrote that the story was being justified by sources claiming they were worried about Osbourne catching COVID, but “the world is worried about catching covid – fat, thin, old, young.” She also wrote about how worries about body image can affect young girls’ mental health. “Kelly has had a particularly bad year,” Sharon continued. “She has taken a step back from the public eye to work on herself. She is doing amazingly well and our family is very proud of her.” Osbourne has been open about her weight, her sobriety, and her overall health on social media and in interviews. She’s talked about undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, which she described as “not a quick fix” on the Hollywood Raw podcast (via People). She also spoke to Extra in April about losing 90 pounds. “Everyone was so, like, caught up in how, how I look. They never asked me how I felt,” she said. “And the truth is I was so fing happy and I felt amazing … I did it for me. I did it because I wanted to live. What I saw in the mirror… I wanted the body to match the mind, because I, I spent so much time working on my mind and then I spent a year working on my body and now it’s about the soul… did the mind, the body, now the soul.” Of relapsing, she told Extra, “I’m that girl that when everything is going great I need to f it up a little and make everything a little bit worse in my life. I am an addict and had thought that I had enough time under my belt and I could drink like a normal person, and it turns out I cannot and I will never be normal.” Recently, Osbourne celebrated being five months sober in a post on Instagram. “Today marks my 37th birthday and I’m 5 months sober!!!” she wrote on Oct. 27. “I am filled with so much gratitude it’s almost overwhelming.” RELATED: See the Photo of Holly Madison as a Playboy Bunny That “Terrified” Her.
