If you didn’t know (you definitely didn’t know), the Osbourne family has a little podcast called, The Osbourne’s Podcast, where Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack, seemingly kind of vaguely talk about whatever’s happening in pop culture. The podcast originally launched in 2018 but only went for four months. They just revived it in September, with Sharon telling Rolling Stone that “nothing is off limits,” and Kelly adding, “I wish there were things that were off limits.”
Jezebel staff writer Audra Heinrichs perused the podcast on Wednesday and it sounds, kind of stupid.
I was today years old when I learned the Osbourne family—as in, of early aughts reality television fame—has a podcast. After a quick perusal of recent episodes which include “Sharon’s Demon Attack” and a breakdown of the feud between 50 Cent and Donald Trump, it seems Ozzy, Sharon, and two of their children, Jack and Kelly, are just kind of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
But it seems they finally got something to stick…that is, as long as they believe in the idea that all press is good press.
On Tuesday’s episode, they basically talked shit about Spears, with Ozzy specifically saying, “I’m fed up with seeing poor old Britney Spears [dancing]. Every fucking day. You know, it’s sad. Very, very sad.” (Which, as Audra also noted: Can someone teach this old man to hit the unfollow button?) Kelly said she felt “sorry for her,” with Sharon adding, “it’s heartbreaking.” This all seems very unnecessary but sure.
Spears then posted a very long note on Instagram, which concluded with, “I’m gonna do a photoshoot with Kate [Beckinsale] and tell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly f–k off !!!” It doesn’t seem like the Osbournes made any comments about Beckinsale, but she’s also recently been targeted by some ugly trolls who keep criticizing her social media posts.
An hour after she posted her Instagram note, Spears posted another video of herself dancing in tiny hot pink bikini bottoms to “Love Story” by French singer-songwriter, Indila. As we love to say here at Jezebel, good for her!!!
