‘We live in a fat-phobic world’: Kelly Osbourne says body shaming was worse than her addiction battles

At the first-ever Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles, Kelly Osbourne, who is 40 years old, spoke strongly about how common body shaming is and how it has affected her life. Osbourne, who is known for her work in reality TV and as a former co-host of “Fashion Police,” shared that the criticism she received about her weight was much worse than the negativity she faced during her struggles with addiction.

“We live in a world that fears fat,” she told the crowd, according to People. “I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic… I’ve been a complete mess, rude to people, awful — but I got more hate for being fat than for anything else. It’s crazy.” This shows just how harsh the body shaming was for her, pointing out the pressure and judgment she dealt with because of her weight.
