Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne Feud: Sharon Osbourne's Scathing Response to Gaga's Open 'Bullying Letter' Diss
It appears that there's no end in sight to the ongoing feud between pop songstress Lady Gaga and British socialite Kelly Osbourne... the "Fashion Police" star's potty-mouthed mother Sharon Osbourne even felt the need to throw in her own two-cents! The younger Osbourne recently spoke with Fabulous magazine, where she bashes Gaga's Little Monster fans as disrespectful and crazy. In response, the Mother Monster recently penned an open letter on her Little Monsters fan page, expressing her disappointment in Osbourne being such a mean and judgmental bully (on her hit E! show, "Fashion Police"). But the fighting words didn't end there... former "America's Got Talent" judge Sharon Osbourne recently hit up Facebook, defending her daughter in a rather scathing response to Gaga's bullying letter. Read on for all the feuding details!
It's a known fact that Kelly Osbourne isn't the biggest Lady Gaga fan... she once referred to the "Just Dance" singer as a "disrespectful butterface" who "looked pregnant" after her recent weight gain. Little Monsters weren't too happy about that... and many began picking on and even threatening the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant. In the October 2012 issue of Fabulous magazine, Osbourne stated:
"Lady Gaga's fans are the worst... They've said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped. I mean it's crazy but I've had this all my life and I just try and ignore it."
Apparently things have gotten so bad between Kelly and avid Little Monster fans, that her mother Sharon Osbourne emailed Gaga's manager Vincent Herbert on Thursday (Jan. 10) to discuss the issue...
You might recall that I wrote to you last year about Gaga's fans bullying Kelly which you never really responded to. Well, it's continuing again. I want you to read the blog below from a Lady Gaga fan.
(Provides a link to a blog written by Little Monsters entitled "Kelly Osbourne Needs to Kill Herself," which has since been deleted). I thought that Gaga was a main campaigner against bullying. Vince, I'm leaving it in your hands to do the right thing here. One tweet from Gaga can change this whole situation. I'm not asking her to deal with this directly but she if she could tweet something to her fans about being more respectful that may end this. I'm sure she doesn't condone her fans saying such hideously offensive things.
Wishing you and your family the best in 2013.
All the best,
Sharon
Gaga's response - a thorough open "bullying" letter addressed to Kelly on her fan page, Little Monsters:
But Mama Osbourne didn't take the heartfelt "diss" sitting down... she recently wrote her own response to Gaga's open letter on Facebook:
I am responding to your open letter to my daughter Kelly, and I am perplexed as to why you would go public with an open letter. Regarding this current situation; Kelly didn't contact you, I was the one that contacted your manager today and the email is attached below for your reference. I reached out to him as Kelly's manager and mother to ask him if you could address your "little monster" fans and stop them from writing libelous, slanderous and vile comments about my family, including death threats to Kelly. Your open letter is hypocritical and full of contradictions. And as your mother Cynthia supports you, I support my daughter Kelly. I must say your opinions on what is politically correct and acceptable totally differ from mine, but that is what makes the world so interesting...we are all different. How sweet that you have empathy for my daughter, as you feel that she has taken a less passionate path in life. You say her work on E! with the Fashion Police is "rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another." Welcome to the real world. Example, when I saw you wear a dress made out of raw meat, I was sickened. When I see you wearing fur, and using it as a fashion statement, the fact that defenseless animals have been killed so you can get your picture in the press is abhorrent to me. Shouldn't you be teaching your "little monster" fans to respect animals and life? I don't feel I have to justify Kelly's choices in life to you. By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker. You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public? You state "Everyday, through my music and public voice I choose to be positive and work towards a kinder and braver world with our community of followers." Well this obviously is not translating well to your fans, as a large portion of them have not only been vile to Kelly, but also other celebrities such as Madonna, Adele and Rihanna. "You say a kinder, braver world" I don't know what world you live in, but supporting disgraceful fan comments doesn't fall under the words "kinder and braver." It comes under the heading of bullsh##. In closing, stop wearing fur, stop looking for publicity, and stop using your fans to belittle not just Kelly but an endless stream of celebrities. A word from you would stop all the hideous, negative and vile threats from your "little monsters." Let me know if you want to continue this debate. I'm an open playing field for you my darling."
Intense stuff! And Kelly Osbourne's response...
@MissKellyO: "I hope you guys realize that I don't care about any of this bulls##t! I know who I am I don't need anyone to tell me!... love to all xoxo."
So what side are Mstarz fans on... Team Gaga or Team Kelly?
