Kelly Osbourne Reacts to Comment Saying She Looks Like a “Dead Body”

by

Kelly Osbourne has had it with the body shaming.

Okay, so I was scrolling through Kelly Osbourne’s Instagram, and someone left the meanest comment! They said she looked like a ‘dead body’ and then actually wrote that she’d be seeing her dad soon! Can you believe the nerve? It just broke my heart to read something so awful directed at her, especially with everything she’s been through. Seriously, some people online have zero filter!

Kelly shared on Instagram February 23rd that she was shocked and appalled by a hateful comment she received, stating that ‘no one deserves this kind of abuse!’ She posted a screenshot of the comment along with her message.

Many of her followers reacted negatively, with one person replying, “That’s a terrible thing to say – don’t you have any compassion?”

Someone else commented that it seemed like I was holding onto a lot of jealousy and envy, both in a physical and emotional sense.

Kelly Osbourne is used to comments about her appearance, and has addressed them before, particularly after the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, in July at the age of 76.

She shared in an Instagram Story last December that she wasn’t feeling well and was going through a really difficult time. She expressed frustration with people expecting her to quickly recover and appear happy when she was actually struggling.

She said simply getting up and dealing with life’s challenges is an accomplishment in itself, and she deserves credit for even trying.

And mom Sharon Osbourne had her daughter’s back. 

Sharon stated on the December episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored that the person in question is grieving the loss of her father and isn’t able to eat.

The 73-year-old also questioned whether many negative comments online might be a way for unhappy people to hide their own feelings.

“They’ve something wrong with their lives,” Sharon said. “They’re not happy.”

Kelly has been very open about how difficult it’s been since her father passed away. She’s a mom to 3-year-old Sidney and is engaged to Sid Wilson.

During the 2026 Grammys on February 1st, she revealed she was struggling, admitting, ‘It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through,’ a departure from the typical response of saying everything is fine.

You know, navigating loss is never easy, but I’ve been focusing on honoring my husband’s memory and finding joy again. It’s a process, of course, but we’re really putting in the effort to live a life that reflects his values and brings us happiness, even through the sadness.

In a May 2024 TikTok video, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s daughter shared that she’d experienced a disheartening milestone: receiving comments about her body from two different strangers online.

She explained that one person told her she should use Ozempic because of her weight, while another accused her of being dangerously underweight. She pointed out that her weight hadn’t changed during that time, and even if it had, it wouldn’t have been anyone else’s concern.

Ava believes everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are, regardless of their appearance. She explained that you never know the challenges someone might be facing, and true beauty goes far beyond just how someone looks.

The singer of “I’m Good” responded to negative comments about her body, saying she was fed up with people criticizing her appearance. In a June 2023 tweet, she acknowledged gaining weight, but firmly stated she was tired of the conversation and wanted it to end.

I always tell people, it’s so important to remember that bodies naturally fluctuate – it’s just part of life! You really never know what someone else is dealing with, whether it’s medication they’re taking, an underlying health condition, or just life in general. Let’s all be a little kinder and more understanding.

Following criticism about her appearance in an Instagram photo, the actress known for The House Bunny responded to those commenting on her weight. She explained she felt compelled to address the situation and raise awareness about body shaming. She admitted the photo’s angle made her appear thinner than she is, but emphasized that it’s never okay to leave negative and unsolicited comments about someone’s body, regardless of how you feel or what you think.

She explained that commenting on her weight, whether saying she’s too thin or needs to eat, is unhelpful and hurtful. She made it clear she won’t tolerate any form of body shaming.

Over a week later, she posted a bikini photo with a message for her critics, playfully writing, “To those who disapprove… with love and thanks, here’s a kiss [kiss emoji] and a smile [peace sign emoji]! I’ll keep on smiling no matter what.”

 

In February 2021, the actress publicly addressed rumors that she was pregnant. The speculation started after photos of her on a film set in Australia, showing her wearing a dark blue tank top, circulated online. She directly criticized a news outlet, the New York Post, in an Instagram post, stating that it was unacceptable for people to comment on a woman’s body in 2021, and urging them to “do better.” She confirmed she was not pregnant.

The star of Flip or Flop recently addressed online criticism about her appearance. In a video posted to Instagram Stories, she explained that people were commenting on her weight, saying she looked too thin or needed to eat more. She clarified that this is her natural weight, and she simply returns to it after having babies. She reassured fans that she’s healthy and doing well.

The singer, who recently faced criticism online about her body and weight, responded to the negativity without saying a word.

During her performance at Manchester Pride 2025, she wore a large T-shirt featuring a graphic of a woman in a cropped tank top and black pushup bra.

After her breakup with Jim Edmonds, the former Bravo star asked fans to stop commenting on her weight. She admitted on Instagram in December 2019, ‘I’m too thin,’ and responded to comments like ‘Eat a burger.’ She also asked for understanding, explaining that she was prioritizing her children and handling a difficult situation with as much grace as possible.

The singer, who recently faced criticism for being “too skinny,” responded to the comments in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She questioned what was wrong with her body, explaining that she’s naturally thin and maintains her physique through ballet, stretching, and regular exercise, which she says benefits her overall well-being.

