Sharon Osbourne’s fans rush to defend her after trolls claim she looks unrecognizable in new video
Fans of beloved TV personality Sharon Osbourne are rallying around her after her appearance was criticized in a recent video.
The 71-year-old went to a Taylor Swift concert in London over the weekend and was asked by a fellow concertgoer to recreate one of The X Factor UK’s most iconic auditions. The audition in question saw Welsh singer Rachel Lester call herself a “10/10” and claim she was “better than Madonna”.
A TikTok user even uploaded footage of the hilarious moment.
Sharon began the reenacment by asking: “Okay what’s your name?”
“Rachel,” the fan responded, to which Osbourne asked: “What do you do for a living?”
“Nothing I’m lazy at the moment,” the fan said. “Do you ever sing professional?’ Come on, tell us,” Osbourne said.
Delivering the iconic line, the fan then said: “Yeah of course I’ve been singing all my life, all round the towns and everything,’ to which Sharon replied: ‘Why don’t you sing for us now?'”

In any case, it was Osbourne’s appearance that sparked the biggest discussion in the comments of the clip, with many claiming they could no longer recognize her and some questioning whether she was still using the weight loss drug Ozempic.
The The Osbournes star had previously spoken about using the type 2 diabetes medication after she lost 42lbs. However, in March this year, she admitted she has struggled to put any weight back on.
One insisted under the clip: “If you didn’t say that was Sharon Osbourne I would not have known that was Sharon Osbourne.”
Another wrote: “Hang on. Is that Sharon Osborne? Why does her face look like that?’; ‘I was waiting for Sharon in the video to appear.'”
A third penned: “I can’t focus on anything other than Sharon’s very gaunt face. Ozempic is killing people’s looks. ‘Wth happened to her face?”
However, fans then began defending Osbourne in equal numbers, with one saying: “Oh leave her alone!!! She is an amazing woman!”
Another argued: “She’s getting older that’s it, people love to point out how ‘bad’ someone looks even though it’s a known fact time destroys our bodies. Wait till you’ll(if even alive) look ‘fabulous’ at 60+. Our society is still in a such a low level of intellect.”
A third added: “Leave her alone…she’s already stated that she’s lost too much weight and she knows it….she’s having trouble gaining weight…I think everyone needs to concentrate on their own appearance instead of worrying what other people look like!”
