After Ozzy Osbourne and his family complained about Britney Spears‘ dancing videos during an episode of The Osbournes Podcast, the singer issued an apology, along with some constructive criticism.
In an episode of The Osbournes Podcast, released Monday, Ozzy Osbourne said, “I’m so sorry for making that comment. However, it would be better if you didn’t do the same fucking dance every day. Change a few movements.”
Kelly Osbourne quickly followed her father’s comment with, “I was gonna say Britney never stop dancing, I love your dancing. It makes you so happy and I’m sorry if we offended you.” Ozzy Osbourne added that he is a fan of the artist but said that her dance moves were repetitive, to which Kelly Osbourne quipped, “No, sometimes she has knives.”
The apology follows Ozzy Osbourne’s July 16 comment on The Osbournes Podcast, where he said he was “fed up with seeing poor old Britney Spears on YouTube. Every fucking day.” Afterward, he called her dance videos “very, very sad.” His family members agreed.
The “Oops!…I Did It Again” star responded in a statement, referring to rom-com Serendipity star Kate Beckinsale, and praised the actress for standing up to critics online, calling it “pretty badass.” She continued by sharing, “I hardly ever dance” and responded to Sharon Osbourne, who called her “a poor little thing,” by writing “I’m not poor at all!!!”
“I know what it’s like to be judged,” Spears wrote in a statement. “But I think it’s important to help each other and invite each other to places that help our souls grow !!!… What are you gonna do to help someone out and bring their dreams to life besides being like me and Kate’s haters saying we’re too old or don’t have appropriate content ??? Do you think perhaps they might be offended by what they see ???”
Britney Spears concluded by asking the Osbourne family to “kindly fuck off.”
Ozzy Osbourne reiterated his apology to Spears on Monday, ending the podcast by saying, “I really do apologize. I love you and I think you’re beautiful.”