If you choose to put yourself out there, you’ll inevitably face criticism, and that’s okay. I prioritize my own well-being – I embrace what benefits me and discard what doesn’t. I trust my team to handle any fallout from my decisions, and ultimately, I’ve learned you can’t try to make everyone happy.

Back in June 2020, Lizzo responded to people criticizing her body. In a TikTok video, she explained that she’s been consistently working out for five years, but not to achieve anyone else’s standards of beauty. She clarified she’s working towards her ideal body, and that’s nobody’s concern. She powerfully stated that she’s beautiful, strong, and focused on her work.

The singer behind the hit “Confident” has consistently spoken out against body shaming. In a 2016 interview with Glamour, she explained that when someone calls her fat, even when she’s feeling insecure, she just laughs it off, knowing she’s doing her best. She also pointed out that she doesn’t have—and maybe doesn’t even want—a six-pack, and doesn’t find that particularly appealing.

Following the actress’s decision to share a nude photo online, a user criticized her, writing in a now-deleted tweet that it was inappropriate for someone in their 50s to post such content, suggesting she should be spending time with family instead. The commenter lamented a perceived lack of grace in aging.

Halle quickly responded with a playful question: “Did you know a shrimp’s heart is in its head?”

The “Señorita” star previously took to Instagram Stories to send a message to her haters.

She started a long post explaining that she’d been avoiding social media to protect her feelings. She’d accidentally seen a headline about people criticizing her body, and her first reaction was to feel incredibly insecure, worrying about what the pictures might look like. She immediately thought about her cellulite and wishing she’d sucked in her stomach. But then she realized it’s natural to have unflattering photos and angles – nobody’s body is perfect! She added that it’s especially sad for young girls growing up in a world where everything is digitally altered, because they’re striving for an unrealistic ideal.

I’m writing this for young girls growing up with social media. They’re constantly bombarded with heavily edited photos, and it’s starting to feel like that’s what real people actually look like. Soon, everyone expects to see flawless, airbrushed skin, and that’s just not normal. It’s fake, and increasingly, that’s being presented as reality. We’re developing an incredibly unrealistic idea of what a woman’s body should look like. Girls, it’s okay to have cellulite and fat – it’s natural and beautiful! I refuse to believe this unrealistic standard, and I hope you will too.

In May 2019, the singer shared a video of her performance at the Hangout Music Festival, where she was wearing a black leotard. Someone commented on social media, questioning why she didn’t appear as curvy as she used to, referencing a previous collaboration with two male country singers. The singer responded directly, stating she had gained weight and asked the commenter to accept it.

She criticized the fashion industry, saying some designers wouldn’t dress her for the Grammys because of her size. In a January 2019 Instagram post, she urged them to promote body positivity instead of making women feel insecure. “We are beautiful at any size!” she wrote, adding that she would be attending the Grammys regardless, and encouraging everyone to “#LOVEYOURBODY.”

The celebrity had previously shared a photo of her family celebrating the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. In the picture, she’s holding her son, Canon. Someone then commented, asking if she was pregnant again.

She said no way, laughing, and explained that her 30-pound son was making it hard to pose for pictures because he was so heavy.

Someone else commented that if the child weighed 30 pounds, they would have significant health problems. The cookbook author quickly responded, firmly telling the commenter, “Excuse me? Absolutely not.”

Only a week after giving birth, the podcast host used Instagram to connect with her fans.

I’m really frustrated and need to get this off my chest,” she wrote in December 2018. She’d originally planned to share a photo of her stomach to document her recovery, but she was glad she hadn’t. The negative comments on her previous photo were shocking. She clarified that she hadn’t had plastic surgery, a personal chef, or the time to exercise consistently. She explained she’d had a C-section and was still recovering, though she does have a high pain tolerance, and had also undergone surgeries for her appendix and gallbladder. In the previous photo, she was wearing a belly wrap and high-waisted pants, and she couldn’t believe she even had to defend herself. She wondered why she’d likely be criticized even if she had posted the unedited photo, especially since she was trying to be open about her recovery. She questioned why women feel the need to compare and criticize each other. She admitted she struggles with this herself, wishing everyone could accept that bodies are different – they heal at different rates, react differently, and simply look different. She asked why anyone would shame someone for their appearance or feel bad about their own. She hoped people could be kinder to themselves and recognize that every woman’s journey is unique, and that we are all beautiful. She encouraged lifting other women up without tearing ourselves down in the process, and then shifted the focus back to her baby.

In April 2018, actress Candace Cameron Bure posted a photo of herself having dinner with her son, Lev Bure. Someone commented negatively, questioning why she still appeared heavier than her husband despite her workouts and asking if she’d changed her eating habits.

You know, as someone who spends a lot of time thinking about body image and self-acceptance, I was so impressed by how this actress handled a recent comment about her waist size. Someone tried to criticize her, and she responded beautifully, saying something along the lines of, ‘If a 25-inch waist seems large to you, it’s more about your perspective than it is about me.’ It’s such a powerful reminder that beauty standards are often distorted, and it’s important to focus on wellness and self-love instead. She finished with a simple ‘Be well,’ which I thought was the perfect way to shut down negativity and promote positivity.
