    Kelly Osbourne has claimed she was abused for "being fat" far more than being addict or a "horrible" person

    The 40-year-old star - who previously underwent a gastric sleeve operation - slammed society for being "fat-phobic" and hit out at the "insane" criticism she has received and constant comments on her weight, even if people tried to frame their remarks as a compliment


    Appearing at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy + Healthy Summit at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday (10.05.25), People magazine reports she said: "We live in a fat-phobic world.

    "I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic ... I've been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible - but I got more s*** for being fat than I did for anything else. It's insane.

    "You'll never read an article about me that hasn't got a comment about my weight...

    "People [would] say, 'You're so pretty. Why don't you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you'll be the total package.' "

    Kelly - who has two-year-old son Sidney with partner Sid Wilson - noted she had "tried everything" over the years to lose weight, but she could only make real changes when in the right mental space.

    She said: "I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet and exercise.

    "I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place."

    She also noted: "It's not just as simple as change your diet and move. You have to change your brain. You have to come to peace and acceptance about where you are in your life before you can start."

    Kelly previously revealed she had undergone a gastric sleeve operation to lose weight, and later insisted she was "proud" to have slimmed down that way.

    Speaking on the 'Hollywood Raw' podcast in 2021, she said: "I had surgery; I don't give a f*** what anyone has to say. I did it, I'm proud of it, they can suck s***. I did the gastric sleeve. All it does is change the shape of your stomach. I got that almost two years ago. I will never ever ever lie about it ever. It is the best thing I have ever done.

    "The kind of surgery I had ... if you don't work out and you don't eat right, you gain weight. All it does is move you in the right direction."
