Jack Osbourne, the 40-year-old media personality, has taken a stand against body shamers who have criticized him for being ‘grossly underweight.’ In a candid Instagram post, Osbourne addressed the comments, stating, ‘I cannot believe I’m having to actually make this video.’
Osbourne clarified that he has not lost any weight since participating in ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ six months ago. He explained that his appearance change is due to shaving his beard and opting for a mustache. ‘I’ve been the same weight,’ he emphasized.
Osbourne shared that he has been on a weight loss journey for over three years, starting when he weighed around 220 pounds. ‘I decided that I wanted to make some changes, so I did,’ he said, noting that he now weighs 155 pounds at five-foot-eight-and-a-half, which he considers perfectly healthy.
He expressed frustration over being criticized for his weight, both when he was heavier and now that he has reached a healthy weight. ‘I’ve been brutalized by the press about being overweight my entire life,’ he said, adding that the criticism has persisted despite his efforts to improve his health.
Family Support
Jack’s sister, Kelly Osbourne, has also faced public scrutiny over her appearance. After attending the BRIT Awards, she received negative comments on social media, with some suggesting she was too thin. Kelly responded by posting screenshots of the comments and expressing her disbelief at the cruelty of some individuals.
‘This is a special kind of cruelty,’ Kelly wrote, highlighting the lack of compassion shown by those who comment negatively on others’ appearances. She emphasized that such comments reflect a profound absence of character.
Both Jack and Kelly Osbourne’s experiences highlight the ongoing issue of body shaming in the public eye and the importance of compassion and understanding.
