Jack Osbourne went on a fiery rant after headlines claimed he was “sick,” “grossly underweight,” and facing a “health crisis,” insisting he hasn’t lost weight since competing on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and that he’s perfectly healthy at 5-foot-8-a
Jack Osbourne didn’t just disagree with the headlines—he sounded stunned that he had to address them at all.
In a video shared by Jack Osbourne. the 40-year-old son of the late Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne said. “I cannot believe I’m having to actually make this. ” adding. “If I see one more article written about me saying how I’m ‘sick. ’ I’m ‘grossly underweight’. [that I’m] ‘health crisis Jack’ … it’s f–king insane.”.
He continued by pushing back on the suggestion that something has changed in his body recently. Jack Osbourne said he has not lost any weight since competing on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. explaining. “I’ve been the same f–king weight. The only difference is I shaved my beard and opted for a creepy mustache. That’s the only f–king difference….I’ve been slowly but consistently losing weight for the last three and a half years. I shot up to about 220 pounds about three and a half years ago and decided that I wanted to make some changes. so I did.”.
Then he put numbers to the debate. “What’s the big f–king deal? I’m 5 foot 8 and a half and 155 pounds. It is perfectly healthy.”
Jack Osbourne also turned his anger toward the pattern he says has followed him for years—first being criticized for being overweight. then criticized again after getting to what he considers a healthy weight. “The fact that I even have to say this blows my mind. My entire life I was just brutalized by the press about being overweight. and the fact that I get down to a healthy weight. now I’m criticized even more?. Get f–ked,” he said.
The backlash around appearance isn’t new to the family either. If you have not seen, Jack‘s sister Kelly Osbourne has also dealt with body shaming.
