Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the dramatic weight loss she experienced while grieving the death of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
Kelly said she didn’t fully realize how much weight she had lost until seeing a photograph of herself during a dress fitting for the Grammys. Although friends and family had expressed concern, she said grief made it difficult for her to recognize the changes in her own appearance.
The Grammys proved especially emotional because the ceremony included a tribute to her father. Kelly said she chose clothing that wouldn’t emphasize her weight loss and wore a wig as she struggled through the difficult appearance.
She explained that grief had severely affected her appetite, sometimes leaving her feeling nauseous when she tried to eat. At the same time, she made an effort to protect her young son from seeing the depth of her pain by putting on a cheerful face around him.
Kelly has also pushed back against criticism and cruel comments about her appearance online, stressing that people were judging her body while she was still grieving the loss of her father.
