On Dec. 10, shediscussed the "disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments" she received online.
"I'm just here to say, 'What do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now?' The fact that I'm getting out of bed and facing my life and trying to be more than enough, I should be commended for that," she said on Instagram.

Osbourne advised that everyone who is writing "sick comments" about her "need to take a strong, hard look" at themselves "because those things you say about me is how you feel about yourself," she said.
"For example, you say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down. I don't understand how people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life when it's not," she continued.

In another clip, which has since been deleted, Osbourne said, "To the people who keep thinking they're being funny and mean by writing comments like 'Are you ill,' or 'Get off Ozempic, you don't look right.' My dad just died, and I'm doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family. And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life."
