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!”
