Kelly Osbourne Debunks 'Suicide Pact' Rumors: The Real Story Behind Ozzy and Sharon's Claims
Kelly Osbourne Slams "Suicide Pact" Rumors and Sets the Record Straight on Her Parents' Health
It's been a wild ride for the Osbourne family, but Kelly is having none of it! The 40-year-old TV personality took to her Instagram stories last Friday to address the ridiculous rumors that her parents, Ozzy and Sharon, had made a "suicide pact" years ago. And let's just say she was NOT having it.
The drama started when Sharon Osbourne revealed on their podcast, The Osbournes, back in 2023 that they were still considering euthanasia as an option if they ever suffered from a life-threatening condition. But Kelly quickly jumped to her parents' defense, slamming the speculation and telling fans to "stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact." She firmly stated that it was all just her mom's attempt to get attention - classic Sharon style!
But that wasn't all, folks! Kelly also tackled another hot topic: Ozzy's health. There had been rumors circulating online that the rock star legend was "dying" due to his Parkinson's diagnosis. But Kelly shut down those claims with a fiery rant on her Instagram reel.
"So, there's this video going around on social media and it's supposed to be of my dad," she said, referencing a viral AI video of Ozzy talking about his mortality. "But what the f* is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this?" Kelly asked, exasperated. "He's not dying! He has Parkinson's, okay? His mobility is different now, but he's still my dad and he's still kicking!"
And if that wasn't enough, Kelly also shared some choice screenshots of comments on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, where fans were speculating about Ozzy's health. One tweet read: "Tell us Ozzy is going to be dying soon without telling us he's going to be dying soon." Um, yeah... not exactly what you want to say when your dad is still very much alive and rocking out on stage!
Speaking of which, Ozzy did indeed take the stage at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, UK for his final live show with Black Sabbath. But what made it even more special was that Kelly's partner, Sid Wilson, proposed to her backstage in front of her parents - talk about a family affair!
It seems like the Osbourne family is always in the headlines, but Kelly has no qualms about speaking her mind and setting the record straight. And let's be real, we love her for it! After all, someone's gotta keep her dad from being "dying" just yet.
A Brief History of Ozzy and Sharon's Euthanasia Plans
So, where did all this drama come from? Well, it seems like the Osbournes have been discussing euthanasia as an option for years. Back in 2007, Sharon wrote about her views on assisted suicide in her autobiography, Survivor: My Story - The Next Chapter. She revealed that Ozzy and she had both considered putting a plan in place to end their lives if they ever suffered from Alzheimer's or another debilitating condition.
"We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they've all agreed to go with it," Sharon wrote. "I saw my father suffer from the day he came back into my life in 2002 to the day he died in July... there's no way I could go through what he did, or put my kids through that."
Ozzy himself also weighed in on the topic in a 2014 interview with The Scholarly Note. He said: "If I can't live my life the way I'm living it now - and I don't mean financially - then that's it...[Switzerland]. If I had a stroke and was paralyzed, I don't want to be here."
It seems like this is a topic that's been on the Osbourne family's minds for years. But Kelly has made one thing clear: they're not "dying" anytime soon!
