Kelly Osbourne slams 'fat-phobic world'

Kelly Osbourne remembers her days spent dealing with body shaming.

The reality star and singer, 40, was speaking on a panel at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday.

During the panel talk, the conversation shifted to the factors that pushed Osbourne to embark on her weight loss journey.

“We live in a fat-phobic world,” Osbourne told the summit attendees. “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," she continued, while also sharing that she had become accustomed to constant backhanded comments about her physical appearance when she was heavier.

"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,'" she recalled.

However, the Dancing with the Stars alum admitted that she couldn't see any impact despite having "tried everything” at the time until she approached the weight loss journey again with the right mental and emotional space.

"I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet and exercise," she explained. "I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place."

"It’s not just as simple as change your diet and move,” she said at another point during the panel. “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."

She also admitted that her weight loss journey wasn't easy and "came in stages."
